We are local so our service is faster and more tailored to our owners needs. Being locals also ensures guests receive special attention that delivers five star reviews that in turn generate more revenue for our owners.

8. Guest Damage: What is your approach to managing damages caused by guests? Do you require a security deposit or offer damage insurance? If you opt for insurance, how do you establish the coverage details?

The guests pay for damage insurance that covers the costs of any damage to the property over $100. In addition we run background checks on the guest reserving a property and we require ID and a signed detailed rental agreement from the guest reserving the property. Part of our requires the guest to detail each party staying at the property and their age.

9. Revenue Management: Please explain your strategy for revenue management? How do you determine pricing to optimize earnings? Do you utilize dynamic pricing software, manage rates manually, or employ a combination of both methods?

We utilized the top rated dynamic pricing software to make certain our pricing is competitive. In addition we regularly will manually over ride pricing formulas based upon neighborhood and events in the Vail Valley.

10. Community Involvement and Reputation: Are you involved in the local community and do you support local initiatives?

Matt, our owner was raised in the Vail Valley before graduating from the University of Georgia business school and returning to the Valley. He has cultivated long term relationships with local vendors and contractors to ensure his clients get the best service and pricing in the Valley.
