I have lived in the Encore building in the Pear District in Portland for a little more than a year and the building manager has made the difference. She has accessible and helpful when through my move-in and my time living here. read more

I'm a realtor in Portland, so I've visited nearly all of the buildings that Bluestone manages and I've never come across somebody more upbeat and responsive than Taylor Coakley at the Encore! I've had clients buy in her building and rave about what a wonderful asset she is and I know firsthand this is the case. I can't imagine a better building manager...she's always quick to respond and never seems annoyed by even the most tedious questions. I always look forward to seeing her whenever I'm showing places at the Encore and I know her residents feel the same way...some of whom are my lovely clients. Thanks for being such a rockstar, Taylor! We're all lucky to have you. read more

I've had a very positive experience at Encore, and a big part of that has been the wonderful support from management. Taylor Coakley is kind, patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly approachable. Whenever I've had a question or needed assistance, she has always been accessible and willing to take the time to explain things and provide guidance. I really appreciate her professionalism and the way she communicates with residents. Taylor makes it easy to ask questions and feel heard, and I've always felt that she genuinely wants to help. It's reassuring to have someone in management who is both professional and personable. Overall, I'm very appreciative of her efforts and the positive experience she helps create at Encore. read more

Bluestone has shown a long pattern of mismanagement, negligence, and disregard for homeowner rights. Acting as the de facto decision-makers for our HOA--because the Board relied completely on them--they allowed years of improper billing, forcing homeowners to pay for repairs (plumbing, vent cleaning) that our CC&Rs clearly define as HOA responsibilities. They never informed owners they could seek reimbursement, keeping that information from the community while continuing to collect dues. During the 2024 roofing project, Bluestone failed to properly oversee the contractor when attic vents were left disconnected--a clear health risk. It took them many months to force the contractor to return and make the necessary fixes, and even now they have refused to conduct mold testing despite the moisture and mold concerns created by the delays. Their slow action and lack of transparency have left homeowners with unanswered health questions and potential damage to property values. Bluestone's combination of poor leadership, delayed responses, and refusal to address critical safety issues has cost our community money, trust, and peace of mind. If you value transparency, accountability, and competent management, do not hire Bluestone Real Estate Services. read more

While the property manager, MaryColleen, and maintenance team are wonderful at Birch Creek, I am disappointed that I have to pay fees to pay my rent on line since the property moved to Bluestone. I think it's ridiculous that we have pay a fee to pay rent when paying on time. Every month I am charged $2.49 to pay my rent. That is an extra $29.88 per year. Thank you Birch Creek Resident read more

I'm a renter at Harrison East and have only praise and appreciation for Mark McFarland, the on-site maintenance technician, for helping me during my transition. He is incredibly competent, cheerful, and genuinely caring. Mark consistently goes above and beyond to help residents, and he is truly a valuable asset to both Harrison East and Bluestone Realty.

Taylor Coakley , the property manager at the Encore is the example of excellence in communication and service She works so well with the residents and other professional! 10+ read more

I am nearing the end of my first year of living at The Encore in The Pearl and I have to say that the building manager, Taylor Coakley, is exceptional. She is communicative, accessible, responsive and approachable. She serves as a connection between all residents and encourages everyone to become involved in activities and adhere to guidelines of the building that support safety, security and being good neighbors to one another. read more

Lack of transparency and ethics. Strong arms entire communities into financially insolvent decisions with callous disregard for homeowners, real-estate market, socio-economics of community and neighborhood and economic climate. Whatever benefits their construction consultant and bank loan relationships. No collaboration with community to reach financially responsible and prudent decisions with exorbitant fees levied by their preferred construction company, bank, and bluestone itself. Or perhaps this is all the grand design to force owners (single family and small portfolio) into delinquency that will allow mass property grabs-- worrisome that they deal largely with apartment oriented rentals. read more

As new owners we have had a very easy time with communication with Bluestone. Our building is kept very clean and all staff are extremely pleasant. read more

