Egads, over 10 inches of rain, Feb 2017! All time rain record. Which led to an all time record for plugged and overloaded gutters, leaky basements, a sink hole, flat out water just getting everywhere. Our maintenance crews in our property management division working hard to contain it all, and they have really done a […]
While I do not know every cause of the current “housing crises” in Portland, and certainly do not have all of the answers, I have seen a contributing factor during my day-to-day life as Realtor, property manager, and construction manager. The effect that deferred maintenance and landlords that are unwilling (or perhaps in some cases […]
I just read an interesting article, proffered by a national real estate franchise operation. I continue to marvel at the length of experts in the field of property management, who have view points that just don’t add up. Let me explain about this one…………so what the author suggests is that professional property managers are […]
In any given moment, I believe and feel I’m in good order. Of clear mind and spririt. A ton of happy tenants, happy clients, and all things happy. But alas, I’m a realist, this is not truly the case some of the time. In truth, I’ve got at least one or two tenants, at my […]
> The more I travel, the more I marvel at the quality of life Portland, OR offers.

News flash……..Portland is groovy, but wait……so is Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego…….. Rents are going up, and fast, everywhere. Rents have always been super high in SF, and all those cities besides, well above Portland rents across the board.

I like trees. OK, I love them. We need them. They need us. They breath. We breath. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide is how I think it goes…….not sure, I’m a real estate guy, not a scientist……I’ve long thought of them, just like us, all shapes, all sizes. Just like people……..did I say that already? And […]
Not much really can move me in property management concerns. I’ve seen and heard just about all I can ever imagine…..until I walked thru a property last week. And this is a new one for sure, top 10, top notch, best of 5, almost numero uno…….ok, I hope by now you get it…….this is ground […]
