Katina D.:

Robert R.:
“I have inspected several homes for Katrena's clients. It is clear to me that she has the client's interests at heart, asking pertinent questions about the house and entries in the Inspection Report. For example, while some agents try to play down some defects, Katrena makes sure the client understands the implications of the defect if it is not immediately clear.
I have no hesitation in recommending Katrena to a prospective home buyer .”
Laura S.:
“I've known Deb for over 20 years and I have always admired her professionalism and integrity.
Her passion in the Resl Estate industry shows with every client she works with.
Thank you Deb!”
Elizabeth L.:
“I met Debra a number of years ago and was completely wowed by her knowledge. She is a seasoned professional who puts the needs and wants of her clients first.

She ensured a smooth process in all paperwork from sale to closing. The last transaction was the sale of a house in an estate sale. She arranged assistance in the process of the estate sale for not only the residential property but also the sale of personal household goods.
I would gladly recommend Debra to anyone in need of a truly professional real estate agent whether buying or selling a property.”
Janelle B.:
“Debra Katrena is not only a dear friend but is someone who has great ethics and a strong personal drive to get any job done. I highly recommend her.”

Dawn D.:
“We worked with Debra on the purchase of 2 houses and I have recommended her with the highest regard to all of our friends and family. Debra went out of her way to assist us, to the point of going on midnight runs looking for houses to convenience our schedule. My only regret is that I didn't use her services to sell my house.”
Stacy D.:
“Debra and I have worked together for 6 years now. She is such a delight! Debra is a very caring person and pays attention to the details.

The Rule of Relaxing also known as The Rule of Taking it Easy. Written by Brandon Katrena
The Man said to a Woman, “It is going too Fast.” And The Woman replied, “Pardon Me?” And The Man replied, “Many things in the World are Going too Fast, and too Hard, and there will probably be a Big Metaphorical Burn Out, and, as History shows, one Extreme oftentimes leads to another Extreme. And Many Things are Too Much, and there is also Too Much departing from Good Traditions and Common Sense. As a Look around The World indicates, The Pace is Not Good. And The Pace is Bad.”
The Future’s Heartfelt Wish
Written by Brandon Katrena
This is called “Real Economics (RE)”: The Future said to a Fellow Human, “Why don’t You chop down more Trees to make more Paper for Money to pay for Things, such as Space Ships? Wait a second. You don’t even need to do that, as Space Ships are often basically just Metals and Electronics. And Homes are often basically just Wood and Electronics. And Clothes are often basically just Cotton and Dye. It looks as though Money is often Not Really needed for Many Things. And it looks as though Capital is often Not Really needed for Many Things. Although We have been told otherwise.”
In one of My Writings, The Man said, “We have God-Given Rights. And We have Natural Rights. And We have Rights. And We are Free. And We are a Free People. And We have Freedoms. And We have The Freedom of Speech. And We have The Freedom of Religion. And We have The Right to Criticize. And We have The Right to engage in Constructive Criticism. And We have The Right to Not Accept Everything. And We have The Right to have Opinions. And We have The Right to have Our Opinions. And We have Freedom.”

