David Wright is owner and principal broker of RE/MAX PLATINUM in Medford, Oregon. What he loves most about real estate is getting to work with people. Helping people buy, sell, rent or manage property is exciting and challenging. His experience as a Certified Property Manager and Principal Broker has given him the background to understand investment property from both the owner and real estate broker’s perspective.

As a Southern Oregon Native and business owner, he believes in the strength of community and culture and the impact one has on the other. David is a graduate of Oregon State University and Licensed Principal Broker. A solid member of the community, David recently received the prestigious “2015 Realtor of the Year” for Southern Oregon. David actively served as President of Southern Oregon Multiple Listing Service Board, and VP of Medford Jackson County Chamber. In his time away from work, David can be found coaching soccer for his daughters or running the beautiful Rogue Valley hills. An avid marathon racer and co-founder of Southern Oregon’s Rogue Run, a Boston Marathon qualifier race, David’s interest in his community is well-known by his support to dozens of non-profits either in a board capacity or by supporting their fundraising efforts.

He recently completed a 36-year public service career in Oregon, where he served the final eight years as City Manager in Medford.  Prior to this role, Brian was the Parks & Recreation Director for Medford for 12 years and he began his public service career in Woodburn as he served as the Recreation Services Manager.

Brian has completed the John Maxwell Leadership Certification Program and developed two different leadership programs where over 150 Medford City employees participated in their personal and professional growth.  Brian has also provided leadership training for Chick-fil-a, local non-profits, and medical offices.

Throughout his career, Brian has been involved in professional associations such as the Oregon City County Management Association, International City Managers Association, Oregon Parks & Recreation Association, and the Medford Rogue Rotary Board.

Through the Medford 2040 Vision and Action Plan, Brian assisted both Police and Fire Departments to update their strategic plans that included the first staffing increases for these departments in over a decade.

In 2005, he helped establish the Medford Parks and Recreation Foundation, which has since generated over $3 million in property donations, $1 million in park development funding and nearly $400,000 for youth recreation scholarships.

The Portland native received his bachelor’s degree from Warner Pacific College, and he completed a master’s degree in public administration from Golden Gate University in 2002.
