About Us

Our Story

Blake & Alder Property Management was created from a simple belief: that property management can be personal, intentional, and deeply connected to community. Founded by Justin Pavis, a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, the company began with a vision of elevating the standard of care in the Portland metro housing market.


The name Blake & Alder honors the dogs Justin shares with his husband Daniel. Their presence embodies everything the company stands for: loyalty, comfort, warmth, and the feeling of home. Over time, that spirit has shaped a boutique management firm that is thoughtful, inclusive, ethical, and driven by genuine relationships.



What started as a small, heart-led idea has grown into a respected property management company trusted by owners, investors, and residents across the region. But no matter how much the business expands, our focus remains the same: people first, community always.
