Kolby was an answer to prayers. From the first call about a home to rent to the finalizing of documents, he had such positive energy! He took care of our needs quickly and assured us he would be around for the long haul if we needed him. I highly recommend working with Kolby AND knowing him. 😊 You won't be disappointed!

Kolby and his team were excellent partners to work with from the first steps of introducing my client to a positive ongoing professional property management of their home. Kolby found excellent tenants and my clients couldn’t be more pleased. I will definitely work with this team for all my property management needs and future client referrals.

We have been working with Kolby & Steven at Legacy Property Management for the last couple of months. They thoroughly explained the process of getting our property ready for renting, arranging for any needed services and were accurate with the cost estimate of the services that were provided. They were in constant communication regarding tenant interest, showings and applications which was greatly appreciated. We were able to get a qualified tenant into our property in just a couple of weeks. They continue doing a great job communicating with us via phone, text and email and are very responsive to any questions or concerns that we have. We are extremely happy we chose Legacy Property Management to manage our central Oregon property. Kelly & Jill

This is our 3rd rental in Bend and by far the most pleasant experience we’ve ever had! Kolby was kind, honest and informative and showed genuine care + consideration for our family in helping us get settled and making sure the home was in excellent shape. Highly recommend Legacy!

Kolby at Legacy Property Management has been an incredible resource. As new real estate investors in Central Oregon, we had a lot of questions, and he has been generous with his time, knowledge, and expertise every step of the way. He provided detailed rental analyses, helped us understand what remodels would add the most value and increase rental income, and was always willing to answer our questions without making us feel rushed. His professionalism, responsiveness, and investor-focused approach have given us a lot of confidence as we get started. If you’re an investor looking for a knowledgeable, responsive property management team in Central Oregon, I highly recommend reaching out to Kolby and the team at Legacy Property Management. We’ve been extremely impressed with the level of service and look forward to working with them for years to come.

As a Realtor, I was in a time crunch trying to get rental comps together for a transaction I was working on, as they were needed by the lender. I called several property management companies around 5:00 p.m. on a Friday, and Kolby answered. He was incredibly helpful, kind, and immediately offered to put a rental comp analysis together for me. Even more impressive, he had everything completed and sent to me early Saturday morning. His responsiveness, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond truly saved the day. If this is how they treat someone who isn't even a client, I can only imagine the level of service they provide to their owners and tenants. Highly recommend this company, and a huge thank you to Kolby!

I was thinking about renting my property but knew very little about how the numbers play out. Kolby was very helpful, he created a quantitative report showing analysis of all of my options, and didn't try to persuade me one way or the other.

Kolby and team have been very pleasant to interact with. They ensured a smooth move-in. He even was able to troubleshoot some minor issues without needing to call in support during the walkthrough. Several months in and he’s been very responsive, getting back to requests generally within a day and waisting no time scheduling a technician or contractor to come by to resolve the issue whether it’s related to lighting, wasps, irrigation system, etc. The benefits are clear working with a small team rather than a big corporate property management company when your landlord hires someone like Legacy Property Management.

Common questions

Everything owners and investors ask us

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 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.
