Part of our business is helping you reimagine the home you already own. Because sometimes, all it takes is a fresh design to make you fall in love with the space all over again. That's us - Calle and Nicole. As co-founders of Friday and Company, we work directly with every client. That's because we're passionate about our work, each other, and helping create the happiest homes in Portland.

Friday and Company is the real estate and design duo of Calle Holmgren and Nicole Wear. After (literally) bumping into each other while exhibiting our funk on the dance floor at Woody's Wharf, it became painfully obvious we were fated to be best-friend, soul-mate business partners. And so, here we are.
When it comes to selling a home, we don't just stick a sign in the yard and call it good. We lend a hand with all the brushing off and touching up-and on average, get homes sold in as few as five business days. Staging is an important piece of helping a buyer envision life in your space. Here are a few of our favorite before-and-afters to give you an idea of how we'll approach selling your property.
Believe us, we know-few purchases are as overwhelming as buying a home. That's why we kindly take the complexity out of the process, so you can save your indecision for Salt & Straw. With over fourteen years of real estate experience and tens of millions in negotiated sales, we've been around the proverbial block-and we'd love to introduce ourselves.
A whole-house approach gives each room on the main level of this Portland bungalow a cohesive Pacific Northwest twist on Scandinavian style. Creating the best of both worlds; a 30-second commute and a workspace separated from the daily rituals of the home. Every space is darling, even the hallway. Making over this underlooked area creates a distinct transition between the bedroom, newly designed bathroom, and kitchen.
Listen to the ins and outs and ups and downs of "Real Estate Staging", an interview with our very own Nicole Wear. Tour our 1,400 square foot Portland bungalow with Cali-Scandinavian vibes as featured on HGTV. Apartment Therapy featured our "Swedish Bungalow" as a totally adorable DYI - a space we love to live in.

My husband and I are both artists, and I’m a former English professor. Between his records, my books, and our equipment, I didn’t know how we would ever make it out of our house alive. I fully expected someone to find us collapsed under decades of unfiled bills and absurd catalogues. For years we’d managed to find a way to hide the chaos. Well thank the universe, we chose Calle and Nicole as our realtors. They are so kind and grounded, exactly the people you want on your team during one of the most stressful times of life. With their help at every stage (including a great recommendation for

We decided rather impulsively to sell our home and move out of the city. We knew after our initial meeting with Calle that Friday and Company was the team we wanted to work with. What could have been a stressful and overwhelming process turned in to any easy and dare I even say, fun experience. These two amazing people really have something special going on. Nicole is a home design artist (check out her Instagram for the proof) and Calle truly excels at his craft. Calle is charismatic in such a genuine way, no pushy tactics, he really listens and wants to make sure his clients are making a good

Owner/broker Calle and his wife Nicole are the ultimate professionals. Buying and selling real estate is a tough business for both the agents involved and the purchasers/sellers. However, you can be sure that you are in good hands with Calle and Nicole on your side. I have utilized their services both as a buyer and as a seller and I can say with all sincerity that Calle and Nicole thoroughly know the real estate business and the greater Portland real estate market through and through. Most importantly, they will always look out for and will do only what is best for you the client. Calle especially

We got to know Calle and Nicole over a 12 month house search. We had a small geographic target and a long wishlist of what we were searching for in a home. Calle took time to understand our exact preferences and was invested in finding us the perfect fit despite limited inventory in the saturated market. Calle is very likable and we genuinely enjoyed our time walking through homes with him. His knowledge and expertise added great value to the home buying experience and helped us feel comfortable in negotiating our offers. Nicole is Calle’s perfect pair. She has a beautiful design aesthetic and

Nicole and Calle were amazing to work with. They made our home sparkle in a way I didn't know was possible. They were attentive, organized and made us feel like we were in good hands even while we had to leave town before the house was listed. Nicole has an incredible eye for design and Calle provided super valuable advice during the transaction phase. I cannot recommend them enough!

Context:
My wife and I were aspiring first time home buyers when we were referred to Calle at Friday and co. This meant we needed a supportive guide who could answer many questions, would be patient with us, and could be be a real guide navigating us through the crazy Portland housing market.
Outcome of working with Friday and Co:
We got a great house we love at a price we are happy with. If you have been a buyer in Portland recently you know how hard that is to get!

Calle and Nicole are a dream team. They sold and found a house for us during the pandemic. Nicole went the extra mile to not only stage our prior house, but also partner with us to look for our future home. For each home we visited, she came in sharp with ideas on its potential. Aside from Calle’s hair always being 👌🏽during each house hunt, we appreciated his honesty on the littlest details of each home (whether it was positive or negative).
Their little humans are also a great bunch to be around ❤️.

Calle and Nicole went above and beyond our expectations throughout the process of selling our previous house and buying our new one. They took the stress out of the experience for us and we had fun getting to know them throughout our journey. I won't hesitate to recommend Friday and Company to others in the future... they're simply the best!

Working with Calle and Nicole was a genuine pleasure from start to finish. They handled everything and made the process of selling our house enjoyable. Nicole’s eye for design is impeccable, our home had never looked so beautiful as it did after she staged it- there were some rooms I barely recognized! I feel so thankful that we found Friday and Company when we were ready to sell our home!

We feel so lucky to have worked with Nicole and Calle while selling our home in Woodstock. It felt like the perfect match for us from our first call and the entire process felt seamless. For us, we moved across the country in the middle of a pandemic, leaving our keys with Friday and Company, and they took care of absolutely everything. Within days of taking the keys, our home was clean, beautifully staged by Nicole (we want her to design our next home!), and within 48 hours we had offers higher than we thought possible. Being across the country, they reached out if they needed our input and took
