About Us

• Longest, Most Respected in the Business

  Since 1962, Windermere Property Management has been offering exceptional property management and quality rental services to commercial and residential rental owners in Bellingham and Whatcom County. Owner, Doug Wight, has a commitment to keeping tenants satisfied and making owners lives easier while growing a profit.  Through years of experience this company has developed systems with those goals in mind.

• Tenant Respect

  A happy commercial tenant stays longer, improves the bottom line, and respects the property in which they’ve established their business.  Many rental companies see the tenant as a “product.”  Windermere Property Management views all renters as important people who deserve courtesy and clear lease guidelines.  Our office offers courteous, efficient assistance with an accessible, friendly staff, on-call maintenance care, and fair leases.  Our job is matching businesses to their perfect space and property owners to the best, most qualified tenants.

• Owner Relationships

  Windermere is the largest local residential and commercial property manager due to our service approach.  By keeping up with the latest technology in the business, knowing the local market and providing excellent results, we are able to provide a progressive culture you can’t find in other companies.  We communicate and invest our time in you.  We make it easier for you to own your property without the hassle involved with day to day management.  Simplify your life – hire a Windermere professional to handle your maintenance, accounting and tenant issues.

• Minimizing Legal Liability

  Our staff is constantly keeping up on the latest rental law, making sure leases are appropriately updated, procedures are followed, and the maze of legal liability is navigated.  We screen for safe and appropriate tenants.  We watch for potential problems.  We represent your interests in local issues.  It’s our job.  It will give you peace of mind.

• Profitable Management

  We recognize that your asset must be cared for in a manner that will bring you a return for as long as you own the property.  We have a 24-hour maintenance team.  We perform regular inspections for both current and potential problems, and we bring them to your attention.  By being proactive, we help you coordinate long-term solutions while avoiding the extra expenses of future problems.  In addition, your financial statements are always accessible online and we are available to answer your questions.  We work to keep your vacancies full and have safe and secure payment systems.
