Our Team

Cammie Allie, President

In October 2009, Cammie Allie, CPM®, ARM®, saw the realization of her dream when she founded Fortress Property Management, specializing in multifamily property management.
After pursuing two dissatisfying careers during her young adult life, Cammie Allie discovered IREM (the Institute of Real Estate Management) after she’d been a site manager for six years. Seeing its value, she set out to obtain her ARM® (Accredited Residential Manager) certification. In 2001, she began attending meetings, and she was chairing the local ARM® committee by 2002, thanks to mentoring from Julie Muir, CPM®. After receiving her ARM®, she immediately set her sights on her CPM®, which she earned in 2008.
Within her tenure of property management, Cammie enjoyed working with such companies as Parker Investments, U.S. Bank Trust Group, Summit Property Management, Guardian Management, Harsch Investment, SkyNat Property Management, and GSL Properties. Because of the wide array of properties she has directly supervised, she is highly experienced in all types of multifamily management, from conventional property to Section 8, and has several years of tax credit experience. This has led to an impressive perspective on how various property management is conducted throughout the Portland metro area.
Locally, she has held the following positions: ARM® committee chair, 2002 to 2004; AMO® committee chair, 2005; program committee chair, 2006; VP of Education, 2007; VP of Communications, 2008; second Member at Large, 2009; third Member at Large, 2010. On a national level, she has held the following positions: national governing councilor from 2006 to present; membership committee member from 2006 to 2008; JPM committee member, 2008; vice chair of membership, 2009; chair of membership committee, 2010. Moreover, for the local chapter of IREM, she is the former recipient of the presidents’ award in 2004 and 2005 and the CPM® candidate of the year award winner in 2006 and 2007.
Each move Cammie made throughout her career in property management brought her another step closer to her goals. Her last two positions prior to beginning Fortress were not advertised, but because of her IREM involvement, she was highly visible and approached for both positions. IREM helped reinforce her resume, and various members, both locally and nationally, continuously cheered her on. Sixteen years ago, she would never have thought she had the resources or support to start her own company. However, because of the contacts she made through IREM, she received not only emotional support but also support from friends of IREM, who gave Fortress Property Management firsthand rates, which they were able to pass on to their owners.
Cammie also credits MMHA (Metro Multifamily Housing Association) for their support in her career growth. Receiving the title of Manager of the Year in 2000 helped boost her recognition and give her the confidence to achieve the next level of success continually.
Now that she has attained the CPM® and achieved the goals she set for herself, she will continue giving back to an industry that has treated her so well. She loves nothing more than helping others grow their careers, finding it extremely fulfilling to mentor other people along their journeys.
Married over fifteen years, Cammie Allie has three beautiful children. When she’s not working, which is rare, she enjoys spending time with her family and volunteering at her church. When she is in need of downtime, she can be found on her family homestead in the mountains.
