About Southern Oregon Property Management

Carolyn Shaw-Straus has been a property owner and manager in the Rogue Valley for over 40 years. She did not start Southern Oregon Property Management because she saw a business opportunity. She started it because other property owners kept asking her to manage their properties the way she managed her own.

That request shaped the entire philosophy of this company. Every property we manage gets the same attention, the same care, and the same standards that Carolyn applies to her own investment properties. Monthly inspections at minimum. Face-to-face meetings with every prospective tenant. No markup on any repair or maintenance work. Available 24/7 for emergencies.

After four decades in this business, Carolyn knows the Rogue Valley rental market inside and out. She knows which contractors do quality work at fair prices. She knows how to price a rental to fill it quickly without leaving money on the table. And she knows that the only way to truly manage a property is to be there, in person, on a regular basis.

This is not a franchise. This is not a corporate operation. This is an owner-operated business where every property owner gets direct access to the person making the decisions.