Some of My Letters of Recommendation:
From Professor Robert L.:
“Brandon Katrena is a student with outstanding growth potential and leadership abilities. These attributes are exemplified by his academic record and his holding of various student offices. He is highly self-motivated and energetic. I recommend him without reservation.”
From Professor Sue L.:
“Brandon Katrena is a highly motivated and intelligent young man. He brings to the study of history a well-rounded background of information about a variety of subjects. His ability to analyze material at a sophisticated level is outstanding. Brandon appears to be highly motivated and to master new material easily. He is an excellent student.”
From Professor William D.:
“Brandon Katrena is a bright young man whose academic skills are very strong. He was a student two years ago in my section of our core program for first year students, and in that class he demonstrated that he is capable of reading demanding material (for example, Plato’s Republic) carefully, thoughtfully and with good understanding. [The Dr./Professor underlined the word "Republic".] He is also able to bring his understanding to the classroom as a participant in discussion. His contributions were consistently germane to our work as a class, and he also listened reflectively to the comments of his peers. Above all, Mr. Katrena writes very well. His papers were well organized and demonstrated mastery of the reading material. He was one of the two strongest students in a class of sixteen first year students.
Mr. Katrena is also a fine young man, consistently pleasant and polite in manner. He is disciplined and works very hard as a student, is responsible and honest, and has begun to show signs of leadership on the Willamette campus by participating in student government.
Please feel free to contact me, should you desire further information.”
Here are Some of My Letters of Recommendation:
From Professor Kevin F.:
“December 27, 2001
To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to write on behalf of Brandon Katrena. He was in my Introductory Macroeconomics class this last fall, where he received an A. Brandon was a delightful student to have in class. He was well prepared and continually added valuable contributions to classroom discussions. He is well organized and a hard worker. He possesses an analytical mind and is very thorough in his approach to course material. He often came to office hours just to make sure that he understood the chain of logic presented in class. Brandon strikes me as one who is making good use [of] his time in college and who will make good use of his college education once he has finished.
Sincerely,
Kevin [F.]
Assistant Professor of Economics”
From High School Teacher Zita P.:
“March 12, 1999
RE: Letter of Recommendation for Brandon Katrena
It gives me great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Brandon Katrena. I have known Brandon for about two-and-a-half years. Brandon is a thoughtful and very intelligent young man who is very interested in social issues. He is a quick learner and goes that ‘extra mile’ on his assignments.
In the time I have known Brandon, he has shared information about his interests and classes he takes at PCC. He is involved in various student activities/organizations at Cleveland High School and is willing to take on leadership roles in those organizations.
Brandon will spend that extra time researching topics and thinking about issues that impact society; he makes sure his topics have adequate breadth and depth before he presents his information. I can easily picture Brandon, several years from now, holding a leadership position in government.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at Cleveland High School, [the phone number is given].
Sincerely,
Zita [P.]
Computer teacher/Coordinator
Cleveland High School”
From Professor Francoise G. R.:
“January 4, 2002
To Whom It May Concern:
I have known Brandon since the beginning of his freshman year at Willamette as a student in several French courses. Brandon is a joy to have in class: he works very hard and is conscientious about assignments to a fault. He is also highly motivated, energetic, and determined. His academic record is excellent with a cum[ulative] GPA of 3.9, which certainly speaks to his overall intellectual ability and academic motivation.
Although Brandon has declared a major in history, he is very enthusiastic about French language and culture. He has played a leadership role in student government and as President of the French Club that he created last semester. Thanks to his efforts, his fellow students will have access to a number of co-curricular activities which would not have occurred without Brandon’s hard work and initiative. I really cannot say enough positive things about Brandon.
In short, I think that Brandon is a very strong candidate for a scholarship. I recommend him very highly.
Francoise [G.R.]
Professor of French”
From Professor Jeff E.
“To whom it may concern
Re: Brandon Katrena
Brandon was a student of mine in the following class:
BA 242 Introduction to Investments
The course is a rigorous exploration of the theory of investments, investment strategy and opportunities. There is a good deal of quantitative analysis and I require student[s] to complete, as a term project, a very sophisticated evaluation of real companies using classic fundamental analysis techniques.
Brandon was, in all respects, an outstanding student. He was always prepared, as evidenced by his ability to respond thoughtfully to questions posed in class. His assignments were completed on time and the quality and thoroughness of his work was excellent. At the end of the term Brandon had earned the highest total score given to any student during the three years I have been teaching this class.
I am not at all surprised to learn that Brandon has continued his academic excellence at the next level. He is very deserving of any type of scholarship, grant or award for which he might apply.
Best regards,
Jeff [E.]
Instructor – Business Administration
Portland Community College”
From Professor DeLyse [T.]
“Subject: Brandon Katrena
I recently had the pleasure of having Brandon in my Computers in Business class at PCC. In this class, Brandon demonstrated intellectual curiosity and commitment. He consistently attended class and asked thoughtful questions that indicated that he had not only done the reading, but also had been thinking about the material. He was eager, responsible and thorough in completing lab work.
Furthermore, Brandon has good communication and interpersonal skills. He is personable and gets along well with others in the class.
Business in Computers is a beginning level class and Brandon’s capability is unknown at this point, however in the next decades, Brandon has the potential to make a substantial contribution in the burgeoning computer field.
Sincerely,
DeLyse [T.]
Business Administration & Computer Information Systems Instructor
Portland Community College”
From a Fellow College Student, Jacen [G. P.]:
“Willamette University
February 23, 2003
I had the pleasure of meeting Brandon Katrena during the beginning of my freshman year at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. His outstanding academic potential was demonstrated with the ease and swiftness with which Brandon absorbed and understood complex materials and source documents presented in the classes we took together. As Senator for the Associated Students of Willamette University and founder of the school’s French Club, Brandon participated in and enriched the student community in a way that all students should, but seldom do. His prose skills are revealed in his writings and experience as Copy-Editor for the Bridge newspaper, some indication of his delight in the subtle complexities of written works in both English and French.
Like his academic achievements, Brandon’s volunteer work with UNICEF and Race for the Cure are commendable, and yet also serve as indications of his deeper character. There is an important and honorable distinction between those who participate and serve the communities they find themselves part of and those who are merely present. Brandon’s character is revealed best not in his commitment to academics, scholarly pursuits, or volunteerism, but the confluence of all three within a single individual. I wish that Brandon had remained longer at Willamette, but his transfer was the right thing to do for someone who was looking for a more engrossing education. And that, after all, is the best indicator of an outstanding character: the will to constantly better oneself by embracing transformative opportunities and challenges.
Jacen [G. P.]”
Here is another of Mom’s Letter of Recommendation:
From Cheri P.:
“Debra Katrena was such a pleasure to work with. She went the extra mile in helping us find just the right home. She is up beat, professional, and always there when we we needed her. If we are ever in the market again to buy a home, We will definitely be giving Debra a call.”

