Having lived in Oregon her entire life, Kim Chamness brings both deep roots and deep market knowledge to her real estate practice in the Columbia River Gorge. Drawn to the region by the natural beauty of the river, mountains, and outdoor lifestyle, Kim and her family made their home in the Upper Hood River Valley—a place she knows not just as a market, but as a community. Licensed in both Oregon and Washington since 2002, Kim has built her career on experience, consistency, and a genuine love for helping people navigate one of life’s biggest decisions. She joined Windermere Real Estate Columbia River Gorge in 2003, aligning herself with a company known for integrity, local involvement, and a long-standing commitment to the Gorge. Kim’s approach is intentionally low-pressure and highly client-focused. She believes informed clients make confident decisions, which is why education is central to everything she does—from explaining the process step by step to sharing honest insights about local neighborhoods, market trends, and long-term value. Her goal is never to “sell,” but to guide, advocate, and ensure her clients feel supported and empowered throughout the journey. With a strong understanding of both the numbers and the nuances of the Gorge market, Kim helps buyers and sellers move forward with clarity and confidence. Your goals lead the way, and her role is to make the experience as smooth, thoughtful, and stress-free as possible—while helping you find not just a property, but a place that truly feels like home.
