Jarrin Benson is a 5-year agent based in the Portland metro area. Prior to becoming an agent his profession was technical production for large-scale corporate events, where he worked with Fortune 500 marketing teams to create world-class experiences for guests. Taking this eye for marketing and focusing on the client experience, Jarrin has built a truly rewarding real estate sales career. He believes his focus on social media as a display of personality and not just sales posts is one of the ways he sets himself apart from other agents. He has also fully renovated 5 homes and built a full basement ADU into an Airbnb in the last 5 years. Project managing the financial aspects and some design aspects is also a strong suit and passion of his.
Jarrin is doing real estate his way on his terms and loving life. I’ve always said that the only reason to be in real estate is to live your best life and Jarrin is the perfect example of that.
