Portfolio Property Management

What Portfolio Property Management does

Portfolio Property Management is a privately held, multi-disciplined real estate firm headquartered in Bakersfield, California, that provides third-party property management, asset management, and court-appointed receivership services for multifamily, retail, and office properties. The firm operates under the parent entity Real Estate Cashflow Network, Inc. (Broker of Record DRE# 01355272), with affiliated divisions covering brokerage (Portfolio Properties), lending (Portfolio Funding), maintenance and construction (ACME Maintenance), CPA services (Bowen Accounting & Tax), 1031 exchanges (Exeter 1031 Exchange), and reverse mortgages (Reverse Mortgage Associates, Inc.), forming an integrated investor-services ecosystem led by CEO Mary Sawyer, CCIM.

The underlying technology stack is built on AppFolio Property Manager, which powers the Tenant Portal and Owner Portal (accessible via web and native iOS/Android apps) for online rent payment, maintenance requests, financial statements, and self-service account management. Yardi Property Management Software is used for receivership accounting. The firm's go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer digital channels (website, AppFolio-powered listings and applications, tenant/owner self-service portals) with sales-led outreach to property investors and CCIM-network referrals for commercial and receivership work. Service delivery spans all 52 California counties and receivership appointments in all 50 U.S. states.

Revenue is generated through negotiable, property-specific monthly management fees (subscription-based with multi-property discounts), a $125 one-time lease administration fee, a $50 per-applicant application fee, security deposits up to two months' rent, a 15% contractor management fee when the firm's vendors are used, and pass-through eviction processing fees ($450–$1,000). Specialized fee streams include LA County Soft-Story Retrofit Program coordination (engineering, permitting, Tenant Habitability Plans). Customer segments include individual and institutional property investors, financial institutions needing receivership for distressed assets, residential and commercial tenants, and LA County property owners subject to seismic retrofit mandates. No revenue, headcount, or financial performance figures are publicly disclosed.
