George A. Lampus Partner, Principal Broker Licensed in the State of Oregon PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: “The selling and leasing of Commercial Real Estate is, like most businesses, about fulfilling needs. How a broker fulfills the needs is what separates the best from the rest!” I grew up in my family’s retail business: Lampus Company was all about ‘Brand Names at Discount Prices’ with great service. As a kid I did carry outs, assembled lawn furniture, marked automotive goods, & swept the floors for starters. After college I sold appliances, furniture, and televisions. Wonder why Standard TV and Appliance used my services for brokering the purchases of their Beaverton and NE Portland locations? I knew the margins, turnover, costs, need for low overhead and found the right properties. Ditto for The Bike Galley and many others. When we sold our retail business in 1986, I made the transition into commercial real estate, but the retailer in me never left, and never will. Great Service, extra effort, whatever I can honestly and ethically do gets done. Sounds good, right? Proof?
