In what areas do you manage rental properties?

We manage long-term rental properties throughout Bend, Redmond, and Sisters, 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.

How much does your property management cost?

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.

How do you determine the rental price for my home?

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.

How do you screen tenants?

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.

How do you handle maintenance and repairs?

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.

Can I switch to Legacy if I’m already with another Bend property management company?

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.

Do you work with real-estate agents and brokers?

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.

Do you work with real-estate investors?

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.

Do you manage furnished or mid-term rentals?

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.

Do you manage short-term rentals?

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.

What makes Legacy Property Management different?

Outside of being of cool people in general? 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.

Tenant Placement · Lease-Only Service

Manage it yourself. Let us find the tenant.

Name: Legacy Property Management
Rating: 5

You want to run your own rental — but placing the wrong tenant can undo a whole year of returns. We price it, market it, screen to Legacy standards, and get a qualified tenant under a solid Oregon lease. Then we hand you the keys.

Tenant placement is our full leasing process without the ongoing management. We do the hard, high-stakes part — finding and vetting the right renter — and you take it from there. Serving Bend, Redmond, Sisters, and Black Butte.

How It Works

Three steps to a leased property

Step 01

We price & market it

A data-driven rental analysis sets the right rate for your submarket, then professional photos and syndicated listings put your property in front of qualified renters fast.

Step 02

We screen & place

Full screening — credit, criminal, eviction, income, and rental history — under Oregon Fair Housing rules, followed by a compliant lease drafted and signed.

Step 03

We hand you the keys

We complete a documented move-in inspection with photos, onboard your new tenant, and hand everything over. From day one, you self-manage.

Why owners choose it

The right tenant is worth more than the fee

Marketing, screening, and getting a well-qualified renter under a solid lease is the part of being a landlord that carries the most risk — and the most cost if it goes wrong. A single bad placement can wipe out a year of rental income in missed rent, damage, and legal fees.

We’re investors ourselves. We screen and place tenants with an owner’s mindset, so you start your self-managed tenancy with someone you can rely on.
