Duerksen & Associates

What Duerksen & Associates does

Duerksen & Associates, operating as D&A, Inc., is a privately held residential property management company founded in 1978 and headquartered at 750 NW Cornell Ave, Corvallis, Oregon. The firm manages approximately 1,100–1,200 single-family rentals, duplexes, and small multifamily assets across the Willamette Valley tri-city market of Corvallis, Albany, and Philomath (Benton and Linn Counties). It serves individual "Invested Property Owners," licensing its expertise in Oregon landlord-tenant compliance, resident placement, rent collection, maintenance, and asset preservation.

D&A monetizes through a four-tier pricing architecture: a placement-only Lease Only plan (1 month rent, $1,650 minimum), Bronze at 8% of collected rent, Silver at 10%, and Gold at 15% with loss-of-rent guarantees (up to 25 weeks), tenant damage protection (up to $35,000), eviction assurance, and $1M liability coverage. Management fees are charged only when rent is collected, aligning vendor and owner incentives. Ancillary revenue includes $250 setup fees, leasing and renewal placement fees, and add-ons such as turnover coordination and pet damage guarantees.

The operating stack relies on industry-standard SaaS — AppFolio for owner and resident portals, Property Meld for maintenance intake, RentEngine and Tenant Turner for leasing workflow automation, Zillow for vacancy distribution, and Zinspection for 360° tours and inspections. Distribution is sales-led through dedicated Client Success Managers executing free rental analyses and tier-based onboarding, supplemented by a formal real estate agent referral program ($250–$1,050 bonuses) in Benton and Linn Counties. A public Success Scorecard reports monthly KPIs, including a 99.9% rent collection rate and 36.3 average days on market versus a 48.3-day Corvallis market average, supporting the firm's positioning as a compliance-led, value-tier operator rather than a low-cost provider.

Revenue model

1. Property Management Fees (Recurring): Recurring monthly management fees charged as a percentage of collected rent. Management fee percentages vary by tier: Bronze at 8%, Silver at 10%, Gold at 15%. The company operates on a 'we only get paid when you do' principle, meaning management fees are only charged when rent is successfully collected. This creates alignment between the company's performance and owner revenue.
2. Leasing and Placement Fees (Transactional): One-time fees for placing qualified residents in rental properties. The Lease Only plan charges 1 month rent plus (with $1,650 minimum). Bronze tier includes half-month rent leasing service. Silver and Gold tiers include $500 renewal service. Setup fees of $250 apply to Lease Only, Bronze, and Silver tiers, with Gold tier including setup at no extra cost.
3. Tiered Management Package Add-Ons: The Gold tier includes loss-of-rent guarantees (up to 25 weeks), tenant damage protection (up to $35,000 for malicious damage), eviction assurance (covering eviction costs and sheriff fees), and $1M in liability coverage for owner and property manager. The Bronze and Silver tiers include add-on services like turnover coordination ($425 add-on for Lease Only).

Broad incumbents

• Greystar Real Estate Partners: Largest residential property management company in the U.S., managing over 800,000 units globally. Comparable as a direct residential property manager serving owners and renters with tiered services, though at vastly greater scale than D&A's regional footprint.
• Asset Living: National multifamily property manager with ~300,000+ units under management. Comparable as a third-party residential property manager offering tiered management packages, resident screening, and 24/7 maintenance to property owners.
• BH Management Services: Multifamily property manager operating ~160,000 units. Comparable core service offering — property management, leasing, maintenance, financial reporting — for residential property owners, though at national institutional scale.
• RPM Living: National multifamily property manager with ~200,000 units. Comparable third-party residential property management model with tiered services, owner reporting, and resident portals analogous to D&A's AppFolio-based offering.
• Bell Partners: Multifamily investment and management firm operating ~80,000 units. Comparable third-party management, leasing, and resident services for multifamily property owners, including tiered service packages.
• Invitation Homes: Largest U.S. single-family rental (SFR) operator/manager with ~80,000+ SFR homes. Comparable in serving the SFR segment with professional property management, resident screening, and 24/7 maintenance — but at institutional scale.
• American Homes 4 Rent (AMH): Public REIT managing ~60,000+ single-family rental homes. Comparable as an SFR-focused property manager leveraging integrated technology, maintenance infrastructure, and resident portals — though vertically integrated at scale.

Emerging players

• Mynd Property Management: Tech-enabled residential (SFR and small multifamily) property manager serving ~20,000 doors across multiple U.S. metros. Directly comparable in target segment (SFR + small multifamily owners) and emphasis on tech-enabled owner/renter portals, though operating in larger metros rather than D&A's Oregon sub-region.
• Hemlane: Tech-enabled property management platform targeting small landlords (1–50 units) across the U.S. Comparable target customer segment to D&A's small-portfolio 'Invested Owners,' with an emphasis on owner transparency, online rent collection, and software-led service delivery.

Direct peers

• RangeWater Real Estate: Multifamily and build-to-rent operator/manager focused on small and mid-sized residential assets. Comparable in serving owners of smaller residential portfolios with full-service property management, leasing, and resident services.