I am a current resident in an HOA managed by Bluestone, and my experience has been deeply disappointing, stressful, and unacceptable, especially as a disabled person entitled to legal protections under the Fair Housing Act. In May 2025, I submitted a formal reasonable accommodation request due to disabling health conditions that require very basic environmental modifications to my living situation. My request was well within the law, existing HOA bylaws, and Portland regulations. Rather than handle the request professionally and in compliance with federal law, Bluestone completely mishandled it, passing it off to the HOA board without providing any proper guidance or legal oversight. Despite multiple follow-ups, including direct complaints to higher-level Bluestone management, no one from Bluestone has contacted me, responded to my request, or made any attempt to repair the situation. To this day (over two months later) they have failed to provide any written response or action plan, which is a clear violation of Fair Housing requirements that mandate prompt and timely responses to accommodation requests. This is not an isolated incident. Bluestone routinely neglects basic responsibilities, leaving the HOA board to micromanage every decision just to get things done. Our Bluestone management team fails to properly address resident concerns, even when those concerns involve legal obligations toward disabled community members. And they have shown utter disregard for the wellbeing of vulnerable residents, making it clear they care only about collecting management fees, not about actually managing properties responsibly. If you are considering Bluestone to manage your property or HOA, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere. This company is incompetent, unresponsive, and unethical - and they behave this way without any apparent fear of accountability. Completely disgusting and unacceptable. read more

Thought I'd share a long term perspective on Bluestone Hockley Real Estate Services & their business practices: 1. Way back when (in the 1990s), one of the founders served as the leasing agent for a property my mother owned in downtown Portland. After spending over $30,000 on tenant improvements & another $16,000 on his commission for the first five years of the lease, the tenant left in the middle of the night after only six months. The response? Sorry, I did my job & it was your mother's job to vet the tenant, which vetting had been done by the Founder at her request. He walked without even trying to help replace the tenant. We have subsequently had other agents who when faced with similar issues stepped up & obtained replacement tenants at no additional commission cost. This was simply the first demonstration of a lack of integrity. 2. Before we were married my wife bought a townhome in a neighborhood that is managed by Bluestone Hockley Real Estate Services. Unfortunately they have repeatedly demonstrated little concern about anything other than their own bottom line. As another reviewer mentioned, they replaced roofing & then told everyone there was not enough money in the reserves to pay for it & offered a low interest rate loan, which turned out to be at a 1% premium over the prevailing interest rate at the time. And on top of that they charged a processing fee from the lender plus their own processing fee for each payment. Quite the profit making scam when you can get away with it! 3. Over the past five years they have either moved, restructured their banking relationships, or switched to a new accounting system at least 2-3 times. Each change has required property owners to spend time restructuring their payment systems, figuring out a new place & manner of sending their payments and/or working with their accounting department to get payments properly credited. The accounting department has at least helped to manage these challenges & waived inappropriate penalty and interest charges, but only at the cost of a ridiculous amount of time & energy. 4. If there is a concern with our property we can be certain that we will receive a picture & threatening letter ... at a minimum of five days AFTER the supposed deadline for correction of the concern. 5. Recently we received a delinquency notice regarding our payments from ten months ago. The matter was completely resolved nearly 5 months ago, but this letter still took nearly two weeks to get things straightened out ... AGAIN! 6. And now we have received several emails from our 'Senior Association Community Manager' regarding matters that do not even apply to our unit. She seems to think that her time is more valuable than all of ours, so does not even bother to ensure that the emails she sends are relevant to the people to whom she sends them. We have received at least a dozen emails over the past few months that have nothing to do with our unit, some not even with our HOA. And of course, we must read them because if they DO apply then the excuse if we don't respond quickly is, "Well, we sent you an email." So we must waste our time opening & reading lots & lots of irrelevant emails because they are too lazy to make sure they only send them to those who should get them. I'm quite certain that, while there will definitely be a response to this review, nothing is likely to change in terms of Bluestone Hockley Real Estate Services' condescending attitude, self-serving business & communication practices, nor their lack of transparency (you will note they frequently cite 'transparency' in their responses despite regularly hiding behind obfuscating language). While there are indeed several really good people working at Bluestone Hockley Real Estate Services, unfortunately the leadership style of the Founder still pervades the company following his departure. This results in a company that my family does not trust, & as a result we have not done business with them since the 1990s. And based on our experiences to date, my wife & I most certainly will not deal with them subsequent to the sale of our unit. Hopefully this review help others make informed decisions regarding retaining Bluestone Real Estate Services as their agent or regarding the purchase/lease of living quarters. read more

