   I am Ron Ross. I have been in the commercial real estate business for a very long time-since 1978, full time, all the time. I’ve learned a lot over the course of my 35+ year career, having personally conducted over 1,200 real estate transactions plus supervising many thousands of additional transactions in my capacity as a managing broker.As a Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM), the highest level of educational attainment in the commercial real estate industry, I have had the opportunity to travel the country and throughout the world to learn about, and teach commercial real estate best practices and principles. Still, I’m always learning something new. Chances are, I discover something new relative to the industry every day.I am a consistent Top Broker for Compass Commercial, one of the leading commercial firms in the state of Oregon. I know how to market property, I know how to get deals done, and I know how to listen. I have closed hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate transactions ranging from less than to well over $10 million. During the recent Great Recession, I represented banks in managing and liquidating their commercial REO properties, selling over 70 REO properties over the course of 3 years.
