Owner I Operator

Nate didn’t know it at the time, but his love for real estate started when he was very young with his dad owning apartments. He and his older brother Dylan would spend countless hours growing up working on the apartments and learning the ins and outs of multifamily real estate. Nate graduated from Medford High School in 2015 and attended RCTC for Radiologic Sciences. During his time in high school and college, Nate worked in multiple trades including Tree removal, HVAC, and plumbing. He never finished college as he realized quickly that wasn’t what he loved or wanted to do, he loved real estate. When he was getting his real estate license he started working with a commercial roofing company and quickly transitioned to being a full-time residential real estate agent. He spent a little over a year focusing on residential before transitioning into commercial and property management. Nate has been with Realty Growth since 2019 and has since focused on growing the management business and dealing in multifamily, commercial, and residential sales. Nate is a member of the National Association of Realtors. In his free time, he enjoys spending time at his family cabin fishing, dirt biking, camping, and traveling with his girlfriend Jenna, and their Goldendoodle Cooper.
