Our guarantees

Five promises, in writing, in your management agreement

Switching managers or hiring your first one shouldn’t feel like a leap of faith. Here’s exactly what we commit to.

Results Guarantee

No management fee until rent is collected

Our 8% is charged on rent we actually collect. If the rent doesn’t come in, you don’t pay us.

Cancel Anytime Guarantee

Leave with 30 days’ notice, no termination fee

No 12-month lock-in. We keep owners by doing the job well, not with a contract.

Tenant Placement Guarantee

If a tenant we place leaves within 9 months, we re-lease free

No second placement fee. Owner-initiated terminations are excluded.

Easy Switch Guarantee

We run the handover and credit your exit fee

We work with your current manager on the transfer, and credit their exit fee against your first month.

One Business Day Guarantee

A real reply within one business day

From Steven or Kolby, not an auto-responder. Emergencies are handled 24/7.

Read the full terms before you sign anything.

We send our actual management agreement with your rental analysis, not after you’ve committed.

Owner reviews

What owners say about working with us

★★★★★
“They thoroughly explained the process of getting our property ready for renting, arranging for any needed services, and were accurate with the cost estimate… We were able to get a qualified tenant into our property in just a couple of weeks.”
Jill Johnson
Central Oregon property owner
★★★★★
“As new real estate investors in Central Oregon, we had a lot of questions… He provided detailed rental analyses, helped us understand what remodels would add the most value and increase rental income.”
Jackson Stall
Real estate investor
★★★★★
“I was thinking about renting my property but knew very little about how the numbers play out. Kolby… created a quantitative report showing analysis of all of my options, and didn’t try to persuade me one way or the other.”
Kyle Bodnyk
Homeowner
Steven Kaufman and Kolby Knickerbocker, co-owners of Legacy Property Management, which manages long-term rentals in Bend, Redmond, and Sisters, Oregon

FAQs

Questions owners ask before they call

Don’t see yours? Call (541) 508-5815 and you’ll talk to an owner.

How much does property management cost?

Our monthly management fee is 8% of rent collected, and tenant placement is 50% of the first month’s rent. You’ll get the full fee schedule with your rental analysis.

Can I cancel if it isn’t working?

Yes. Give 30 days’ written notice and there’s no termination fee. That’s our Cancel Anytime Guarantee, and it’s written into the agreement.

How do you set the rent for my home?

From live MLSCO and rental comps close to your property, adjusted for condition, features and season. The goal is the strongest rent that still leases quickly.

Can I switch from my current manager?

Yes. We coordinate the handover, honor existing leases as written, and credit your old manager’s exit fee against your first month.

I live out of state. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Many of our owners live elsewhere. You’ll have a real-time owner dashboard and direct phone, text and email access to us.

How do you screen tenants?

Verified income at 3× rent, credit, eviction and prior-landlord checks, applied identically to every applicant under Oregon and federal Fair Housing law.

How are repairs handled?

Licensed, insured local vendors. You approve non-emergency work before it starts. Emergencies are handled right away to protect the home, then you’re notified.

Do you manage short-term rentals?

No. We focus on long-term rentals. If you’re converting a short-term rental to long-term, we can help you run the numbers.
