Experience Property Management Redefined

About Dérive Property Management

Welcome to Dérive, a property management company with roots in Portland and presence across Oregon, Washington, California, and Wyoming. Our name comes from the French word meaning ‘an unplanned journey,’ and that’s exactly how we see the experience of living and owning property—unexpected, ever-changing, and full of possibility. We approach property with a creative touch and a neighborly spirit, ensuring each space we manage feels well cared for, and each client feels at ease.

Our Mission

“At Dérive, we believe property management is more than transactions—it’s about people, places, and the connections between them. Our mission is to care for homes and communities with intention, creativity, and heart, so both residents and owners feel supported on their journey.”

Our Services

Dedicated to enhancing communities and supporting residents and owners through intentional property management.

Why Dérive

Because life doesn’t always follow a straight line. We named our company after the dérive—a wander through the city without a set destination—because we understand property ownership and renting can feel the same. Our role is to help guide the path, reduce stress, and keep the journey enjoyable.

Our Approach

We’re not a cookie-cutter management company. We value creativity, adaptability, and genuine care in everything we do. From maintaining the character of historic Portland homes to overseeing classic multi-family spaces, we bring a boutique sensibility to every property.
