Our company motto is “Our family serving yours.” Not only does our company operate much like a large family, but we do our best to treat everyone we come in contact with like our family as well. In order to reach out to our owners, tenants, board members and community association residents, we will be posting updates to this blog on a regular basis. Our hope is not only that we can keep you updated with company and personal news but also provide general information relating to everyone involved with property management, as well as legislative and trade association updates: a little of everything if you will.
To get us started, let’s meet the staff of Bell-Anderson!
First off, our fabulous owners Tim and Vickie Gaskill: they bought Bell-Anderson in September of 2002 from Gerry Anderson, who started the company in 1963 with Don Bell, Jr. Vickie Gaskill joined Bell-Anderson in 1986, and worked as the General Manager for the last three years before she bought the company. Vickie has earned four professional property management designations (CPM®, ARM®, MPM®, and RMP®) and serves as an instructor on the national faculty for the Institute of Real Estate Management and the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM®). In 2010, Vickie will become the national President of NARPM®. What an accomplishment! Tim Gaskill works as our all-around handyman and police contact. Together Tim and Vickie foster a sense of family that is enjoyed and appreciated by all of the staff. In their spare time, they like to spend time at the ocean and spoil their three grandchildren.

Our community associations department is made up of three property managers, two bookkeepers and a few support staff.
Property manager Ken Allen, CPM ®, ARM ®, CMCA®, AMS® has been in the industry since 1978 and is an active member of the Institute of Real Estate Management.
According to Brandon Benavides, another community association manager, “Family, friends, work and sports are my life.” He is our resident baseball expert and coach.

Jenise Doty is the most recent association manager to join the Bell-Anderson family, but has been in the property management industry for over 20 years. She also works selling real estate and loves quilting and gardening.
Stephanie Durham, our condo support person assists all of the property managers. Her real estate career began as a Realtor in Southern California, and in 2006 she earned (and still maintains) her Washington Mortgage Broker’s license.

Jennifer Collins works as the accounts payable bookkeeper. She received her Human Resources degree from Eastern Washington University. Stefanie Octave, a West Virginia native, recently earned her Washington Salesperson’s license and is our accounts receivable bookkeeper. Together, Jennifer and Stefanie’s bright smiles and April fool’s jokes keep our office laughing.
On the residential rentals side, there are three property managers, a full-time maintenance coordinator and one bookkeeper.
Carrie Fjeld, ARM®, RMP® manages the majority of Bell-Anderson’s apartment communities, as well as single family units. She is busy serving on the convention committee for NARPM’s 2009 national conference, and will co-chair the 2010 convention in Seattle.

Dawn Hardley, ARM® began her property management career in commercial management, and now manages single and small multi-family units. She is an avid outdoorswoman, enjoying camping, fly fishing and photography.
Residential manager Kasey Medina recently joined NARPM and is looking forward to working toward her first professional property manager’s designation after having graduated from Central Washington with a Business degree in December of 2008.
Maria Garcia works as our Maintenance Coordinator and all-around smart and helpful person. She has been with Bell-Anderson for 10 years, and usually knows the answer to most of our questions. In her spare time she enjoys basketball and spending time with her family.
Maria & Kasey
Shannon Richardson works as both the Residential and Corporate bookkeeper. She has been with Bell-Anderson for 9 years and loves golfing in her free time.
Last but certainly not least is Debi Alexander, our front desk coordinator. She may be the most familiar person to the majority of our clients, and her hard work and organization keep our front desk running smoothly.
