Excellence Award Session: Farhad Ghafarzade

Choosing Wonder Over worry with Farhad Ghafarzade, Eco-Innovator and Founder of Green Drop Garage

Farhad Ghafarzade, whose foundation in molecular biology fueled his passion for sustainability, revolutionized automotive service with the creation of Green Drop Garage. This B Corporation has become a beacon of business success that aligns with environmental stewardship under his leadership.

Farhad's approach—choosing wonder over worry—has driven the expansion of Green Drop Garage to four locations in Portland, with two more on the horizon in Vancouver. His bold stance on social and political issues, from using his business’s billboard for advocacy to standing firm in community debates even at personal cost, showcases his courage and dedication to making a meaningful impact.

A pivotal "ah ha" moment for Farhad came from an unexpected source: the real estate industry. This revelation has transformed his approach to business, integrating principles that many of you in real estate will find both familiar and potentially revolutionary. As you join us to celebrate Farhad’s receipt of the Excellence Award, we invite you to discover how an insight borrowed from your field has catalyzed innovative practices at Green Drop Garage, hinting that the next big idea in real estate could just as well spring from how Farhad does business.

The event is not formal, conversation and Q&A are encouraged. A fully catered meal will be served at 11:30 am (vegan and GF options available), after which we will present the award promptly at 12:00 pm, followed by a Q&A mastermind session with Farhad.