They refused my rental payment (which is illegal), suspended online payments on my account, and are now trying to evict me. I have reached out to them, and they have ghosted me. Do not rent from these slumlords! read more

Bluestone has been horrible returning emails ,phone calls and text messages even in a 72 hr window. They have mismanaged HOA accounts stating that it is because of the turnover in their management team. No one wants to take the blame for their ineptness. I am not looking for excuses , I want accurate results and immediacy in handling and fixing the problems that they have created . read more

I was told what a friendly building The Encore is prior to my purchasing. I have definitely found that to be true. But I have also discovered that the secret sauce to the ambience, tone, and maintenance of the building can be credited, in large part, to Taylor Coakley. She is not just kind and efficient but she is relentless in protecting our "home." Taylor has many residents who have become her friend, but she treats us all with the same respect... a respect sprinkled with kindness, but more importantly, consistent fairness. read more

My elderly mother who lives in condos this company owns are horrible when it comes to maintenance and safety around the premises. I stay with my mother who has Dementia to help her and there is a bee hive right in the vines/ivy by our front door. My sister and 1 maintenance worker has complained to the HOA several times to send someone out to get rid of these bees and nothing. I'm allergic to them. I do know if myself, my mother or anyone in my family gets stung or attacked I will have to contact my lawyer. Video was taken on 7/25/25 and it's being documented everyday by my doorbell camera that shows no one coming to remove the bee. Been almost a month now. My mother owns her condo too!! read more

The reviews say it all. Bluestone/SVN has to be one of the worst RE houses in Portland. We worked with Stacy Looney and boy does her last name match. She couldn't get a deal together, blamed us, blamed the other agent, but when we did our own research we found it was the other agents that did not want to work with her. She's passive aggressive, mean spirited, and not even local to Portland. She forgot to mention she was flying in from Idaho to meet us... great way to stay on top of all the local trends and market shifts as they happen... NOT. Low IQ, bad broker, and bad reputation. read more

I contacted them about at apartment I wanted to see. I was given the first available appointment for right after the property was vacant to see it after calling them trying to get an answer. as there was no reply on Zillow messages. This showing was then canceled not once but twice. the second time i got a text saying the property was rented, before i was able to see it. guess someone applied before it was vacant? sadly there are multiple property management places like this in Portland that care 0 about ppl and are just looking to make money. who rarely answer the phone and are non communicative because they feel they don't have to be. any properties I see with this management I wouldn't bother with. read more

I identified a slow pipe leak that caused damage to the wall, the floor, and my bathroom interior. I have had a hole in my apartment since June, that opens up the wall between my bathroom and the common hallway. Communicating with BH has absolutely failed - miserably - and nobody should have to let their neighbors hear and smell bathroom sounds like this for months. They conveniently forgot that it was an unresolved issue, then blew it off saying that construction crews are overloaded. I would have given them better marks if they had communicated this to me as well as a timeline with some kind of get well plan but their response was nothing more than a virtual shrug. read more

WARNING This company engages in prejudicial practices, and discriminates towards residents of color. There's a separate set of rules, guidelines, and billing/ fines for white, and non white people. This even includes how complaints are filed, or handled. Aside from this, they have taken advantage of elderly residents who were enrolled in their automatic pay program. There are times that they overcharged elderly residents, or even charged them for months of late fees after their autopay program glitched, and purged people from auto pay without their knowledge. Even for myself I've noticed that I have been charged for late fees even though my payments were sent before their due date. Their billing system causes residents to pay more money in fines which are profitable for them. Their statements are intentionally misleading so that you're left to question what you owe every month.This is also true when it comes to complaints filed resulting in fines. I encourage anybody that has bad dealings with this company to file a report with the Better Business Bureau to resolve issues.Maynard Tye is our agent and he has been the downfall of our community, and our HOA.Since their management our property has fallen into a state of disrepair, our HOA accounts, and property repairs have been mismanaged causing fees to increase drastically to accommodate costs.From reading other Yelp reviews, this is obviously a systemic problem in their company because this seems to be their practice with multiple properties that they run.Please do not hire this company, or rent from them. . read more

