Kari Montoya

My excitement for home building started in a very modern way - binge watching HGTV shows. I graduated from Portland State University in the Spring of 2018, and was honored to start my post-grad career with Adair Homes shortly after. It's a privilege to be a part of a team that cares endlessly about our customers, and helping them achieve their dream home goals. Outside of work, you can find me golfing, camping, reading, or spending time with friends and family.

Finding your homestead is a gift—and then, sometimes, it’s a GIFT. In the case of the Hardin Family from Monroe, Oregon, it is both. Their heritage property couldn’t be any more perfect; a six-acre homesite nestled into the pines. And out the back deck? Riverfront views.

January of 2020 saw a 14% drop in inventory, and that was before the pandemic. Even with the low inventory, sales numbers of single-family homes have only grown since the beginning of the year.

The Real Estate industry has changed so much in the past ten years, it's nearly impossible to remember what we did before we had all the online resources we have now. Today, our first instinct is to turn to our phones and iPads. Whatever we are looking for—from a ready-built house to bare dirt—listings are a mere click away. But with virtual tours, 3-D tours, and Google Earth is it really important to “walk-the-lot” these days?