The Afternoon’s (Little) Deluge
Written by Brandon Katrena
At first it was Sunny in The Park.
Our Dogs and We are Having Fun.
And We are still having Fun, even though it begins to Rain.
Fresh Mud Painted Our shoes as We make Our way to Our car.
Another Rainy Day in Oregon.
And Maybe in Washington State too.
A Rainbow Soon Dots the Sky. Father God’s Promise Expressed Long Ago.

You don’t even need to do that, as Space Ships are often basically just Metals and Electronics. And Homes are often basically just Wood and Electronics. And Clothes are often basically just Cotton and Dye. It looks as though Money is often Not Really needed for Many Things. And it looks as though Capital is often Not Really needed for Many Things.

Some of My Letters of Recommendation:
From Professor Robert L.:
“Brandon Katrena is a student with outstanding growth potential and leadership abilities. These attributes are exemplified by his academic record and his holding of various student offices. He is highly self-motivated and energetic. I recommend him without reservation.”
From Professor Sue L.:
“Brandon Katrena is a highly motivated and intelligent young man. He brings to the study of history a well-rounded background of information about a variety of subjects. His ability to analyze material at a sophisticated level is outstanding. Brandon appears to be highly motivated and to master new material easily. He is an excellent student.”
From Professor William D.:
“Brandon Katrena is a bright young man whose academic skills are very strong. He was a student two years ago in my section of our core program for first year students, and in that class he demonstrated that he is capable of reading demanding material (for example, Plato’s Republic) carefully, thoughtfully and with good understanding. [The Dr./Professor underlined the word "Republic".] He is also able to bring his understanding to the classroom as a participant in discussion. His contributions were consistently germane to our work as a class, and he also listened reflectively to the comments of his peers. Above all, Mr. Katrena writes very well. His papers were well organized and demonstrated mastery of the reading material. He was one of the two strongest students in a class of sixteen first year students.
Mr. Katrena is also a fine young man, consistently pleasant and polite in manner. He is disciplined and works very hard as a student, is responsible and honest, and has begun to show signs of leadership on the Willamette campus by participating in student government.
Please feel free to contact me, should you desire further information.”
Here are Some of My Letters of Recommendation:
From Professor Kevin F.:
“December 27, 2001
To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to write on behalf of Brandon Katrena. He was in my Introductory Macroeconomics class this last fall, where he received an A. Brandon was a delightful student to have in class. He was well prepared and continually added valuable contributions to classroom discussions. He is well organized and a hard worker. He possesses an analytical mind and is very thorough in his approach to course material. He often came to office hours just to make sure that he understood the chain of logic presented in class. Brandon strikes me as one who is making good use [of] his time in college and who will make good use of his college education once he has finished.
Sincerely,
Kevin [F.]
Assistant Professor of Economics”
From High School Teacher Zita P.:
“March 12, 1999
RE: Letter of Recommendation for Brandon Katrena
It gives me great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Brandon Katrena. I have known Brandon for about two-and-a-half years. Brandon is a thoughtful and very intelligent young man who is very interested in social issues. He is a quick learner and goes that ‘extra mile’ on his assignments.
In the time I have known Brandon, he has shared information about his interests and classes he takes at PCC. He is involved in various student activities/organizations at Cleveland High School and is willing to take on leadership roles in those organizations.
Brandon will spend that extra time researching topics and thinking about issues that impact society; he makes sure his topics have adequate breadth and depth before he presents his information. I can easily picture Brandon, several years from now, holding a leadership position in government.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at Cleveland High School, [the phone number is given].
Sincerely,
Zita [P.]
Computer teacher/Coordinator
Cleveland High School”
From Professor Francoise G. R.:
“January 4, 2002
To Whom It May Concern:
I have known Brandon since the beginning of his freshman year at Willamette as a student in several French courses. Brandon is a joy to have in class: he works very hard and is conscientious about assignments to a fault. He is also highly motivated, energetic, and determined. His academic record is excellent with a cum[ulative] GPA of 3.9, which certainly speaks to his overall intellectual ability and academic motivation.
