Equal Employment Opportunity Statement
VPMG Property Management — operating as Vancouver Property Group LLC — is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We provide equal employment opportunities to all applicants and employees without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, pregnancy, marital status, veteran status, military status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, Washington State, or local law.
This commitment applies to all aspects of employment including recruiting, hiring, compensation, benefits, training, advancement, discipline, termination, and any other term or condition of employment.
Our Approach to Hiring
When VPMG hires staff or engages independent contractors, we evaluate candidates based on their qualifications, skills, experience, and professional conduct. We do not make employment decisions based on personal characteristics unrelated to job performance. We believe that the best team is one built on merit and mutual respect, not homogeneity.
Our hiring process is designed to reduce bias:
- Job postings describe role requirements in clear, objective terms and avoid language that could discourage qualified candidates from underrepresented groups
- Candidates are evaluated against the same criteria and asked the same substantive questions
- Employment decisions are made by the designated broker based on documented qualifications and professional fit
- References are checked consistently for all final candidates
An Inclusive Workplace
VPMG is committed to creating and maintaining a workplace where every person who works with or for us feels welcomed, respected, and able to contribute fully. Harassment, discrimination, and hostile conduct have no place in our work environment. This standard applies to all employees, contractors, and vendors acting on behalf of VPMG, as well as in interactions with clients, tenants, and the public.
Anti-Harassment
VPMG prohibits harassment of any kind, including verbal, physical, or visual conduct that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. This includes harassment based on any protected characteristic. Any person who believes they have experienced or witnessed harassment in connection with VPMG is encouraged to report it promptly to the designated broker at info@vancouverpmg.com. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled confidentially to the greatest extent practicable.
Reasonable Accommodations in Employment
VPMG provides reasonable accommodations to qualified applicants and employees with disabilities as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Washington State law, where doing so does not create an undue hardship. Any applicant or employee who needs an accommodation should contact us to discuss the accommodation request. We engage in a good-faith interactive process to identify effective and reasonable solutions.
Diversity in Our Contractor Network
VPMG also recognizes the value of diversity in the vendors and contractors we work with. When selecting maintenance contractors, inspection services, and other vendors, we consider qualifications and performance as primary factors. We do not exclude vendors on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, national origin, or other protected characteristics. We are open to working with minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses in Clark County and welcome such vendors to contact us about working together.
Professional Development and Advancement
VPMG is a small company, and career advancement opportunities are naturally limited by our size. However, we are committed to ensuring that any professional development, training, or advancement opportunities available within the company are offered without discrimination. Staff members who express interest in expanding their role, acquiring new skills, or pursuing licensing are encouraged and supported equitably.

VPMG complies with all applicable federal and Washington State employment laws, including:
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
- The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
- The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)
- The Pregnancy Discrimination Act
