TIFFANY AGUILAR, Owner
Tiffany grew up in Sisters and after graduating from the University of Oregon decided to take on big city life in San Francisco where she worked in marketing for some top-name advertising agencies and tech companies.
But as the old saying goes, she left her heart in Central Oregon. She bought a home in beloved Bend and rented it out until they decided to come home. Tiffany realized firsthand the needs and gaps with property management and wanted to take the Central Oregon housing market to new heights.
She and her husband have two young boys and three fur babies she adores. She loves scuba diving, reading, Oregon Ducks football and exploring beautiful Central Oregon.
Brian Bornfleth, Owner
Brian was born and raised in the Midwest. After a stint in the Navy and 20 years in the corporate world, Brian spent time in the Bay Area managing housing needs for companies like Apple, eBay, Cisco, PayPal, and Google.
Brian moved to Bend with his wife, Shelly, and three kids in 2016 because it felt like the perfect combination of “Minnesota nice” and West Coast living with beautiful scenery and outdoorsy lifestyle. He wanted to bring his expertise in property management to Central Oregon and give owners and tenants the positive experience they deserve.
When Brian is not making EPM the best property management company in the area, you’ll find Brian hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, camping or enjoying a beer at a local brewery.
Shelly bornfleth, Operations Manager
Shelly first started helping the growing EPM here and there until she finally left her long-time teaching career to join the team as a leasing agent. Now she uses her skills in planning and preparation as the Operations Manager and keeps things running smoothly from property intake to unit turnovers.
Originally from Minnesota, Shelly and her family made an adventurous move to the Bay Area. But a trip to Bend changed all that and for the past 6 years she and her husband, Brian, have called Central Oregon home. With all three kids out of high school or in college, Shelly enjoys more time for reading, walking her two dogs on the many beautiful trails in Bend or learning new hobbies like snowboarding, mountain biking and baking sourdough bread.
Brad Hays, Maintenance Manager
Brad was born in Bend and raised in Central Oregon before he and his wife ventured to Newport for 19 years where he worked for a family-owned business in several roles from managing a towing company and storage facility to maintaining and managing their residential rental properties. His goal with EPM is to provide superior service to tenants and homeowners alike through great communication and problem solving.
A fly fishing trip with his family on the Deschutes River gave Brad a strong pull to return to his roots and settle back in Central Oregon. Brad and his wife are now empty nesters who enjoy spoiling and spending time with their two grandchildren, ATV riding on the dunes, and spending time outdoors camping or enjoying the great Central Oregon lifestyle.
Braun Shaughnessy, Leasing Agent
Braun is the newest member of our growing team. She is thrilled to join a company whose mission is to elevate service to owners and tenants. Braun's professional experience is rooted in education, which makes her aptly prepared for organization, working closely with people on a personal level, and handling the curveballs life throws at us all with grace and professionalism. Her personal experience with property ownership and construction makes her a great addition to the EPM family.
A recent transplant to Bend, she spends most of her time watching her three children play sports all across Oregon, Washington and California. You will also find her walking her dog along one of the many trails Bend is lucky to have. As a family, the Shaughnessy's love alpine skiing, off-roading, paddle boarding, and eating!
