Who does the testing.
Reviews written by hosts and owners who test managers and tools against real listings.
Every review follows how we test and our editorial policy.
Dorothy Keane
Editor-in-chief
Has let an upstairs apartment in one of Baker City's downtown brick blocks through nine winters. She grades management companies on what their winter plan says in writing, because that is the clause that decides an eastern Oregon year.
Wes Tremblay
Fees and contracts
Reads exit clauses before rate cards. Has moved two Baker County properties between managers and writes the fee comparisons on this desk.
Ana Sobrino
Buildings and maintenance
Spent years scheduling trades across the Powder River valley. Covers heating, freeze protection and old plumbing — what actually breaks in a historic building here.
