Willamette Valley Rentals, LLC 117 South 9th Street, Philomath, OR 97370

"I hired Tara to manage properties. She sounded great and came with a recommendation. After months of lack of communication, frustration of the same stories and excuses we finally had to take our business elsewhere. I tried to keep the expectations of communication at the forefront. I asked to give notice to a tenant due to safety concerns of the home. It was 5 months later FINALLY they were given 3 months to vacate. Absolutely ridiculous! When asked, "the lawyer should be in contact this week" not to mention I had to ask for statements over and over. Cost of managing properties that need work can be expensive, I needed to budget for expenses, Tara would not send me statements. Tara would tell me her assistant was working on it. Tara would not respond to emails, text or calls. If you don't answer the person who pays you, do you do the same for the tenants if they have issues? The answer is yes! I talked to the tenants, yes she didn't communicate with them either. The last straw was the eviction notice given so late, now we are headed to court. Never did get any thing from Tara, proving we had to go to court or what the verdict was. When the tenants finally did move out. I asked for the yard to be kept up and utilities transferred. That didn't happen either. Absolutely shouldn't be in this business if you don't communicate. Edited: We had inspections on the homes when we hired Tara. She was to help us bring these homes back to a comfortable standard. When selling the homes, another inspection took place. None of the work was completed. No rental contracts signed. Nothing was done during the 10 months with Tara. No wonder she didn’t communicate, she wasn’t doing anything."

"Tara has been amazing since the first time we had to email her about the rental. She is good with communicating. She is quick at getting back to us. I am totally completely thankful for her that she gave us a chance to rent from her. I’m 100% thankful and so very grateful for her."

"Working with Tara Drongesen has been a huge quality of life change for me in my efforts to care for my family property and it's unique single family homes in the country! If you are a landlord seeking help from a caring, experienced, knowledgeable and skilled manager, I can wholeheartedly recommend Tara! Or, if you are a tenant searching for a home that will meet your needs and one where you will be comfortable and well cared for, I can also recommend Tara to help you! Tara cares for BOTH the landlord AND tenants and has a true gift for match making!!"

"Living in this neighborhood has been a dream, we love our home, and have been very happy with Tara and Willamettte Valley rentals as our landlord. We have put in a few work orders that have been handled very quickly. We communicate and understand they are busy but we always get a response, even if it’s not as quick as others may expect. The process for touring the house, then signing documents was quick as well. We love living here and plan to be for a while. Our neighbors have created a tribe and all our kids run around and play together. Making memories and socializing. We have tried to convince our whole family from other states to move here as well!"

"Willamette Valley Rentals has been wonderful to work with and rent from. They took over management at the apartment complex that I was living at (before I got into my house) and I cannot say how big of a turn around there was with things actually getting done when requests were made, and Tara was great to work with and communication was easy with timely replies. If I were in a position where I needed to rent again, Willamette is the first place I’d call."
