About Me
Hi, my name is Sara, and I am the Senior Director of Business Development with 5 years of experience in real estate and property management. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh PA, and recently moved to Miami, Florida. I am passionate about building long-term relationships with owners and helping them experience the true freedom that comes from investing with the right people and operations. I find purpose in bringing a positive, collaborative energy to every conversation, always striving to achieve common goals and drive success.
What I Love About Bend & Central Oregon
Bend has an incredible mix of outdoor adventure and amazing local spots that make it feel like home. One of my favorite places to grab a bite is Spork, where I always order their mouthwatering Green Curry with crispy pork belly—it’s the perfect mix of bold flavors and comfort. On the weekends, you’ll find me floating down the Deschutes River or catching live music at Hayden Homes Amphitheater, soaking in the unbeatable atmosphere that makes Bend so special.

About US
Hi, we are Joanne Oh and Aaron Carpenter, a married US Army Veteran couple with roots in both the east and west coast. While serving in the Army as Logistics officers, and stationed in different parts of the world, we had the opportunity to travel to over 40 countries and experience diverse cultures which set the foundation for our pursuit within vacation rental management. During our travel experiences, we realized the quality of lodgings directly affected the quality of our experience in that particular destination. We are excited to create a well curated experience for others, as well as guide travelers to local niche spots in Bend and Central Oregon.
What We Love About Bend & Central Oregon
We fell in love with Bend a few years ago and decided that we wanted to be a part of this wonderful community and share in the beauty of Bend and Central Oregon. When we are not working, you can find us going on outdoor adventures such as hiking to Smith Rock, grabbing lattes at Backporch in downtown, and enjoying our favorite local eats and wine at Jackson’s Corner.
