PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Drew Coleman today announced the creation of Opt in partnership with Side, the only real estate technology company that exclusively partners with high-performing agents, teams, and independent brokerages to transform them into market-leading boutique brands and businesses. Opt will leverage Side's industry-leading invisible brokerage platform to support its elite agents and provide consistently exceptional customer service to clients.

"At Opt, we understand that the real estate transaction can be confusing for both buyers and sellers," Coleman said. "We believe all of our clients deserve an advocate, partner and friend who puts their goals and needs first. By partnering with Side, we've gained access to cutting-edge technology, plus legal, marketing, and administrative tools and services. That makes us even better equipped to focus on what's always mattered most to us — providing an outstanding customer experience to every one of our clients throughout the Portland metro area."

Coleman launched his Portland real estate career in 2001. Since then, he and his team have closed more than 1,500 transactions, with 340 worth $175 million in 2021 alone. In 2020, he was the highest-producing agent at a company that is ranked No. 1 in the Pacific Northwest for average sales volume per broker.

A powerhouse leader in organized real estate, Coleman served as 2019 president of the Portland Metropolitan Association of REALTORS® and recently finished his term as 2021 president of the Oregon REALTORS®. His deep knowledge of the Portland real estate market makes him distinctly well-equipped to connect with clients of all types, from first-time buyers to sellers of luxury homes.

Partnering with Side will ensure Opt remains on the cutting edge of the evolving real estate market while continuing to deliver premium services to its clients. Side works behind the scenes, supporting Opt with its one-of-a-kind brokerage platform that includes proprietary technology, transaction management, branding and marketing services, public relations, legal support, lead generation, vendor management and more.
