office@garciagrp

Vanessa was born and raised in Portland, and she has always enjoyed exploring her hometown. From the art galleries to the cafés and restaurants – she has been to them all. Yet, it wasn’t until she graduated from St. Mary’s Academy that she discovered her true passion. At the age of 18, Vanessa was introduced to property management and has since developed her career within the industry.

Just like her exploration of Portland, she has ventured through many aspects of property management and real estate, but she’s found her favorite role to be in accounting/office administration. In 2017 she became the Office Administrator for The Garcia Group, then in 2021 she was promoted to Operations, and we are extremely fortunate to have her.

Vanessa focuses on the company financials and record-keeping. She approaches and resolves the many and diverse accounting concerns as they arise.  Her excellent customer service skills and keen eye for detail makes her a valuable player on our team. With her commitment to personal development, she helps us to succeed in managing properties throughout the Portland Metropolitan and surrounding areas. Her focus on the numbers and commitment to the overall professionalism of The Garcia Group plays a significant part in creating an excellent experience for both owners and tenants.

Karla Hoffart

Inspections Coordinator

(Ext.1010)

inspections@garciagrp
Karla has over 20 years of experience in both the accounting and construction industries. Her extensive knowledge is equaled only by her attention to detail and a “forensic approach” to getting to the bottom of things. Property Management is complex, with multiple layers. Managing workflow, triaging emergencies, keeping detailed records and customer service is a daily balancing act.

“Tenants can be upset at times when they call us. Owners can occasionally get frustrated. I find it rewarding to be the calm in the center of their storm. My husband is in construction, and I worked with him for many years, so I know many of the service vendors well and trust them to provide an accurate evaluation of the cost and timeline.”

Karla’s keen sense of focus and her priority for documenting details are the key to her success and are among her many experienced traits that she generously shares with the entire staff.
