    Lawrence began his career in real estate in 1978 right after graduating from the University of Oregon. He was introduced to real estate by his college friend Mike Hasson who was working for Shelter Properties at the time, along with Barbara Sue Seal and many other of today's top Portland area Realtors. 

    His first sale was a mobile home on five acres outside of Oregon City that he sold for $13,500.  Since then Lawrence has been involved in over 6,000 transactions valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate. He has owned a mortgage company that he built up to having  offices in four Western States, and he pioneered the "Short Sale" niche of the business 20 years ago during the last real estate down turn. He's been called upon as an expert witness in matters pertaining to real estate finance, and he aided the FBI in the arrest and conviction of perpetrators of loan fraud against federally insured savings institutions in Southern California.

    Real estate has always been an exciting and challenging field for Lawrence.  He is an eager student of the economy and its effect on the housing industry. His opinions on the direction of the real estate market have had him interviewed on radio and television and quoted in the Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register and San Diego Tribune. He was also invited to write the article on "Short Sales" for the "Riverside Lawyer Magazine" the official publication of the Riverside Bar Association for the issue devoted to foreclosure.

    Besides being well abreast of the technical side of the market Lawrence is also a trained negotiator having gone through the rigorous Xerox Negotiation Training offered during the 1980's. The experience that Lawrence has gathered over the years has helped many other real estate agents and loan officers reach levels in their careers that would not have been possible without his mentoring.

    Together Bernadette Radie and Lawrence Belland have combined to form a real estate organization that is founded on knowledge, experience, technology, and an unparalleled devotion to their profession. What they bring to the table for their clients is the bar by which other agents are measured against.

    After many years in the retail software sales industry Jennifer felt she needed to be involved in an industry more mentally stimulating; something where the rewards would only be tied to her efforts, and not the number of hours she worked. 

    After considering a number of industries Jennifer decided to become involved in Real Estate Sales. After earning her Brokers license in 2003 she started selling new homes for one of the largest home builders in Oregon.  She became immediately smitten with the complex process of selling, and acquiring real estate, and has not once doubted her decision to become a real estate professional ever since.

    Now, 6 years later, she specializes in working with the unique needs of buyers.  She takes the time to listen to what matters to her buyers and to understand what their idea of the “Perfect” home is. Her passion is researching, discovering and introducing her clients to the home of their dreams. This is done through meaningful and timely communication and constant feedback.  All of her buyer’s questions and concerns are important to her and she responds to their needs quickly with a phone call or email.

    Instead of the distraction of having to wear many “hats” involved throughout a typical transaction, as a team member with Lawrence Belland & Associates in our Portland office, she gets to focus on what she loves most, investigating the market and negotiating the very best buys for her buyers.

    949-230-5209

    Shirley's attention to detail, and really listening to what the buyer wants has her clients seeing the homes that are meaningful to them, not just a laundry list of “3 bed 2 bath” homes; she’ll give you the properties to consider that you’ll really want to consider “Home”.

     

    When buying real estate in Southern Ca., it is important to have the right agent to make sure you have the very latest information available to you. I have been a resident of Southern Ca. for many years, and during my time as a real estate agent I have come to know the area and some of its properties very well. So well, in fact, that I often get "inside info" long before anyone else gets to know about it. Some of this info has proved crucial to my buyers during their home search of the area.

    Shirley offers extreme service that makes the home buying experience as exciting as it should be.  The experience that Shirley brings to the table will eliminate the anxiety that can sometimes be brought into a transaction by agents with less experience.

     

    If you’re looking for a buyer representative that  loves what she does, because she does it so well, contact Shirley and enjoy the home buying experience that you deserve.
