4 Degrees Real Estate

What 4 Degrees Real Estate does

4 Degrees Real Estate is a full-service real estate brokerage headquartered at 915 W 2nd Ave in Spokane, Washington, serving the Inland Northwest / Pacific Northwest market. Founded by brothers Jordan and Joel Tampien, the company operates across four service pillars: Residential and Commercial real estate brokerage (buying, selling, investing, leasing), Residential and Multifamily Property Management, and Community engagement. The firm employs 51-100 staff and reported $306 million in sales volume across 755 units in 2024, with broker Jordan Tampien personally credited with over $250 million in career sales.

Revenue is generated through two streams: real estate brokerage commissions on residential and commercial transactions (transaction-fee model), and recurring property management fees collected via monthly rent cycles with owner disbursement on the 10th of each month. The property management operation runs on AppFolio, providing tenants and owners dedicated online portals for rent payment, maintenance requests, and financial reporting. Pricing is negotiated individually rather than publicly disclosed.

In March 2025, the brokerage officially joined eXp Realty's cloud-based brokerage platform, bringing 35 agents to the eXp ecosystem while retaining operational leadership under the Tampien brothers. The company distributes through direct brokerage services from its Spokane headquarters, supported by content marketing (blog, newsletter), organic social (Facebook, Instagram), and third-party credibility signals such as the 2023 Expertise.com Top Real Estate Agent in Spokane recognition. The firm also recruits new agents through a careers portal offering training, mentoring, marketing support, and lead generation events.
