About us

Vetiver Street was born from a shared belief that real estate deserves the same creativity, care, and strategy as any great brand or story.

With decades of combined experience across design, marketing, storytelling, and sales, our team came together to reimagine what a real estate agency could be: one rooted in purpose, guided by aesthetics, and powered by people.

Vetiver Street was founded by a team with deep roots in design, marketing, and storytelling. Deb Kemp spent decades leading brand strategy across global industries—from telecommunications and FMCGs to wine and apparel—before building a top-producing real estate career in Portland and launching Vetiver Street in 2024. Molly King, a seasoned creative producer and co-director of QDoc (the world’s only LGBTQ+ documentary film festival), brings a background in music, media, and brand to shape story-driven, design-forward campaigns that center people and place. Jeff Pidgeon, a longtime creative director with experience at Williams-Sonoma, Martha Stewart, Ziba, and more, leads Vetiver Street’s brand and visual identity with the belief that every home has a story—and deserves to be presented with the same emotional clarity and creative care as the world’s most resonant brands. Together, we’re building a real estate agency where presentation is purposeful, stories are told with heart, and design leads the way.
