We were founded as “Apartment Data Center” in 1969. Originally, our organization operated as a tenant referral service, matching apartment owners with renters. It also published “The Apartment Guide,” a free booklet for prospective renters. While Apartment Data Center earned revenue from landlords who acquired tenants through our service or advertised in The Apartment Guide, the biggest treasure of Apartment Data Center was the knowledge it mined about the needs, tendencies, behaviors and motivations of renters. Ultimately we became one of the premiere property management companies in the Portland Metropolitan area.
