We had the pleasure of working with Kolby at Legacy PM. He took over after we were already moved into our home. The transition from one property management to the other was seamless and pleasant. Kolby was very attentive and easy to work with. During the move out process, he set clear and attainable expectations. He was easy to communicate with and always made himself available when needed. We would absolutely recommend Kolby at Legacy Property Management for your next home.

Legacy Property Management has been very proactive in keeping their tenants happy. When we had a septic issue that caused some flooding, Kolby and his partner were on it immediately and brought in the right people to get the job done. We’ve had a few smaller maintenance issues as well, and every time they were handled quickly and efficiently. Effective communication is very important to me, and they are extremely proactive in keeping me informed throughout the process. I am truly pleased with their customer service—they definitely know how to keep their customers happy.

FAQs

We manage long-term rental properties throughout Bend, Redmond, Sisters and Black Butte Ranch, as well as the surrounding Central Oregon region. Our local knowledge of these sub-markets helps us price rentals correctly, reduce vacancies, and maximize owner returns.

Our pricing is simple and transparent. Your two largest fees will be our monthly management fee, which is 8% per month, and our tenant placement fee, which is 50% of the first month's rent. We can send a tailored proposal after reviewing your property and goals.

We perform a thorough analysis of your Central Oregon property viewing local rental comps, neighborhood trends, seasonality, and property condition to determine a market-accurate rate. Our goal is to find the perfect balance between strong cash flow and low vacancy.

We perform a thorough screening process to evaluate credit, monthly income, rental history, criminal background, and overall fit. We follow Oregon’s Fair Housing guidelines to ensure equal opportunity screening for every applicant.

We coordinate all maintenance on your behalf using only licensed and insured Central Oregon vendors. For non-emergency repairs, we notify you before work is performed. For emergencies, we act quickly to protect the property and keep your tenants safe — then notify you promptly.

Of course! We regularly assist owners transitioning from other property management companies. We handle the lease transfer, tenant communication, and onboarding to make the process smooth with no disruption to your tenants.

Absolutely! Our biggest clients have been referrals from Central Oregon agents and brokers alike. We partner with agents to facilitate the transfer of your property from sale to management. Just let your agent know you're working with us and we'll be present at every step of the process.

Now you're speaking our language! Being investors ourselves, we specialize in helping investors grow long-term wealth through data-informed strategies. Whether you’re local or out-of-state, we provide financial guidance, market data, and property performance insights to help you scale your portfolio.

While our bread and butter is long-term rentals in Central Oregon, we can certainly evaluate your goals and advise whether long-term, mid-term, or furnished rentals make the most financial sense. 

Unfortunately, no. We love the flexibility that STRs offer owners AND it requires a very different structure and toolset from a management perspective. We are happy to recommend a handful of trusted partners that can help with your STR.

Outside of just being great people? We're investors — which means we manage your property with an owner’s mindset. We combine high-touch service, proactive communication, and data-driven decisions to help owners build long-term wealth with better returns and less stress.
