Portland Broker Yascha Noonberg Recognized by Living Room Realty for Leadership in a Slower Market
This month, Living Room Realty owner Jenelle Isaacson Etzel publicly recognized Portland real estate broker Yascha Noonberg, Principal Broker of The Yascha Group, after he led a roundtable for the brokerage's agents on navigating a slower market.
In her post, Jenelle wrote that Yascha "led a roundtable on navigating a slower market, sharing real experiences, creative strategies, and lessons learned along the way."
What his brokerage owner said
"He's built such a strong business by being professional, collaborative, and genuinely great to work with. He has a way of staying calm and finding solutions even when transactions get complicated. And get this: he recently earned five-star reviews not just from his clients, but from the brokers on the other side of the deal! Now that's something worth celebrating." — Jenelle Isaacson Etzel, Living Room Realty
She added that the session's biggest takeaways were about how Yascha "holds the gravity and calm inside the transaction, so clients can make clear, confident decisions even when the road gets complicated."
Why it matters for buyers and sellers
Portland's market has shifted. Listings are sitting longer, buyers are more cautious, and deals that once closed on autopilot now need problem-solving at every step. That is where experience shows.
At the roundtable, Yascha shared stories from recent transactions, including a mid-century modern listing that took three buyers to finally close, and a case where marketing a seller's assumable VA loan opened up a pool of buyers no one had been reaching. The common thread: stay calm, find the angle others missed, and keep clients focused on clear decisions.
Five-star reviews from opposing brokers are rare. They reflect a reputation for being straightforward, prepared, and easy to get a deal done with, which helps clients on both sides of a transaction.
