Barker & Calkins

The best! Everything Karen said is spot on (I pretty much came on to write her review and she beat me to it)!!
I have rented from Barker & Calkins for 4+ years at 2 different properties, one on SE 34^th & Hawthorne and the other also located in inner Southeast Portland– both fantastic locations and beautiful properties! Anytime I have ever needed anything, David is quick to respond and is always respectful and kind. He also has a knack for renting to the best tenants (I have never had a complaint with any of my neighbors). If you’re looking for someone who cares about you as a tenant, and a person– this is the place to be! Or if you’re looking for someone to make sure your property is in the best of hands (like Karen mentioned– tenants who also care about your property) — David is one of a kind.
If I ever move again, it will definitely be to a property David is managing!

David Weislogel was our property manager for about 9 years, at 2 different buildings. That’s right, when it was time to move, we called up David to find our new place. Fair and thoughtful in dealing with problems, high integrity, compassionate yet has good boundaries. Responsive in emergencies, yet a respectful hands-​off approach is the day-​to-​day standard — which is nice, because it gives the residents space to take ownership.
My neighbor and I created a vegetable garden out of an unused part of the property. It was lovely to have the freedom to do that.
David also has an excellent sense of humor, which is so helpful when bizarre problems with your neighbors arise. It’s been a pleasure to get to know him over the years.
PS. Property owners appreciate this quality of service too, because David attracts loyal tenants who stick around and take good care of the property.
PPS. There is no «Barker» or «Calkins» anymore, for well over a decade… it’s just Weislogel. Yeah, it’s quirky.
