Drew's Journey: The Drive Behind the Realtor

Through a shift in perspective, I began a journey that led me to adventures I never expected. Inspired by David Goggins’ book Can’t Hurt Me, I decided to channel the work ethic passed down from my family into running my first endurance race. That decision not only changed my approach to challenges but also reshaped how I live and work every day.

My family are some of the toughest and most inspiring leaders I know. At 10 years old, I had my first job helping my grandfather log his property, learning the value of grit and determination. From my grandparents to my parents and siblings, I’ve witnessed sacrifices made for our family—overcoming health issues, working physically demanding jobs, and balancing multiple responsibilities.

Growing up, my father would often ask, “If you’re going to do it, why can’t you be the best at it?” While that mindset drove me to excel, it also led to struggles with perfectionism and burnout. In college, I hit a turning point: I realized I needed to prioritize my own well-being before I could truly give my best to others.

After college, I met my best friend and partner, Letty, who has been a cornerstone of my growth. Together, we’ve built a vision for our future that centers on family, resilience, and meaningful work.

Inspired by Goggins, I trained for nine months to run a 52-mile race. It wasn’t easy. I hit a wall during my first marathon, but that experience redefined my training and prepared me for the challenge. Crossing the finish line of my 52-miler taught me the value of embracing discomfort and pushing past self-imposed limits. It wasn’t about the race—it was about discovering what I was capable of.

That lesson shaped my career path. I explored roles in pastoral leadership and athletic coaching but found my true calling in real estate. As a REALTOR®, I get to coach clients through big life transitions, combining my passion for service with my drive to achieve results.

In 2024, I founded Walters Home Group to expand that mission. My goal is to help families and individuals achieve their real estate dreams, navigating the process with clarity, persistence, and care.

Beyond Real Estate

Outside of work, you’ll find me bow hunting, hiking, fishing, training for endurance races, or spending time with loved ones. My passion for running mirrors my approach to real estate—dedicated, disciplined, and focused on the journey as much as the destination.

When you work with me, my priority is understanding your goals and guiding you to success. I’ll listen, strategize, and work relentlessly to achieve the best outcome for you. Licensed in Oregon and Washington, I bring local expertise and a commitment to lifelong service as your REALTOR®.

Let’s take the first step together.

Sincerely,
Drew Walters
