I only started service with them before selling my home at the last minute (I was in the process of preparing to take it off the market), but they were quick to respond to my questions and willing to negotiate with me on things like large project fees, etc.

Spear NW has been extremely professional to work with. They posted my property in a timely manner, vetted a wonderful tenant and responded immediately to a challenge I had. I am grateful to have found this team and highly recommend them.

Spear Northwest has been managing my rental for about a year now and I'm very pleased. I've used other propertymanagement companies in the past, so I know the difference. In April my tenant found water on the floor, there was a leak in the wall of the laundry room, it was a big problem, water had also leaked from upstairs, etc. Melissa at Spear NW dealt with my insurance company, got the tenant temporarily relocated, took bids and found the cheapest contractors, and oversaw the work to completion. Tenant is moved back in and happy. In other matters, Spear NW Maintenance crew has done some minor upkeep and landscaping, and their charges are less than my previous Prop Mgmt Co. If I request a service, I receive an e-mail of the charge and a payment portal. Click the button and it's paid from my bank, just like any other purchase on-line. Easy, and that's what I want. Lastly, they found me an honestly great tenant. Highly recommend Spear NW.

Thank you, TJ! We’re so glad you’ve had such a positive experience this past year. Melissa and our team work hard to handle challenges quickly, keep costs reasonable, and make things easy for our owners — it’s great to hear that’s come through. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

I’ve been working with Spear Northwest PropertyManagement for the past two years, and they’ve consistently delivered excellent service. Communication is prompt and clear, and they take care of issues quickly without me having to chase for updates. They’ve kept my property well-maintained, found reliable tenants, and handled the day-to-day management so I can focus on other things. It’s been a smooth and dependable partnership from the start. - Joel Martin, (503) 479-5820

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer transparent, competitive pricing with no hidden fees. Our standard full-service management includes a 6–8% monthly management fee (minimum $75), depending on the property and your specific management needs. In some cases, we also charge a one-time leasing fee of 25-50% of the first month’s rent when placing a new tenant for full-service clients. The leasing fee covers everything—from rental listing preparation and marketing to professional photos, tenant screening, lease drafting, and move-in coordination.
There are no upfront costs, and we offer discounts for owners with multiple properties under management.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a brief consultation—either virtual or in person—to learn more about your property and your goals. From there, we provide a rental market analysis and walk you through our services, fees, and management agreement. If you decide to move forward, we handle everything: onboarding, tenant communication (if occupied), marketing, lease execution, and setting up your owner portal. You’ll have full visibility into your property’s performance from day one.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our team is led by a licensed Principal Broker in the state of Oregon with over a decade of experience in residential real estate, leasing, and property operations. We stay current on Oregon landlord/tenant law, fair housing, eviction moratorium updates, and best practices in property management through continuing education and membership in local and national professional organizations.
