Introduction

My name is Jassi Akkal, and I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of clients buy and sell properties throughout Oregon and Washington. As both a commercial and residential real estate broker, I’ve built my reputation on delivering results, providing honest advice, and guiding clients through complex transactions with clarity and confidence. For over a decade, I’ve been the number one broker at Oregon First, a title that reflects the trust my clients place in me and my consistent performance. On average, my annual sales range between $40 million and $50 million, highlighting my market knowledge and ability to close deals effectively. Whether you're looking to buy or sell a home, gas station, convenience store, hotel, motel, restaurant, or liquor store, I have the expertise and track record to make it happen.
Real estate is about more than just showing properties, it’s about understanding people, markets, and opportunities. It’s about solving problems, negotiating strategically, and being there when my clients need me most. I listen carefully to understand your goals and financial needs, whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a family selling a long-time residence, or an investor seeking to expand your portfolio. Every transaction is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific circumstances.
My experience spans both residential and commercial real estate, offering a broad spectrum of expertise that few agents can match. I’m as comfortable helping a couple buy their first home as I am assisting a business owner in acquiring a multi-million-dollar hotel or gas station. My specialty in commercial properties, such as gas stations, convenience stores, hotels, motels, restaurants, and liquor stores, sets me apart. These properties require in-depth knowledge of business operations, licensing, environmental concerns, financial documents, and location strategy—areas in which I excel. I’ve closed countless commercial transactions and know how to navigate the complexities involved.
Being licensed in both Oregon and Washington allows me to offer a broad regional perspective. I understand the differences in regulations, taxes, and property types between the two states, and I’ve helped clients in cities like Portland, Vancouver, Salem, Eugene, and Tacoma. I don’t just rely on online listings, I drive neighborhoods, talk to local business owners, study zoning maps, and stay attuned to local market trends. This hands-on knowledge helps my clients make informed decisions, buy smart, and sell strategically.
With over $40 million in annual sales for more than ten years, I’ve consistently been one of the highest-producing brokers in the region. This success is a product of hard work, strong relationships, and sharp negotiation skills. Many clients return for repeat business, and I’m proud to have earned their trust. Some start with a single home purchase and later hire me for investment properties, while others refer friends, family, and business partners. I take pride in this because it means I’m doing something right.
Clear, honest communication is a cornerstone of my service. Whether buying or selling, especially in the commercial realm, there are many moving parts. I keep my clients informed every step of the way, ensuring that they fully understand the risks and rewards of each transaction. If a deal isn’t in your best interest, I’ll tell you; if there are potential risks, I’ll walk you through them. This honesty builds trust, and trust is everything in this business. My clients know they can rely on me to put their interests first and negotiate aggressively on their behalf.
Marketing is another area where I excel. I don’t just list a property and wait for calls—I create professional marketing packages, advertise on high-traffic platforms, and leverage my network of investors and brokers. For a commercial property like a gas station or motel, I highlight key factors such as fuel volume, sales data, location demographics, occupancy rates, and local tourism trends. My marketing is detailed, targeted, and designed to speak directly to serious buyers. Selling or buying a business requires a unique skill set. I understand business valuations, financial statements, environmental liabilities, licensing processes, franchise agreements, and employee considerations. From spotting red flags in profit-and-loss statements to negotiating with suppliers, I know how to navigate the complexities of buying or selling commercial properties. Clients seeking to buy or sell gas stations, motels, or restaurants trust me because I understand the industry inside and out, not just the real estate market.
Real estate is about more than just today’s deal, it’s about your long-term goals. I encourage clients to think strategically about the future. Whether you’re building an income property portfolio or buying your first commercial asset, I’ll help you assess growth potential, neighborhood trends, and opportunities for rezoning or redevelopment. My goal is not just to close a sale, but to help you build wealth and stability for the long term. Even after years in the business, I continue to learn and adapt. The market changes, laws evolve, and technology shifts the way we buy and sell properties. I stay on top of trends, take continuing education seriously, and constantly improve my skills to serve my clients better. This proactive approach ensures that I remain sharp and ready to tackle whatever the market brings.
I didn’t become the top broker at Oregon First by accident. My success comes from my commitment, to my clients, my craft, and my community. Every transaction matters to me. I return calls promptly, meet deadlines, and go the extra mile to ensure my clients’ needs are met. If you work with me, you’re not just getting a broker, you’re getting a dedicated professional who will work tirelessly on your behalf to help you achieve your real estate goals.
