In 1991, after successfully growing her photography business into a production company in Sydney, Australia, Peggy returned to her hometown at the age of 27. While generating business for her company, Hoag had learned to listen to hear instead of listening to reply. With hands-on experience building a client base, a constant focus on delivering impeccable customer service, and a linear approach to success in business, she chose real estate as her next career. Hoag’s focus was helping people moving to the beautiful Pacific Northwest region by cultivating a deep understanding of the community and cultural variations of each neighborhood and sharing that knowledge with relocating families. She began by contacting relocation companies asking what she needed to do to earn their business. Their advice was to know the four quadrants of Portland inside and out; at that time, most brokers only worked one neighborhood. Hoag did what they asked, soon adding Clark County and the Columbia Gorge. Being active region-wide exposed Hoag’s listed homes to a larger buyer pool. This discovery propelled her to develop her unique marketing strategies. Maximum marketing exposure earns top dollar. When marketed properly, a home is seen by the greatest number of people, so the home sells sooner, resulting in a higher sale price. Peggy Hoag and her team consistently strive for superb customer service. Hoag continually asks herself, “How can I help meet my client’s present need?” With this outlook, she has assembled an experienced team with a similar mindset. Although the firm has closed over one billion dollars in real estate transactions, they understand that their business tomorrow is only as good as their service today. Hoag and her team want you to have a satisfying real estate experience, and, when the timing is right, they are committed to making that happen.

"Peggy Hoag leads the industry in her knowledge and professionalism. Her team has mastered the art o..."
