Gavin Shettler

I moved to Portland, Oregon in January of 1994 from Kansas City, Missouri. Since then, I have watched our city grow and flourish into one of the best places to live in the United States. Portland has all of the amenities of a large city, while maintaining an ease and connectedness of neighborhoods and community that is much more like a small town. I love this about Portland, and feel honored that I have been part of such a place.

My background is in the arts. I am a classically trained musician in voice and cello. In 2000, I became involved in the visual arts—first as an owner of a small art gallery, then founder and director of a non-profit contemporary art center, and finally the creative director of a housing project of live/work spaces for artists called Milepost 5. Over the past decade, I have curated over 150 art shows, developed a wide range of arts programming, facilities development, small business and organizational development, and the production of all types of art events and performances. Today, I continue to curate art exhibitions at Portland Providence Hospital and through Living Room Realtors.

Through all of my work, what I have enjoyed the most is a sense of helping people: helping artists with their vision and careers and helping community members understand art and its importance to our city. Now, as a real estate agent, I am excited to help individuals with the process of home ownership. At Living Room Realtors, I have found a different kind of realty company: one that is focused on community building, personal connections, and individuality where my background in the arts seamlessly connects to my real estate practice.
