That depends on where you are in the process! 

• If you do not have a property yet, we can connect you to our preferred realtor, Dr. Kayla Keys, where the three of us can discuss the best options for your situation!
• If you have a space but have not started renting it yet we will set up an appointment with our interior designer so we can get you space furnished in a way that will attract the most guests and get the space professionally photographed once that’s complete.
• If you’re already listed but want to increase your income, we will set up an appointment to look at your listing and your space and offer concrete options to increase your revenue.

In any case, drop us a line and we will get to work for you!

For starters, you will need a Short Term Rental permit (either commercial or residential). If you plan to utilize our property management services your listing will utilize our Short Term Rental Operator Permit, but if not you will need your own. Next, to maximize your earnings, you will want to ensure the space is presented as well as possible to potential guests – this can be accomplished via our interior designer, professional photography, and listing creation services. Of course each property is unique due to its location, amenities, and other factors but we require all of our units to have certain amenities to ensure they are competitive in the local market. Drop us a line today to get started!

Absolutely! We provide an owner’s portal for our clients which allows you to block days on the calendar as needed.

Yes – we distribute your listing to VRBO, Expedia, TripAdvisor, Home2Go, and almost 100 other platforms. Our powerful Channel Manager and Property Management Software ensures consistency across platforms without the worry of double bookings.

In addition to requiring all of our units to have ring cameras so we can monitor for over occupancy and/or parties, we screen each guest’s profile and ask a series of questions to verify details and ensure good intentions if any red flags are noticed. For reservations outside of Airbnb, we collect and hold deposits and our payment processor also alerts us of potentially suspicious transactions. We also make sure to remind all of our guests about local regulations regarding occupancy limits and parties.

Of course, there is not a guaranteed way to avoid troublesome guests and, on rare occasions, damage does occur. While we always strongly recommend each of our clients have homeowner’s insurance that covers short term rentals, in the event our team finds damaged or missing property we immediately create a written and photo record of the incident. For Airbnb guests, we’ll document the incident and submit a resolution center claim where we have a 100% success rate for obtaining full reimbursement for damages. For all other guests we will utilize their deposit to cover the costs.
