Salem, Oregon Realtor
Salem, Oregon – Real Estate with Heart by Marty Fulford
As someone who grew up in military towns from Alaska to Turkey to Florida—and primarily in the neighborhoods of Virginia—I know what it’s like to move often and still crave that feeling of home. That’s why I love working in places like Salem. With its mix of historic charm, great schools, and tight-knit communities, it reminds me of the neighborhoods I grew up in—places where you knew your neighbors, walked to school, and watched high school sports on Friday nights.
Salem isn’t just Oregon’s capital—it’s a city full of life, history, and opportunity. From the golden dome of the Oregon State Capitol to the charm of downtown’s boutique shops and locally owned cafes, Salem is where government meets gardens, and history blends with hope.

My Salem Tidbit
“I’ve shown homes near Straub Middle School right after watching my son’s basketball game in that same gym. That’s the kind of connection I love helping my clients find—home isn’t just a house, it’s your community.”
