Kadoh Swiatkowski Developer

People always ask me: “What’s the best part about being a developer, and what’s your favorite type of project?”

Without a doubt, cottage clusters have my heart and also landscape hotels!

What I love most about development is the creativity of it all. From scouting the perfect lot to designing the layout and hand-picking the finishes, there is nothing like watching my own vision come together.

For me, it’s all about creating intentional, beautiful spaces filled with personality. The world has enough gray and white boxes! I’m not adding to it. 🚫

I love to live in color, and you will always know an Amika Development home by our vibrant choice of tile and textures.

The second best part? The time freedom. I can work from anywhere and on a beautiful, sunny day like today, my “office” is always outdoors. ☀️💻

Thanks for coming, everyone! 🥺 This was a first event and I hope it turns into an annual event. There aren’t many developers who look like me/us, and although I’m still in the early years of my development career, I’m happy to share my knowledge and inspire the next generation of developers.

If it felt like a lot to take in, I hope you remember one thing: you CAN become a real estate developer or investor. You don’t need to be a Realtor. You just need to take action and you absolutely need a mentor to teach and guide you on your first deal. Amika Development offers this service for serious and committed people only.

Realtor friends, if you have a seller with an old home in a good neighborhood like this one or a a corner lot, you know who to call first. 😉

That’s a wrap on Realtist Week! 🏠
The Backyard Legacy Tour was an absolute highlight. Huge thanks to our partner, US Bank, for providing the transportation that made this event possible.

A special thank you to Jess and Antoine for their transparency, sharing the real life mistakes, the wins, and the returns behind their properties was invaluable.

I have so much respect for your journeys. We truly are stronger together, and I’m looking forward to collaborating on a deal soon! 😉

Endless love to the Oregon Realtist community and everyone who helped bring my vision to life. Special S/O to Alisha Sherman for helping me put on this big event!

Demo and appraisal day! 🔨

The appraiser caught me off guard today when he said, “I have a daughter, and it’s nice to see more women developers.” 🥹
There are definitely days where being a woman in this field brings unique challenges, but I truly love being a woman of color developer. Being able to represent what’s possible for the next generation of girls makes every hurdle worth it!

Got land but don’t know what to do with it? Amika Development can help with that.

Amika Development is built on the belief that land can do more for owners, for cities, and for communities. Through strategic land donations and partnerships, we turn underutilized property into thoughtfully built housing. The goal is simple: equal profit partnerships that empower landowners to unlock value without navigating the build process alone. We bring the development expertise, structure, and ex*****on. Together, we create something that benefits everyone.

Happy holidays from your NAREB Oregon Realtist family! 🎄✨

There is nothing like the energy of this group. It’s been a blessing to help organize our events and cover every gathering in prayer this year.

As we look toward 2026, it’s time to be even bolder. Let’s continue to be a beacon for our community, proving that building wealth in real estate is possible for those who look like us.

I’m ready to keep fighting for Democracy in Housing and can’t wait to celebrate our Black and Brown developers, investors, and agents during Realtist Week 2026! More to come on that. If you’re not a member, you’re missing out. Join us! We are stronger and louder together.

Much love to my ladies who keep me balanced & my community. 🖤
