Meet Your Realtor
Hi, I’m Russ Porter, Managing Broker at John L. Scott’s Bothell office. With over 9 years of experience in real estate and a background as a Financial Analyst, I bring a unique blend of market insight and strategic thinking to every transaction. My specialties include luxury homes, relocation, investment properties, first-time buyers, and listings.
As a Certified Buyer Representation Specialist® and Certified Seller Marketing Specialist®, I’m committed to delivering exceptional service through strong negotiation skills, data-driven market analytics, and clear, consistent communication. My philosophy is rooted in building lasting relationships and supporting the community I serve.
I’m proud to have earned the President’s Award and above for eight consecutive years. Beyond real estate, I’m deeply involved in the Bothell community as a Northshore Rotary Member, NGSSA Board Member, and organizer of the Bothell Tree Lighting Festival.
When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me hiking, gardening, or volunteering. Bothell offers so much to enjoy—explore the scenic Sammamish River Trail, visit the vibrant McMenamins Anderson School, or unwind at Blyth Park. For great dining, check out The Cottage, Beardslee Public House, or Alexa’s Café.
