At Big Eddy Property Management, we specialize in being able to attract high end executive tenants to premium homes in Bend’s West Side neighborhoods like Northwest Crossing, Awbrey Butte, and the Deschutes Riverfront. These tenants aren’t just looking for a place to live. They are seeking a lifestyle that matches the quality they left behind in tech hubs like Seattle or the Bay Area. By focusing on features like secure gear storage, remote work readiness, and the unique "Trail to Table" proximity of Bend, we position your property as the premier choice in a competitive market. Our concierge style approach ensures your home is cared for by tenants who align with your values, protecting your equity and preserving your investment for the future.

Getting your rental property market ready in Bend can feel like pedaling your bike up the steep side of Awbrey Butte, but as a boutique team that lives and works right here on the hill, we handle the heavy lifting so you can enjoy the view. We know firsthand that Awbrey Butte operates on its own weather system, often seeing several more inches of snow and ice than the valley just a mile away, and we provide the proactive, local grit needed to protect your investment through every High Desert season. From the timeless charm of mid century ranch estates with layouts designed to bring the outdoors in to the intricate woodwork of classic Northwest Craftsmen, we understand the architectural soul of this neighborhood inside and out. We treat your property like it is in our own backyard because it often is, offering a watchful eye from this unique bird’s perch to ensure your home remains a source of pride and a high value asset for years to come.

For the discerning homeowner in Tetherow, your property deserves more than standard management — it deserves a guardian. You've invested in one of the Pacific Northwest's most coveted addresses: a home in the high desert, surrounded by world-class skiing, pristine trails, and the kind of quiet that no major city can offer. But your life is in Beaverton, San Francisco, or Bellevue — and the distance between you and your asset shouldn't cost you peace of mind. Big Eddy Property Management brings big-market expertise and white-glove stewardship to Bend's most prestigious community, serving remote owners and global executives who expect their estate managed with the same precision they bring to their professional lives. We are your local presence, your proactive partner, and your guarantee that when you return to Bend — or send your guests ahead — everything is exactly as it should be.

Coming in Summer 2026, Oregon HB 4123 marks a massive shift in tenant privacy, essentially treating rental data with the same legal weight as medical records. For Bend landlords, this means sharing "confidential information"—including SSNs, income details, immigration status, or even private email addresses—without specific, standalone written consent or a court order can trigger strict liability penalties of twice the monthly rent per violation. Standard lease clauses are no longer enough; landlords must now secure records, strictly limit reference checks to payment history and documented violations, and ensure staff and vendors follow rigid privacy protocols to avoid potentially devastating statutory damages that can multiply with every leaked record.
