33-Year Real Estate Veteran Partners with PLACE

By Jacqueline Smith

Jacqueline Smith is dedicated to serving the vibrant Vancouver/Portland real estate market. Since stepping into the industry in 2014, I hit the ground running selling 52 homes in my first year and now have my hand in selling over 1700 properties.

Real estate has changed a lot in 33 years. From handwritten contracts and paper flyers to apps, AI, and instant listings, the industry looks nothing like it did when Brian Combs started, and that’s why he knew it was time to make a change.

For more than three decades, Brian Combs has been a trusted name in Clark County real estate. Many of you have worked with Brian, referred him to friends, or relied on his guidance in buying and selling homes.

Now, Brian is taking an exciting step forward by aligning with Evergreen Real Estate Partners, powered by PLACE.

Why This Partnership Matters

Brian has always believed in putting clients first. But after decades in a constantly evolving industry, he recognized the importance of staying ahead with the technology, systems, and tools of today’s real estate market demands.

“I had to humbly admit I don’t have what it takes on the technology side to keep up with the younger generation. That’s where Jacqueline comes in,” Brian shared.

By joining forces, Brian is combining his deep client relationships and market expertise with Evergreen’s forward-thinking strategies and PLACE’s award-winning PropTech platform.

What Is PLACE?

PLACE is an all-in-one real estate technology platform built to support both agents and consumers. It acts as a support system for Realtors to provide better service for their clients. For homeowners, it means:

● All-in-one services related to buying, selling, and owning a home

● Simplified transactions backed by modern technology

● More streamlined experience for buyers, sellers, and homeowners

For Brian’s clients, it’s the reassurance that every detail of their move is supported by both trusted expertise and world-class systems.

Continuing the Combs Legacy

Brian isn’t making this move alone. His son, Houston Combs, has been licensed for more than four years and is stepping into the family business alongside Evergreen. Together, they’re building on the Combs legacy while helping clients navigate the Clark County real estate market with fresh energy and innovative strategies.
