Meet the Team

As a Portland-based property management firm active in the Pacific Northwest, every engagement represents an opportunity to create a bespoke client-focused action plan, not a one-size-fits-all solution. Be it fine tuning operations of a stabilized asset, leasing up a new development, or creating a turnaround plan for a distressed asset, unyielding attention to detail and timely communication makes for precise and reliable results.


“The Meritus team thinks like owners, which makes them invaluable partners in operating our family’s assets.”
