Property Management Services

A Fresh Start

From a service perspective, bigger is not always better, especially when it comes to the ongoing needs of a managing properties... large or small. FRESH START Real Estate, Inc. is a locally owned, family operated practice, fully licensed and insured in the State of Oregon, and based in the Sexton Mountain/Murrayhill area of Beaverton. Mark Vandervest has been a Professional Property Manager for 26 years, a Licensed Real Estate Broker for 28 years, and has an extensive background in Construction as a former General Contractor for 16+ years. This brings a holistic solution to all of the property management needs that most management organizations fall short of in one way or the other. The result is a comprehensive knowledge of all Management aspects, contractual interpretation, and in - depth, hands-on knowledge of building components, repairs, maintenance, collections, and accounting.

The approach that FRESH START implements insures an ongoing non-transient contact system, and that all information is received and delivered, without bureaucratic delays or departmental miscommunication. We are a team-oriented, husband and wife operation who always promise prompt, clear, and concise communication. This results in timely responses, efficient resolution, and eliminates the chance of any breakdown in communication.


Mark has owned, operated, and managed a variety of properties since 1990. The best interest of the Owner is at the heart of all decisions, financial or otherwise, and without exception. We are a full time operation and are uniquely in a position to dedicate more attention to the properties we manage than any other management organization because of our personalized commitment to each Owner, property, and community. Our experience in and around the Portland Metro area brings added value to each component of community needs including reliable local vendors, contractors, professional services, and legal resources
