Patricia Sprague Principal Broker/Owner

I moved to Ashland in 1975, and was captured by its beauty.  I became a Realtor in 1977 and opened my own company in 1987.  My husband David joined me in 1989.  We are co owners and principal brokers of Patricia Sprague Real Estate.

 

When I started my company I did not realize I would still be in real estate this long.  But the truth is I still love it, and what I love the most about real estate is the people I meet and work with.  For most people real estate is the biggest investment they will make in a lifetime, and the saying “Home Sweet Home” is still true, especially now in these times.

 

For me there is nothing more wonderful than seeing the happiness when one finds the home they love, or the excitement when someone finds a great investment, as well as when they sell, and anticipating a new future.

 

The other joy I find in real estate are the people that work with us in our company. We are like a small family and they have the values and integrity that is so important to me for our company. Some of our agents started out as my clients. And some have been with us for over 20 years, it is always a pleasure to come to the office and see their friendly faces.

 

This is a very challenging time.  When I first got into real estate the interest rate was 19%.  That was also challenging.  And now more then ever it is important to be able to give as much professionalism as well as caring for every client, and hopefully have their experience in purchasing or selling, be as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

 

When a customer comes through our door, I feel it is a great honor, and I appreciate the business they bring to our office.

  Patricia and David are blessed with a loving family of 4 children.

 Charlotte Carlsen

 Broker

I’ve lived my whole life in the West, born in Nevada, raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, then to the Rogue Valley in 1989. As a real estate broker with Patricia Sprague Real Estate since 1995, I’ve developed an appreciation for Oregon’s unique land use planning  system.  My husband, daughter and   I have lived on rural land since moving here; I understand the challenges of living with a well, a septic system, cows, horses, sheep, goats and chickens, and various rural neighbors. I’m lucky to live in Oregon because I love to hike, swim, and camp-all are possibilities within an hour’s drive of Ashland.  Last but not least, I’m a gardener.  I have a degree in horticulture and guarantee free landscape advice with every purchase!

Kathryn Gimbel

 Broker

Kathryn Gimbel is originally from Southern California where she grew up living on the coast. She received a master’s degree in business in 1987 and bought her first home in Topanga Canyon that same year. Two years later in 1989 just as the market began to crash she sold her home for more than double what she originally paid for it…… and thus began the dream of investing in real estate.

  She also had another dream…. of living on the Islands and getting in touch with a more natural world than the one she grew up in - and in 1989 with her Artist husband Sam Gimbel moved to the Big Island of Hawaii where they lived for 10 years raising their 2 sons Hunter and River. They chose their home in a very small community on the slopes of Mauna Kea called Ahualoa just above Honokaa. They grew organic vegetables, lived in a solar and wind generated 20,000 gallon redwood water tank from Maui converted into - believe it or not… a beautiful Redwood  home which was featured in Utne Reader and Whole Earth Catalog in the early 70’s because of it’s uniqueness, to the time, for solar and rain water catchment systems.  The vast ocean lay in front of them while Mauna Kea watched over and protected them from behind. There Kathryn received her second master’s degree in Oriental medicine and worked as a healer and also continued to have a high degree of success helping friends and family invest in real estate there also. When it was time to move from Hawaii Kathryn very successfully sold their own home to J. Paul Getty III.

  In Hawaii, Ashland has an almost mythic reputation for being a part of the ring of fire in the great Northwest. The incredible volcanic fern forests, the pristine Smith River and the pristine lakes and pools of water in the Sky Lakes Wilderness Area, for the redwood forests and the ocean and for the world class Oregon Shakespeare Theater and for all the other wonders of nature to be found here… endless hiking, snow skiing, mountain biking and river rafting. Kathryn and her family packed there bags for Ashland, what she now calls her home. Kathryn and her family feels an incredible since of belonging in this culturally rich environment with the many different play houses, great art scene, fantastic musicians, restaurants and of course the counter-culture that exist here also.

  Kathryn has been officially working as a Real Estate Broker in Ashland since June of 2005 and continues to love the challenge of not only helping others in the buying and selling of real estate but in, “finding their special place in this area where they can grow roots and wings” and also for what she finds extremely exciting…. “Helping people invest in their future.” She can also help you with your healing needs.

FRANK DALZIEL

 Broker

I'm an Oregonian born and raised. I grew up in Myrtle Creek, Oregon on the South Umpqua River. I moved to beautiful Ashland, Oregon in 1988 to attend the university after living for one year in Bremen, Germany. I immediately fell in love with Ashland as soon as I drove into town and knew that I belonged here. I worked as a popular bartender for several restaurants downtown and was voted by Ashland's Sneak Preview magazine as "Favorite Bartender" in 2002. I have been a Realtor since 1999 and absolutely love my job. I have served as an Advisory Director for the Southern Oregon Multiple Listing Service since 2003. In 2005 I was voted again by the Sneak Preview as one of the "Top Ten Hardest Working Realtors" in Ashland. An honor I truly value! I have been with Patricia Sprague Real Estate since December 2005 and couldn't love my office more. Great people and wonderful energy define this office. 
In my free time I enjoy all of the things that Ashland has to offer. Great food, galleries, shops, parks, mountain trails, and of course the Shakespearean Theater. Outdoor recreation activities include mountain biking, hiking, rafting, camping, and frisbee golf. 
I'm a free spirit and a hard worker. I enjoy working with people to find them the home of their dreams or second homes/investment property. Let me help you with all of your Real Estate needs. Whether buying or selling a property, I will help you have the most qualified and stress free experience with a smile.
