Paul Andrews joined the brokerage team in 2011. He currently represents both landlords and tenants in Portland neighborhoods from Hayden Island to the Pearl District to Sunset Corridor. He grew up in the family business, and spent many Saturdays going to the office with his dad. Paul appreciates how much he learns and grows from his colleagues, clients, and friends. The outdoors enthusiast combines an outgoing personality with an analytical side-- he works backward on each project, setting an end goal first then charting a plan of action that helps clients reach their objective. “My job is to develop a foundation in which clients have all the relevant information they need to make informed decisions for themselves.”

 

The grandson of Melvin Mark Companies founder Melvin “Pete” Mark and youngest son of Melvin Mark executive Scott Andrews, Paul got his start in the competitive Bay Area commercial real estate market with Ritchie Commercial in San Francisco and San Jose, Calif. After graduating magna cum laude from  Santa Clara University, Paul spent three months at the National Outdoor Leadership School in Wyoming, where he learned to lead mountaineering, rock climbing, and canoeing expeditions.

 

 

"Paul grasped our needs quickly, and he guided us through to narrow down our search until we found THE one. He was attentive to details, patient, and eager to help us in all aspects of our relocation project, even after the project to make sure we got the tenant improvements that we deserved."

Kanako Fujisaki, director of Business Operations, NetXposure

 

"Frankly, I was originally skeptical about hiring a broker to help my company find a new office to lease. But in hindsight, finding and retaining Paul was a great decision that I now wouldn't think twice about ... Paul was instrumental in helping us find the perfect spot, as well as making the negotiations and contracts easy. He was there helping at every stage."
