Vancouver, Washington (PRWEB) August 31, 2017 -- Premier broker Donna Roberts, Donna Roberts Group, today moves her agency to Cascade Sotheby’s International Realty, a thriving real estate presence in SW Washington and the Portland metro area. The former John L. Scott broker—and a $240 million producer—chose Cascade Sotheby’s to leverage the strong international brand and marketing platform in the SW Washington market.
“Donna Roberts is one of the most respected and successful brokers in SW Washington—to have her choose Cascade Sotheby’s speaks volumes about the impact the Sotheby’s brand has in this market,” says Deb Tebbs, founder and CEO, Cascade Sotheby’s International Realty. “We are building a growing footprint of listings in Oregon and SW Washington—welcoming Donna onboard helps us accelerate our momentum and propels us to our next level of growth.”
