About Our Company
Choosing who you work with should come down to more than a coin toss: Asa Lovejoy and Francis Pettygrove were two of the area’s original settlers. Both men wanted to name the new town after their respective hometowns. To settle the dispute, they flipped a coin. Pettygrove won the coin toss two out of three times, and the town was named Portland after Portland, Maine. If Lovejoy had won, the town would have been named Boston after his hometown in Massachusetts.
Jenny began her real estate career in 1998. Charles followed in 2003 and they joined one of the country’s most recognized real estate franchises. They founded the Turner Team under the umbrella of a franchise in 2010. In 2017 we opened Lovejoy Real Estate, a locally owned independent real estate brokerage. Our main office is in Northwest Portland with satellite offices in Vancouver, Washington and Salem. Our team is more than thirty strong and growing..
