In this blog, we follow the 80/20 rule for posting. Actually it is probably more like 90/10. Ninety percent of our content strives to inform, educate or entertain our readers. Only ten percent promotes our services. This practice has served us well as readers come to see us as experts in Lake Oswego real estate, lifestyle and community events.

So it’s a bit out of character to toot our own horns, but we wanted to share with you that we have just been recognized by RealTrends Verified as one of the top real estate professionals in America. Named to their 2025 RealTrends Verified + The Thousand ranking, we are honored to be in the top 1.5% of real estate professionals.

Considered a trusted benchmarking tool, RealTrends Verified ensures the accuracy of their data by independently verifying the performance of professionals in different categories: agents, teams and brokerages.

The Costello Group was ranked #46 in the small teams category by sales volume in Oregon. We like to think that in addition to measurable qualities like sales volume, we also earned the honor through the service we provide and the integrity with which we advise our clients.

As we have mentioned before, clients are always amazed when we talk them OUT of buying a home when we don’t believe it’s a good value. We’re not in the business of selling homes. We’re in the business of helping our clients make wise homebuying and selling decisions.

So to all those homebuyers and sellers who have placed their trust in us, we thank you for the privilege and we look forward to helping others make their next move their best one.
