Hi, I’m Tim Playfair
Founder of Playfair Appraising & Certified Residential Appraiser
A proud Portland native, I've been a part of Portland's dynamic real estate community for nearly two decades—but my Pacific Northwest roots stretch back for generations. From grand Craftsman masterpieces to charming starter homes and everything in between, I love getting out into the field, meeting homeowners and agents, and exploring Portland’s rich architectural landscape.
As founder of Playfair Appraising, I’ve cultivated a reputation built on keen attention to detail, ethical integrity, and deep local expertise. I pride myself on staying ahead of market trends and leveraging new technology to deliver appraisals at the highest industry standards. Appraisals play a crucial role in major financial and life decisions, and I approach each one with the care and precision it deserves.
When not nerding out over comparables, I enjoy exploring Portland’s neighborhoods on foot, playing drums, and traveling the world—especially to Hokkaido, Japan, where I lived for five years. I live in NE Portland with my wife, two children, and dogs.
