Meet Daniel
Helping you find a home worth coming home to.
A home is a feeling, not just an address.
Daniel ChinBorn and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Daniel is proud to call Oregon home. He’s a family man first, and when he’s not working, you’ll find him spending time with his family, looking for a good place to eat, attempting to improve his golf game, or convincing himself he can still hoop.
Real estate has given Daniel the chance to do what he enjoys most: work with people and help them through big moments in their lives. With more than a decade of experience and nearly 300 homes sold, he knows the local market well and works hard to make buying or selling a home feel straightforward and manageable.
Daniel believes good real estate service comes down to being available, communicating clearly, and looking out for his clients from the first conversation through closing. Whether someone is buying their first home, selling, relocating, or taking advantage of the Homes for Heroes program, he wants every client to feel informed and comfortable throughout the process.
Daniel believes a home is a feeling, not just an address. It’s where life happens, memories are made, and you can truly feel at home. Let Daniel help you find a home worth coming home to.
