Cliff Hockley and his team have managed the property investments of my family for about thirteen years. I took on the responsibility a few years earlier when my father was no longer capable of doing so. Sadly, he had allowed the properties to decline into a dismal state.

When I started to rehabilitate the properties, I realized that I needed much help.

I had consulted with Cliff until I realized that I needed to utilize his full management services.

Not only did his team immediately organize operations, they also were able to bring rents up to market rate, manage property rehabilitation and upgrade projects utilizing their approved contractors, in a much more efficient manner.

 Cliff and his team helped me analyze our portfolio. Consequently, we were able to utilize 1031 exchanges and refinancing to build our portfolio, acquire large tax savings due to depreciation, and dramatically increase income. 

Our take home income has grown from under $350k per year to about 1.4m.The market value has grown from under 20 million to about 50 million. Also the properties are in dramatically improved condition. Cliff and his associates strive to find opportunities for future growth.

I am so happy with his services and look forward to updating him on my continued success.

I have known and worked with Cliff Hockley for twenty-five years.  Cliff was the CEO of Bluestone and Hockley up until he and his wife sold the real estate services company in 2022.  Cliff built Bluestone and Hockley from a company of 20 people up to its present size of about 90 employees.  As of 2022 Bluestone and Hockley was one of the top 10 real estate services companies in the Portland/Vancouver area.  As of this writing Cliff still works and consults for Bluestone/SVN on the brokerage side of the business. 

 Cliff not only ran Bluestone and Hockley during all the time I have known Cliff but he also helped my cousin and me build our family real estate portfolio from 4 properties to 10 properties over the past 20 years.  Cliff has given us good advice at every step of our growth.  At our family real estate company, we have an unofficial board of directors and Cliff is one of our board members.  Cliff has a wealth of knowledge about real estate having been in the business for over 40 years.  Cliff has written a book on real estate that is case oriented for people who are thinking about buying or are involved with income property.  Cliff also started the Bluestone and Hockley monthly newsletter that focused a different real estate subject every month of the year.  These monthly newsletters have been generated every month for at least 15 years.  Cliff and his management team are using these articles to teach new employees and clients about various aspects of the real estate business. 

One of the things I really admire about Cliff is that he loves to teach others about real estate.  At our family real estate company, we are in the process of training the next generation to take over the reins to run the business when my cousin and I decide to step away.  Cliff has been instrumental in helping us with this next generation planning and education process.  This next generation process is a multi-year undertaking that is still going on and Cliff continues to be involved every step of the way.    Cliff has also taught real estate courses at Portland State University for a number of years.

 Cliff Hockley is a very valuable resource for any area of real estate and I would highly recommend Cliff for real estate brokerage services or any other aspect of real estate consulting.
