Company History
Bluestone & Hockley began in 1972 when Sid Bluestone, along with his wife Sylvia, established the firm of S. Bluestone Realty. In 1987, the firm was purchased by Sid and Sylvia’s daughter, Julie and her husband Cliff Hockley, who then established Bluestone & Hockley Real Estate Services as a full-service real estate company operating in the Pacific Northwest, with offices in Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA.
Since 1987, the company has expanded its residential management division and established a strong commercial division focusing on the sale, leasing, and management of commercial properties. In approximately 1998, Bluestone & Hockley founded their Community Management Department, which manages Condominium Associations and Homeowner Associations. Today Bluestone & Hockley is a major player in the Portland real estate market with over 6,000 units and over 1,250,000 sq.ft. under management.
The Portland Business Journal has ranked Bluestone & Hockley one of the top 10 largest commercial brokerage firms in the area. Yet, we are small enough that we have not forgotten the values of professional service and trustworthy attention to the properties in our care, which have guided us through more than thirty successful years of service.
