Management Team

Combining a passion for real estate and nearly four decades of legal experience Matthew R. Rasche and his father, Russell P. Rasche, joined forces to create Portfolio Real Estate Brokerage, Inc. to help individuals protect their investments and ultimately yield future returns in today’s turbulent economy.

Together the team has developed sophisticated proprietary financial models to analyze real estate investments which enables them to provide the best information and advice to their clients.

Using their extensive knowledge of the real estate market, Matthew and Russell developed the Portfolio Fractional Ownership Program. They believe it’s not enough to have people trust a broker, but in addition they want to empower their clients, and help them see exactly why they should make a investment decision, and how that investment will benefit them for years to come.
