Our proactive approach to maintenance prevents small issues from becoming costly problems. For large projects, we secure multiple bids to ensure the best quality at the best price. We strive to create win-win outcomes for owners and tenants. Our ultimate goal is to deliver value that more than justifies the cost of our services.

Owning residential or commercial rentals in La Pine can be a great investment. Although it’s a small, it’s one of the fastest growing towns in Oregon. But even with solid rental demand, staying profitable requires more than simply securing tenants. A proven management plan is essential to maximize your long-term returns.
Extensive experience working with contractors. We always receive at least three bids on any work being done. Our industry experience vetting contractors allows to avoid common pitfalls.
Smart rent increases. We closely monitor occupancy and comparable rental rates to ensure we’re priced appropriately to get the most out of your investment. Balancing turnover against rent increases is difficult, but vital to ensuring a well managed building.
Well managed buildings. Managing dozens of our own buildings has shown us the value in upkeep. It is far more cost effective to take care of small repairs and issues when they arise than to let them spiral into larger, more costly problems.
Monitoring The Central Oregon Market. This goes hand in hand with rent increases. We keep a close eye on current market conditions, this helps us understand when we should increase rent and when we should be more conservative.
We offer expert residential and multi-family property management services. Whether you own a single home or a multi-unit portfolio, our experienced team works closely with you to optimize performance and protect your investment.
