Redefining Luxury Through Relationship with Yonette Fine

What does luxury really mean in Portland real estate? And what does it look like to build a thriving business rooted in listening, intention, and follow through?

In this episode of the Open House Podcast from Living Room Realty, we sit down with Yonette Fine to talk about building a remarkable luxury business from a small, intentional sphere and growing it through genuine connection.

From her early experiences buying and selling in the Bay Area to serving clients in Portland's West Hills, Yonette shares how she stepped out of her family design business and into real estate with purpose. She opens up about what she felt was missing in the industry, a deeper relationship driven approach, and how she built her reputation by truly listening.

In this episode, we explore:

• How luxury real estate moves differently across micro markets
• Why listening is the most powerful tool an agent has
• What "being two steps ahead" really looks like in client service
• The art of thoughtful gifting and personal touches that lead to referrals years later
• Why communication and follow through are the foundation of trust
• How community driven values elevate service at every price point

Yonette also shares a story about experiencing exceptional service on a flight and how that moment reshaped the way she shows up for her clients today.

This conversation is a reminder that luxury is not just a price point. It is attentiveness. It is discipline. It is knowing your neighborhoods deeply. It is making people feel seen.

If you are an agent looking to grow into the luxury space, or simply want to understand how relationship driven service creates lasting success, this episode is full of wisdom, warmth, and practical insight.
