The Oregon and Washington markets continue to see real estate sales grow annually due to a phenomenon led almost entirely by overseas, ex-Californian and mega-metropolis investors seeking the live-work-thrive harmony found in Oregon and Washington. In February, Jennifer Benelli and Elliott W. Moore were hired to formally launch, energize and expand the new construction and development division at Luxe Platinum Properties/Christie’s International Real Estate to meet the international market demands “Each year is bigger than the last, and this quarter is projected to be our biggest one yet,” said Luxe Platinum Properties/Christie’s International Real Estate CEO-Owner Terry Sprague in a statement. “In my international trips to Europe and Asia within the last year, we know that our overseas investors and Christie’s broker teams are looking for new, high quality, turn-key homes. This is why we are responding to that demand by investing in a top-notch New Construction & Development team within our firm.”
