40+ Years of Hands-On Management
Carolyn Shaw-Straus has been a property owner and manager in the Rogue Valley for over 40 years. She started Southern Oregon Property Management at the request of property owners who were looking for competent, reliable, professional management for their properties.
She manages your property the way she manages her own. That means monthly inspections at minimum, no markup on any repairs, meeting every tenant in person, and being available when you need her. It is a simple approach, but it is the right one.
Learn More About UsWhy Property Owners Choose Us
Lower costs. Better service. Real accountability.
Lower Management Fees
We charge less than most property managers in the Rogue Valley. Our lean, owner-operated model means more money stays in your pocket.
Zero Markup on Repairs
You pay exactly the contractor invoice price. Not a dollar more. Many managers mark up repairs 10-20%. We never have and never will.
Monthly Inspections Minimum
We personally inspect every property at least once a month. Small problems get caught before they become expensive ones.
Face-to-Face Tenant Meetings
We meet every prospective tenant in person at the property. Background checks tell part of the story. Meeting someone tells you the rest.
What Our Clients Say
“Carolyn manages our properties the way she manages her own. That is not something you hear about most property managers. She actually cares about the condition of the property and the quality of the tenants.”
Long-term Property Owner
Medford, OR
“We switched to Southern Oregon Property Management because our previous manager was marking up every repair by 15-20%. With Carolyn, we pay exactly the invoice price. That alone saved us thousands in the first year.”
Multi-property Investor
Rogue Valley, OR
“What impressed us most is the monthly inspections. Our last property manager only showed up when something went wrong. Carolyn catches small problems before they turn into expensive ones.”
