About Us

Centurion is somewhat of a local success story – starting out from the ground floor over two decades ago to build and grow into one of the best mid-sized property management companies in the Willamette Valley. The company continues to look for ways to offer additional layers of service to the already robust offering of client services. Centurion specializes in the management of houses, plexes, apartment complexes, land, property and more. The company excels at property turnarounds and repositioning of properties as well as staying current with the local industry and trends.

Centurion Real Estate Management, LLC is a full-service property management company. We have years of experience in the business and are rapidly growing throughout the Mid-Willamette Valley. We manage everything from residential houses, small-plexes, condos, multifamily apartment complexes and large multifamily apartment communities as well as large commercial buildings.

Centurion specializes in customer service. We believe that personal and personable interaction with tenants helps to ensure a happy tenancy and fewer vacancies.

Our highly trained team of uniformed maintenance technicians are capable of handling all general maintenance work orders, along with a great network of outside vendors. We are available 24/7 to handle any “emergency”, however, we work hard at preventative maintenance and regular thorough on-site inspections to help eliminate problematic situations.

We strive for excellence and our goal is to be the best property management company in Oregon. Part of reaching this goal requires us to be very hands-on. Our job is to be the eyes and ears at the property and manage in an efficient, cost-effective manner and report back to the owners. Attention to detail and excellent communication are our specialties.

“Our mission is to serve…serve our investors by helping them acquire properties that perform as expected; our Clients by taking care of their properties as if they were our own; our Residents by providing them with a pleasant rental experience; and our Staff by constantly training them and helping them reach their highest professional potential.”

Jesse Barnes

Operations Manager

As you'll read a little bit about me and my success in the real estate industry, I am even more proud of my life outside of real estate. My wife (Alli) and our three beautiful, strong, and smart kids (Olivia, Makenna, and Blake), are what I am most proud of.

My experience in real estate is not only well documented but a passion of mine. I come from a real estate investment background. Aside from being a real estate investor, I am the owner of Arise Real Estate Management (located in Redmond/Bend), and I am the Operations Manager for Centurion Real Estate Management located in Salem (one of the largest real estate investment management firms in Oregon which we have grown from 450 units when I started in 2015 to 2000 units today).

I also have a Business degree from Oregon State University (GO BEAVS). My clients have ranged from first-time buyers/sellers to seasoned investors looking to add to their portfolio or 10-31 into a different investment property.
