About Powell Property Management

Powell Property Management is a division of Powell Homes, Inc., Seattle’s oldest home builder. With a long history of building, owning, and managing residential communities throughout the Puget Sound area, Powell Property Management was created to care for Powell-managed properties with the same level of attention, stewardship, and resident focus that shaped their development.

Today, Powell Property Management manages apartment communities and commercial properties across South King County and the South Puget Sound area. Our work is centered on responsive service, well-maintained properties, and creating a dependable experience for residents, tenants, and the communities we serve.

 

 

Management Philosophy

Our management philosophy has been shaped by Powell’s long history of building, owning, and managing properties throughout the Puget Sound area. Our guiding principle is based on the Golden Rule: treating others the way we would like to be treated. That belief influences how we care for our properties, communicate with residents and tenants, and support the communities we manage.

As property owners and managers, we place a high value on responsiveness, preventative maintenance, integrity, and long-term stewardship. Our goal is to maintain properties with care, provide a dependable experience for residents and tenants, and make decisions that support the lasting quality of each community.

Since 1909, Powell has been in the people business. We strive to create places where residents and tenants feel comfortable, safe, respected, and supported while maintaining the standards and values that have shaped our company for generations.

CORE VALUES

Every decision we make is guided by a simple purpose: to enrich lives and build community. We carry that mission forward through five core values. This keeps the section’s meaning but removes the third-party owner-service language, which better matches the updated direction to emphasize Powell’s owned communities, quality housing, responsive resident service, and long-term stewardship. 

1. Be Dedicated
2. Be Optimistic
3. Be Trustworthy
4. Embrace Change
5. Seek to Understand

We love living here. Powell fosters a neighborly feeling, keeping everything kept up and working, and having outdoor places for neighbors to meet. We have the privacy of our own "home" while having wonderful connections every time we walk out our door. It says a lot when you look forward to seeing your neighbors. On a very personal note, when a family emergency came up we were able to have rent payments automatically made from our bank and receive texts for any updates, while there were days we didn't open email. We felt very taken care of so we could be about the care of our family. For so many reasons, we are so happy to live here.
"I'm proud to be a resident of this property. It's beautifully kept, grounds and everything. Powell Property Management really knows how to create and maintain a really attractive environment."
I rented a house from Powell for 8 years. While the house was older and came with it's own issues, they we're always super reasonable and fair with rent increases. Move out was an easy process. Sandra was always kind and responsive! As far as property managers go, they're great!
I have no issues with this property management whatsoever. The staff was very polite; maintenance was always efficient, and I never had any pest problems or issues with my neighbors or the complex. I had to move after 3 years but I will be back with them.