Although Brandon has declared a major in history, he is very enthusiastic about French language and culture. He has played a leadership role in student government and as President of the French Club that he created last semester. Thanks to his efforts, his fellow students will have access to a number of co-curricular activities which would not have occurred without Brandon’s hard work and initiative. I really cannot say enough positive things about Brandon.
In short, I think that Brandon is a very strong candidate for a scholarship. I recommend him very highly.
Francoise [G.R.]
Professor of French”
From Professor Jeff E.
“To whom it may concern
Re: Brandon Katrena
Brandon was a student of mine in the following class:
BA 242 Introduction to Investments
The course is a rigorous exploration of the theory of investments, investment strategy and opportunities. There is a good deal of quantitative analysis and I require student[s] to complete, as a term project, a very sophisticated evaluation of real companies using classic fundamental analysis techniques.
Brandon was, in all respects, an outstanding student. He was always prepared, as evidenced by his ability to respond thoughtfully to questions posed in class. His assignments were completed on time and the quality and thoroughness of his work was excellent. At the end of the term Brandon had earned the highest total score given to any student during the three years I have been teaching this class.
I am not at all surprised to learn that Brandon has continued his academic excellence at the next level. He is very deserving of any type of scholarship, grant or award for which he might apply.
Best regards,
Jeff [E.]
Instructor – Business Administration
Portland Community College”
From Professor DeLyse [T.]
“Subject: Brandon Katrena
I recently had the pleasure of having Brandon in my Computers in Business class at PCC. In this class, Brandon demonstrated intellectual curiosity and commitment. He consistently attended class and asked thoughtful questions that indicated that he had not only done the reading, but also had been thinking about the material. He was eager, responsible and thorough in completing lab work.
Furthermore, Brandon has good communication and interpersonal skills. He is personable and gets along well with others in the class.
Business in Computers is a beginning level class and Brandon’s capability is unknown at this point, however in the next decades, Brandon has the potential to make a substantial contribution in the burgeoning computer field.
Sincerely,
DeLyse [T.]
Business Administration & Computer Information Systems Instructor
Portland Community College”
From a Fellow College Student, Jacen [G. P.]:
“Willamette University
February 23, 2003
I had the pleasure of meeting Brandon Katrena during the beginning of my freshman year at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. His outstanding academic potential was demonstrated with the ease and swiftness with which Brandon absorbed and understood complex materials and source documents presented in the classes we took together. As Senator for the Associated Students of Willamette University and founder of the school’s French Club, Brandon participated in and enriched the student community in a way that all students should, but seldom do. His prose skills are revealed in his writings and experience as Copy-Editor for the Bridge newspaper, some indication of his delight in the subtle complexities of written works in both English and French.
Like his academic achievements, Brandon’s volunteer work with UNICEF and Race for the Cure are commendable, and yet also serve as indications of his deeper character. There is an important and honorable distinction between those who participate and serve the communities they find themselves part of and those who are merely present. Brandon’s character is revealed best not in his commitment to academics, scholarly pursuits, or volunteerism, but the confluence of all three within a single individual. I wish that Brandon had remained longer at Willamette, but his transfer was the right thing to do for someone who was looking for a more engrossing education. And that, after all, is the best indicator of an outstanding character: the will to constantly better oneself by embracing transformative opportunities and challenges.
Jacen [G. P.]”
Here is another of Mom’s Letter of Recommendation:
From Cheri P.:
“Debra Katrena was such a pleasure to work with. She went the extra mile in helping us find just the right home. She is up beat, professional, and always there when we we needed her. If we are ever in the market again to buy a home, We will definitely be giving Debra a call.”
