A Brief history lesson...
The internet changed the vacation rental industry forever. New increased visibility made it so much easier to find places to stay on vacation, and business started booming. All owners had to do was list their home on a website and the bookings would come.
Since then, things have changed. Most markets have become saturated with rentals- all vying for business. Everyone and their cousin has taken their house, spare bedroom, or futon couch and thrown it up on the web.
Gone are the days where people could just fall into the business and be an instant success.
Has something like this happened over time in your area?
The good news?
The demand for vacation rentals continues to grow each year, as people want a unique travel experience that hotels can't offer.

about me...
I have spent my professional career working in the vacation rental industry marketing rentals throughout the US, Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
I have worked alongside dozens of different property management companies, and know their business models.
I am an experienced vacation rental sales agent, having worked directly with hundreds of clients. I have seen all the different travel scenarios and group dynamics and know what travelers look for in a vacation rental home.
I have set up and managed dozens of listings on vacation rental websites such as Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway, and FlipKey.
I am certified in Google Adwords, and have helped manage large-scale online advertising (SEM) campaigns specifically for vacation rental homes.
JUST A FEW WAYS I CAN HELP...
Analyze your Marketplace - explore the competition, the expectations of guests, and determine how to best position your home to win over business.
Evaluate your Home - conduct a professional examination of your online presence, identifying your strengths and weaknesses as a business.
Identify your Target - find your target demographic, identifying what they look for in a rental, and how to meet and exceed their expectations.
Distinguish your Rental- photograph your home, write a compelling description, and highlight what separates you from the pack.
Market your Home - Build a beautiful website and set up shop on listing sites that best fit your rental goals. Explore marketing tools that work to extend your reach and maximize your exposure to potential guests.
Prepare your Response - teach you best practices to turn rental inquiries into renters, set expectations, and create automation systems to save you time.
Gather your Feedback - encourage guest reviews to further promote your property through the positive opinions of others. Handle negative reviews and turn them into something positive.
