About Portland City Properties

Meet Christy MacColl and Carrie Gross—a sister team with more than 25 years of combined Portland-metro know-how. Born and raised in the Rose City, they’ve watched trends unfold in every neighborhood, from the food carts of SE to the galleries of NW and they know exactly where to find your perfect home.

When they’re not turning market data into winning offers, you’ll catch them chasing sunsets over Mt. Hood, sampling pinot in the Willamette Valley, or hiking the Columbia River Gorge. Christy and Carrie's precision negotiation skills, market knowledge and flair for creative marketing come together to help every client achieve their real estate goals.

Christy MacColl’s journey from Lincoln High standout to Portland real estate powerhouse reads like a true Pacific Northwest success story. After crossing the finish line as a Division I Track & Field scholar-athlete at Stanford—where she balanced rigorous training and earned Pac-10 All-Academic honors all four years—she parlayed her sharp business instincts into a marketing leadership role at Danner and LaCrosse Footwear. In 2007, Christy joined forces with her mother, Claudia McNeil, ascending a family legacy into one of Portland’s most trusted real estate practices. When she isn’t negotiating deals, you’ll find Christy sideline cheering at her kids’ sports matches, sampling the next big spot in Portland’s ever-evolving food scene, or lacing up hiking boots for a Gorge adventure.