Seriously, this is the worst property management company. I literally have water bubbling up from the ground in my backyard ....broken pipe according to city officials...and they are just letting it run because none of their plumbing vendors are available. Well, MAYBE GO OFF TOUR FRIGGIN VENDOR LIST.....this is a damn emergency. It's not my problem that your vendors are not licensed for the state of Washington. I moved here five months ago. Upon arrival we had to break into the house because no one had bothered to send me the code, even though I reminded them twice during the week before the move. But they didn't and all went home for the weekend. No one on call for these kind of things. Twice since then our sump pump has switched itself off and the bottom floor flooded. We also have a garage that smells like a dead body when it gets hot. The office rarely answers the phone. Seriously can't believe how awful this company is. So...I'm gonna go watch the "natural pool" in the back yard expand.......good grief, it's been more than five hours. But the dragonflies are loving it. read more

Avoid dealing with these people. Lie right to your face. Vile. Avoid. One of their employees lied to me for weeks, completely wasting my time just because that was the easiest thing for them. Not for me. It was a very expensive deception. They are scumbags. read more

Absolutely infuriating company to rent from. I cannot stress enough how much of a nightmare they were to deal with. They will treat you like absolute garbage, even if you are the best and most responsible tenant. Them selling the property I lived in was actually a blessing. Literally the worst and most contemptuous customer service I have ever experienced. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SLUMLORD! read more

I rented a studio from Bluestone for a year and have to say I was very impressed w/ the friendly management and responsive maintenance requests. I so enjoyed the surrounding area: an amazing location close to local the food market, fun shops, restaurants, hiking trails and bike path. The neighborhood is quiet with a great community feel. The unit was clean, well kept and had modern appliances. Highly recommend this apartment complex for its excellent value: it was perfect for my needs and the neighborhood was very safe. read more

STAY AWAY - I'm processing a criminal lawsuit against them for private property damage. My car has been repeatedly damaged by the property manager Darcy, I've received a call that they removed my car cover; which messed up my $180 wax and they also stuck a sticker on my car. The glue melted on the window and had to pay $80 at the shop to remove. Worst of all it seemed as someone kicked my door multiple times. I've contacted the owner Cliff H., Pam H., and Darcy regarding the matter. It has been nearly a month and they have not directly contacted me back! TERRIBLE LEADERSHIP I'll post photos of the property damage from the company, if you received property damage as well please message me here. UPDATES: Please don't try and delete my post again. If you do bad work, it should be known. read more

Taylor St. Apartments I'm editing my former 3-star review to be replaced to a 1-star review due to several factors. For starters, our supposed advocate, Assoc. Property Manager Tristan, is a problem both in the way they conduct themself and horrible lack of communication, but because he wouldn't give me the name of his supervisor or contact info, I had to pull a Karen and email the company owner, Mr. Schaff, but he has not replied either. So even more frustration. No one returns calls or emails. I needed a code for the cable guy to get in back after leaving a message two weeks ago and radio silence, even after Tristan was alerted and said he would help! Everything is old and falling apart, they nickel and dime you, and won't fix the wildly creaking upstairs floors. I even once had an emergency where they didn't respond for 3 hours! I highly recommend not living here, and I can't say I will be unless things improve. New mgmt. is just terrible. Seems all the good ones, like Nicole and Angela, have left. No one here now gives a ****. Fun fact: everyone in our complex pays different amounts for utilities regardless of whether I have an identical apartment, so that's something to think about too. Get it together! read more

I cannot give enough praise to our Associate Portfolio Manager, Tristan P. Tristan has been a breath of fresh air, with his excellent level of customer service. Tristan always sends courteous and timely emails to our building regarding any issues that have come up. Tristan was also very caring and considerate about a particular situation we found ourselves in, and he went above and beyond in navigating it. He replies to inquiries and requests promptly, and with genuine concern and care. It feels rare, in the business of apartment renting, to find someone who truly goes out of their way to help, but Tristan is that person, and we are grateful that he is part of the team. read more

incompetent fools. so many complaints. they will revoke access to your apartment building before your lease is up. so you can't go back and clean (Then your charged for that) and then blame you for going at the last minute like most people don't wait till the last day to do that portion of moving out. or have day jobs and have to do it at night? they will ask you to fill out a google form with your bank informatio, if you request direct deposit, and then say that they didn't actually have it. then they will type your new address wrong so you're waiting WAY past the time to get your refund back. they will make you live with water damage in your home for 9 months and delete work orders about without contacting you first. they will charge you for renters insurance even when you send them the information that lists them as an interested party and it's paid for in the year in full. do not waste your time, money, or sanity trying to deal with these people. Their communication skills are 0 and they run through employees like it's cool (Good for all the employees that left honestly) also, they have 0 organization. I had called them with my name because I had a package delivered to the old address and the person that answered asked me if I was still interested in applying to move in. I LIVED WITH THEM FOR 2 YEARS. read more

