About
Michael Bivens is a seasoned real estate professional with over 20 years of experience and a diverse background spanning computer technology, internet services, software, medical devices, retail, and wholesale industries. His experience working with numerous start-up companies has sharpened his ability to make sound, strategic business decisions that increase the likelihood of long-term success.

Whether representing buyers or sellers, Michael is known for being exceptionally prepared, highly organized, and deeply committed to his clients’ best interests. He brings a rare combination of analytical rigor and market intuition, enabling him to accurately assess value in commercial real estate while also uncovering residential opportunities clients often did not think were possible. His negotiation skills and disciplined approach consistently lead to strong outcomes.

Michael holds a degree in Real Estate from San Diego State University—an uncommon distinction that underscores his formal training and lifelong commitment to the profession. He has founded multiple companies, developing viable business plans and successfully taking ideas from inception to market. This entrepreneurial background allows him to view real estate not just as property, but as a strategic investment and business decision.

After falling in love with the Oregon lifestyle, Michael and his wife, DJ, relocated from Southern California to Portland in 2001. He is proud to have raised two accomplished daughters—one an elementary school teacher, the other a professional soccer player who competed with the U.S. Women’s National Team in the 2003 World Cup. Today, his four grandchildren are, in his words, the icing on the cake.

Michael’s passion for real estate, commitment to professionalism, and respect for the art of the deal are evident in every transaction.

I have worked with Michael Bivens on many transactions and believe he is one of the finest Realtors in the Portland Metro region. His Clients agree as well! He is one of the best at calmly assessing the situation and confidently addressing his client’s needs with professional wisdom & sound guidance. With his calm demeanor, expert negotiation skills, and an uncanny ability to always bring things to a successful conclusion, Michael is the kind of Agent you want on your side.

We purchased our first home with Michael and had a great experience. The Portland area is a very competitive market yet we felt no pressure working with Michael. He is honest, responsive and very friendly. He was also extremely informative during the purchase process. We found our dream home and couldn't be happier. We highly recommend working with him - thank you Michael!

I have purchased and sold many homes in California. Now being transferred to Oregon I have truthfully met the best realtor I have ever dealt with. Mike knows his business and will send you in the right direction
within your financial requirements. This guy totally knows the Oregon market. Just be known you will not be disappointed. Mike is the best.

Michael Bivens is unequaled in his service & knowledge in Real Estate. Going the extra distance is the norm for him. We have sold many houses over the years & I have never had a better experience than we had with Michael. He assisted not only in his expertise with selling, but also in our finding contractors to help facilitate our inspection list. He was at our closing, that's rare in this market. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, honest realtor and professional through & through. He's a quality person!

Mike was a wonderful realtor! He really took the time to help us through the whole process, which for first time home buyers, really made the difference. It was not an easy road to get our first home, but Mike made the journey easier and I would recommend him to anyone I know!
