PORTLAND, OR-Sperry Van Ness International has expanded its presence in the Portland, OR metropolitan area, which includes Vancouver, WA, with the addition of Bluestone & Hockley Real Estate Services. The firm will now operate as Sperry Van Ness/Bluestone & Hockley, located at 9320 Southwest Barbur Blvd., Suite 300 in Portland.
According to a prepared company statement, the addition of Bluestone & Hockley is part of Sperry Van Ness’ national expansion, which has grown to more than 155 individually owned and operated locations since the company’s inception in 1987. “We are excited about this opportunity to extend Sperry Van Ness’ services platform in the Pacific Northwest,” says Sperry Van Ness president and CEO Kevin Maggiacomo. “Bluestone & Hockley is the premiere brokerage firm in the region and brings nearly 40 years of local commercial real estate expertise to our company.”
Led by owner Cliff Hockley, who will serve as executive director, Sperry Van Ness/Bluestone & Hockley specializes in the sale and lease of multifamily, office, single- and multi-tenant retail, hospitality, gas stations and banked-owned properties. The 17-person operation currently manages more than 6,000 units with a portfolio that includes houses, apartment communities, mobile home parks, condominium associations, offices, retail and industrial buildings.
