Why Work With Us
At High Desert Realty (formerly Team Birtola High Desert Realty), we’re building on a respected legacy while rebranding into something even stronger — a modern brokerage focused on creating the best place for both clients and agents.
Our vision is simple: to be the ideal environment where agents at every stage of their career can learn, grow, and thrive. Through our High Desert Priority, we’re committed to delivering 5-star experiences not only to the clients we serve, but to the agents who choose to build their careers with us.
Whether you’re brand new to the business, an experienced broker looking for a better fit, or a leader ready to grow something new, we’d love to talk with you.
Our Commitment
Curious
We lead with questions and humility. We assume we can improve, seek feedback, intentionally learn from training, clients, peers, wins & losses, and share what we learn. We test, measure, and adapt rather than defend old habits.
Reliable
We do the work—consistently. Our hard work shows up as on-time responses, accurate files, , and closed deals. We sweat the details, anticipate issues, prevent problems, and own outcomes. If we miss, we fix it fast.
Professional
We uphold our standards in every interaction. We speak directly, tell the truth, and protect relationships and the brand. We read the room, communicate clearly, document agreements, and keep our word—especially when it’s hard.

Why Brasada Ranch
Tucked into the high desert, at the base of Powell Butte, just east of Bend, Brasada Ranch is more than a resort — it’s a lifestyle. Here, wide-open skies meet panoramic Cascade Mountain views, and every detail is designed to help you slow down, recharge, and reconnect. Whether you’re drawn to championship golf, horseback riding through sagebrush, or simply sipping wine while the sun sets in a blaze of Central Oregon colors, Brasada Ranch delivers an experience that feels both refined and deeply rooted in nature.
A day at Brasada Ranch might start with coffee on your cabin porch as the sun rises over the sagebrush. Mornings can mean a trail ride or a round of golf, followed by a farm-fresh lunch. Afternoons bring time at the pool, a spa treatment, or a quiet hike through desert terrain. As evening falls, gather with friends for fireside s’mores or toast the sunset over the Cascades.
This is Central Oregon at its finest: rugged beauty, elevated amenities, and unforgettable moments all in one place.
Unmatched Views
From nearly every angle, you’ll see the Three Sisters, Mt. Bachelor, and sweeping high desert landscapes. It’s a backdrop that inspires adventure by day and awe at sunset.
Space to Spread Out
With more than 1,800 acres, including miles of open trails and protected land, the ranch feels expansive yet intimate. There’s room to roam without losing the sense of community.
Lodging for Every Occasion
Cozy Ranch House suites for couples, spacious cabins for families, and private bungalows for a more secluded retreat — every stay feels tailored.
Award-Winning Golf
The Brasada Canyons course winds through dramatic terrain with elevation changes, mountain panoramas, and a reputation as one of Central Oregon’s premier courses.
Pools & Recreation
Relax in hot tubs with mountain views, splash into family pools with waterslides, or enjoy the quieter adults-only spaces. Year-round fun is built in.
Wellness & Relaxation
Spa Brasada offers treatments inspired by the high desert — massages, facials, and body therapies that help you melt into the pace of the ranch.
Equestrian Adventures
Saddle up at the on-site stables and ride across desert trails. For many, horseback riding here is the most memorable way to take in the landscape.
Farm-to-Table Dining
On-site restaurants highlight fresh, local, seasonal ingredients. From a casual family breakfast to sunset cocktails, dining here celebrates Central Oregon flavors.
Close, Yet Worlds Away
Just 25 minutes from Bend and Redmond, Brasada Ranch feels like a hidden escape without losing the convenience of nearby dining, shopping, and flights.

Director of High Desert Commercial (Founding Role) — Bend, OR
High Desert Realty is launching High Desert Commercial, a dedicated division focused on investment sales, leasing, land, and multifamily. We’re looking for a founding Director to lead this effort, produce deals, and grow a team of professionals under your leadership.
This is an opportunity for someone entrepreneurial who wants to build something new while backed by the strength of an established brand. You’ll work your own book of business, receive referrals and inbound opportunities from our residential office, shape our playbooks, and recruit and mentor future brokers.
We’re seeking an experienced broker who is hardworking, people-savvy, and grounded — someone who communicates clearly, takes ownership, and values the client experience. You’ll have the support you need (transaction coordination, marketing, technology, office space, and market data platforms) plus high splits on self-sourced deals, clear splits on referrals, and growth upside tied to the team you help develop.
If you’re looking for a rare chance to step into a founding leadership role and help build a division from the ground up, we’d love to connect.
Residential Real Estate Broker — Two Track System
We’ve created two clear paths for residential brokers at High Desert Realty:
Team Track → Structured training, mentorship, office-provided leads, and consistent in-office collaboration to accelerate your learning and production. You’ll benefit from a hands-on environment with built-in support so you can focus on developing your skills, building confidence, and closing deals.
Independent Track → High splits, flexible case-by-case contracts, and the ability to build your business your way. Access as much or as little support as you want — TC, marketing, calling/showing assistance, technology packages, mentorship, and more. All while benefiting from the reputation, history, and growing marketing presence of a respected local brand.
Both tracks are built around our High Desert Priority — creating 5-star experiences for clients and agents alike.
Residential Real Estate Broker — Independent Track
Residential Real Estate Broker — Two Track System
“I’ve been with this office for over 20 years, and in that time I’ve seen just about every high and low the real estate market can throw at us. Through it all, this has been the place where I’ve built my career and my reputation.
What’s kept me here isn’t just the deals or the name on the sign — it’s the people, the culture, and the opportunities. There’s always been a sense of support and collaboration that makes this more than just a brokerage.
What excites me most now is the fresh vision with High Desert Realty. After decades in the business, it’s rare to see an office that’s willing to evolve, modernize, and invest in both clients and agents the way this one is.
I’m proud of the career I’ve built here, and I’m even more excited about what’s ahead. Looking back, I’m glad I chose to plant my flag here — and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”
Ken M.
Principal Broker
“Coming into High Desert Realty as a newer agent, I wasn’t sure what to expect. What I found right away was a culture that’s professional but incredibly supportive. The training was a lot — and I mean that in a good way. It gave me the tools and confidence I needed to jump in, and the training hasn’t stopped.
What I appreciate most is how open and approachable everyone is. I can ask a million questions and always feel supported. Thanks to the systems in place, I was able to see success quickly, and that momentum has continued. For new or newer agents, this is a great place to be.”
-Courtnay P., Broker