Not a very concerned property management company and they probably do not care about their bad reviews or bad reputation. Slow response time even to urgent matters. The 3-stars is probably being kind & generous, but I am a person willing to give the benefit of the doubt, thus the 3 stars. I do not why our HOA Board continues to stay with this business, as the state of our property is as shabby as this business is. Very few property managers are efficient; ours is slow, inefficient and not responsive or intuitive. read more

Re 10818 NE Coxley Road Office Suites in the Avenida del Sol shopping complex: Wonderful property management company! So responsive to requests!

We appreciate being tenants here very much! read more

Once again I must praise our condo property manager Taylor at the Encore in the Pearl neighborhood. Last night we had a major Portland Electric power outage affecting over 11,000 customers in the area. Our wonderful manager immediately began notifying our residents of the situation and informing us of what the back up generators do in this type of incident. Taylor is a wonderful woman and concerned about us and I wanted you to know how much I and my neighbors appreciate all that she does for our community everyday... she multi tasks huge projects simultaneously and is an excellent communicator. Please share my deepest gratitude for all she does! read more

This 1-star is based solely on the application process and I'm very grateful someone got the unit I was looking at.... Someone else got the apartment I wanted (in September) so they said they were gonna re-credit my payment method (debit card) and it takes 2-3 business days. After following up constantly, they asked for proof from my bank I did not get the funds back. I sent that to them October 11th. Having heard nothing yet I called today and they said "there is nothing our accounting team can do right now because they credited your account and provided a refund." This "refund" was on 9/30. If they weren't gonna help, why did they ask for this email? Oh and their proof of refund, some number print-out from their "system". Nothing official. No processing or confirmation number. My bank thinks they are shady and trying to see if their is something THEY can do because B&H have done nothing but waste my time and money. read more

I have dropped my annual transportation pass in our apartment complex facility and seek for assistance from our main office.

Please don't go anywhere. read more

Mr. White, I not sure how long you have been in charge of this outfit but there was indeed an incentive via gift cards to place a positive review of your company. A business practice only utilized by the most nefarious of companies. My actions on taking your company up on the offer is truly repeatable as it skews your stellar 2 star rating. As to why I waited so long to write this most honest review: I have moved away from the Portland Market and will no longer have any need to do buisness if your company and would like the good people of Portland know to absolutely stay away from your company. There is a fair amount of damage control and egregious mishaps that your company must address, and to this I say; best of luck. Understand that this review is not done out of spite only do diligence as to warn others. Again time is money and my review can serve as a more than fair warning for others to save thier time, money, and property from companies such as yours that look to take advantage of good people. read more

Piss poor excuse for a property manager. Their emergency line goes to a third-party answering service.

I am going to give Bluestone 3-stars at this point but reserve the right to either raise or lower the score at a later time depending on the outcome. I applied for an apartment on Sunday. 24 hours later I had not heard anything except the email receipt for my application fee. It is now Wednesday. I have called the office multiple time and have emailed leasing@bluestonemgt.com twice (because their voice mail says it is the best way to get a prompt response). Still have not heard back as to whether my application has been processed or if I have the apartment. I am excited about moving, but would hope to get some answers. I did stop by their office yesterday after work and apparently the businesses in their complex closed for the day due to a power outage but I would expect (especially in a post-Covid world), that the staff would have the ability to dial in to check voice mail and/or respond to email requests remotely. The frustrating part is that I am doing everything Bluestone suggests to get answers and still crickets. I really hope someone responds soon or I will need to look for an alternative place to live. Even an email or phone call to say the application is being processed or there are other applicants ahead of me would be nice. Just communicate. It's not that hard. ___________________________________________________________ Updating to 4-stars. Just received a nice text from Jill A. letting me know the unit I was interested in had one applicant in front of me but that the other unit was still available. They are transferring my application over to the other unit and will let me know if my preferred unit gets refused by the other applicant. Very excited to get moved. read more
