Darla Andrews

Owner

Where I’m From?
North Plains, Oregon (NP member for life!)

About Me?
I grew up on a farm, which instilled in me a strong work ethic and sincere dedication to my community. I enjoy getting to know people’s stories and learning how others live a life different than mine. I’m also passionate about fitness. It’s truly important to me, and I’ve learned to push myself in the gym with the help of my fantastic trainer.

My true passion is boating. I own a 37-foot Maxum SCR 3700 named “Slacker,” moored in the Fremont area close to the Puget Sound. Traveling on the water is my real joy. It allows me to be free, enjoy the sea life, and provides some of the best views. This year, I was able to see a turtle swimming next to my boat. 

Why I Love Portland?
I call Portland the city with a small-town feeling. My favorite activities are hiking Forest Park, crabbing at Kelly’s Brighton Marina, and fishing from the jetty at Barview. I also love the mild climate and how dedicated people are to interacting with the environment.

How I contribute to Rent Portland Homes experience?

Now as the Portfolio Manager, I manage our property portfolios by ensuring our Owners are taken care of and our properties are set to the highest of standards. As the main contact for Owners, I also assist with Owner-Tenant relations as well as support all other department staff at Rent Portland Homes.

Why I love Portland?
I love how green of a city Portland is aesthetically and internally. Portland is a very conscious and progressive city which makes way for innovation and keeps things interesting. Having access to year around local, fresh beer from Portland’s breweries is a plus. I enjoy all the seasons, but when summer arrives and the sun comes out I love taking my dog Zeee out to Gabriel park.

All over, but raised mostly in Oregon.

About me?
In my free time, I’m a gamer. I enjoy tinkering and dabbling with programs and coding. I spent a while as a realtor, but realized it wasn’t the direction I wanted to go. I have two cats, but I shamelessly love one of them more than the other (just don’t tell them that). My favorite colour is blue.

My experience as a realtor (in a past life) lends itself nicely into working within Oregon laws for best procedures and smooth sailing.

Why I love Portland?
Portland is home. I spent a lot of my teen years growing up here and have grown to love the city for all its offerings. The festivals, events, food, and atmosphere are all great. I’d much prefer it not be so cold and wet, but that’s why we have heaters, after all.

I’m lucky to have experienced a diverse upbringing. I’ve lived in various locations, from Ketchikan, Alaska to New Orleans, Louisiana. Most recently, I moved from Michigan to the beautiful state of Oregon to pursue my Bachelor of Science degree in advertising at the University of Oregon.

Thankfully, I’m never alone on these adventures and spend every moment I can with my beautiful wife and two dogs, Nico and Basely.

There is a story to tell in every property and we go above and beyond at showing it!

Portland is beautiful and offers a great selection of fun activities for everyone! From cute local markets to small concert halls, there is so much I enjoy doing. Great local restaurants and coffee shops are at your fingertips! There is nothing better than walking around one of the numerous parks in Portland under cloudy skies and with a warm cup of coffee. With oat milk, of course.

Inspection Team

Enrique Chavez

Inspection Manager

Where I’m from?
Hillsboro, Oregon. I grew up there with my family.

About me?
In my spare time, I spend time with my family and create music. I play the guitar. Hang out with friends that I’ve made growing up in the area. I love tortillas, beans, and rice. I love spicy food and it’s my go-to! I’m not against travel, but it’s something I wouldn’t mind doing to explore North America a bit more.

How I contribute to Rent Portland Homes experience?
My days mostly consist of move-in inspections, as well as general inspections. I do a lot of tenant outreach. My goal is to make sure all our homes are ready for move-in – which means being cleaned & all repairs completed. I work with owners occasionally but mostly work with tenants to smooth the move-in process. I accurately and consistently document all my inspections and provide them to our owners for a baseline of home status at inspection times. Tenants say that I’m very communicative and personable. I work very hard to make sure homes are perfect for moves in and tenant ready.

Why I love Portland?
I love it when the weather is nice – ideally spring weather. I like the rain, too. Portland feels like a big city, but it’s not super big, and it’s not a small town by any means. This is my home and having grown up in the area, I can’t see myself not coming back to Portland time after time. Portland is always changing, so there’s always something new and exciting around the next corner.
