This is Thorn Property Management’s pledge to the community we call home in Bend and Deschutes County.

What Our Pledge to the Community Means
Thorn Property Management pledges to strengthen Bend and Deschutes County for all residents by safeguarding quality rental housing, supporting local property owners, delivering reliable tenant experiences, and driving stable community growth through dedicated family-owned local expertise.
In plain terms, our pledge to the community is a promise about how we run the business. We are a family business based in Bend, where we offer full Bend property management. So we put our commitments in writing, and you can hold us to them.
This pledge applies to everyone we work with, including property owners, tenants and neighbors. Whether a property is a vacation home, a long-term rental, a commercial space or a ranch, the same standards also apply. The same is true for the communities we serve through condo association management.
Quality Rental Housing and Local Owners
We pledge to safeguard quality rental housing. That means we treat every property as an investment worth protecting. So we pair careful tenant screening with proactive maintenance. We use trusted local tradespeople for repairs. We also support local property owners. Fee breakdowns are clear, with no hidden costs. In addition, every quote is customized to the property type and the services an owner chooses.
Reliable Experiences for Tenants
Because tenants are part of the community too, we pledge to deliver a reliable tenant experience. Our tenant screening follows Oregon fair housing laws and federal regulations, which keeps the process fair. We also hold security deposits in a trust account that complies with Oregon law. Tenants can also use online portals for rent payments and maintenance requests.
Keeping Our Pledge to the Community
Stable community growth starts with stable rentals. For that reason, we focus on prevention instead of conflict. Strong tenant screening and clear communication also help us avoid difficult situations. In rare cases when they do happen, we follow Oregon’s legal process. Because we are family-owned and local, we also stay up to date on Bend and Deschutes County ordinances, which is central to our Deschutes County property management. Together, these habits are how we plan to keep our pledge to the community, one rental at a time.
