Fred Marlow and Darla Andrew – Portland’s #1 Property Management Team

Following the Real Estate market collapse of 2007, homeowners in Portland Oregon found themselves in the same position as other homeowners nationwide, home values had dropped seemingly overnight and just about every owner was faced with owning a home that had a mortgage which was upside down or underwater.

Sadly, many homeowners during this time chose options like bankruptcy, short sale or foreclosure to get out from under the heavy burden of their homes which were now worth less than their mortgages.

Thankfully, Fred Marlow and Darla Andrews, both long time Real Estate professionals, saw a need for skilled property management in the Portland Oregon area following the Real Estate market collapse of 2007 and they started Property Management Systems in 2010.

Homeowners who decided to wait until their home values recovered chose Fred, Darla and their team of experienced property managers at Property Management Systems to professionally manage their rental properties.

By the end of the first year in business, Fred and Darla’s Property Management Systems were managing over 100 properties, and today they are managing more than 500 properties, with growth projections of 30+ % each year.
