No Disruptors - Lodging Newsletter October 31st, 2017

Vacation rental management really is a fun, enjoyable business.

We get to send guests to fun locations to stay in interesting, unique and enjoyable homes. Plus we get to take care of nice properties and send second home owners nice checks earned from renting.

But be warned - the Internet has also spawned carpet baggers who want to "disrupt" the industry with lots of ideas - some good, some not so good, some downright terrible for guests and owners.

Some would tell you they have bigger better marketing tools. Some will tell you they are cheaper, but they hide fees and generate huge online complaints. Some local companies say they provide services the big guys can't match but they don't have enough horse power to do it.

We solve this challenge by offering the best of both worlds.

Every office in our group is locally operated or owned so owners get a real-live manager. Our "back-office" services are shared, allowing every one of us to provide marketing, advertising, phone reservations, accounting and hundreds of other services our competitors can not match.

We market globally, operate locally, and we are here day and night for guests and owners, which makes it fun for everyone.
