Kerry O’Neal
Principal Broker/Owner Strategic Realty, LLC
Biographical Info
Originally hailing from Houston, Texas, Kerry has spent the last 20 years actively making his living from the Central Oregon real estate market. A licensed Oregon Principal Broker with over 25 years in real estate brokerage, Kerry has played the role of broker, builder, developer, consultant, and confidant for the largest names in Oregon real estate. As a gifted speaker, who has given national presentations of subjects from marketing strategics to technology integration, Kerry’s more recent focus has been on helping businesses, individuals and banks find their way through this ever-changing economy. When there is a major correction in the market, few people’s advice is more sought after than Kerry’s.
Kerry is continually sought by people with properties that seem to be “market resistant.” A banking client was impressed as Kerry sold two residential properties at prices 22% and 26% above the bank’s appraisal in the declining market. Kerry always awes people who have become frustrated with the real estate market and helps guide them through the process every step of the way.
In 2009, Kerry became best known as the broker that brought Facebook to Central Oregon. Over the course of 18-months, he worked closely with EDCO, the City of Prineville, Crook County, and Aspen Ville, LLC to broker what we now believe to be the largest single-entity private investment in Central Oregon. The $200,000,000 Facebook datacenter facility is continuing to change what was otherwise a very bleak outlook for the economy of Prineville, Oregon.
Not only is Kerry an amazing real estate broker with knowledge expanding all areas of the real estate industry, he has an amazing ability to create masterpieces in the kitchen. You never know what he will cook up next and he truly enjoys the science behind how the ingredients blend together, making every dish something you will never forget. Kerry is truly an artist in the kitchen.
Kerry’s passion for life and helping others succeed is unmatched. He has a knowledge of life and an understanding of people that helps him to be a valuable leader in our company. Kerry enjoys learning and knowing people and how they think and what makes them who they are. you won’t find a more honest and hard working man in the real estate industry.
When he is not wowing the real estate community or creating masterpieces in the kitchen, Kerry enjoys finding new places to explore in Central Oregon. He is always up for an adventure and a challenge. He enjoys hiking, backpacking, running and all the amazing sites and experiences Central Oregon has to offer. He will always be a Texan but he has found his forever home in the beauty of Central Oregon.
