Following a successful career in commercial banking, Craig decided to pursue a new professional endeavor, where he could better utilize his innate people skills and uncanny knack for keeping his finger on the local pulse.

He went into real estate in 2002 and later formed Urban Pacific in 2006, with an eye toward creating a fun, casual experience that matches clients with their ideal traditional home in the heart of the city. As the company’s owner and principal broker, Craig remains keenly interested in fostering community and cultural development in the greater Portland area via the reestablishment of older homes and neighborhoods.

When not taking new clients on his signature “Super Show” of homes, Craig can typically be found playing master of ceremonies at charity events and appearing on the occasional episode of HGTV’s My First Place.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“We have worked with Craig Olson for over 10 years and through 5 buy and sell transactions. We could not imagine using any other Real Estate Professional. We always work with Craig as he is the most knowledgeable, trustworthy, reliable and “looks out for you” Realtor there is. HAND’S DOWN!

Craig displays a great deal of patience and never gives you the impression that you are taking too long or looking at too may houses. He is there with you in the search to find just the right place and encourages no compromises. He stayed with us during our last home search for 8 months, until just the right property came on the market, and it just so happened to be a short sale, which Craig made so much easier to deal with. He communicated with us often during the drawn out process and celebrated with us when we finally closed on our dream house.

Craig is more than just a Realtor – he takes a real interest in his clients and is truly dedicated to making the buying and selling process as stress free and exciting as possible. Craig is a true professional.”
– Liz and Greg Heath

“One of the first thoughts I had after Craig helped me successfully navigate my first home purchase was a sense of sadness when I realized that I wouldn’t have the pleasure of interacting with him on a near-daily basis. I know that many of my friends who have also had great experiences with Craig feel the same way, and he won’t soon be having a lack of referrals coming his way from any of us. He doesn’t want to sell you A house; he wants to sell you YOUR house. He has a way of making you feel like the most important client he has, because he truly believes that and works so hard to help you. God bless the Swan.”
– Glenn Moore

“It has been my pleasure to work with Craig for years. He is the rare combination of an honest, savvy, consummate professional who also makes the typically nerve-wrenching real estate buying and selling process fun. Not an easy feat!

Every one of my transactions has gone as smoothly as silk — I wouldn’t consider working with anyone else. He is, quite simply, a gem!”
