A Property Manager Finds Renters

Where would you find a trusted renter for your home? On Craig’s List? Yikes! A Short Term Rental Property Manager has resources that you don’t have, which will ensure that you find quality tenants. Most Managers collaborate with other companies to help you get exactly the right tenant for your own little “Bed and Breakfast”, and when he is discovered, we help you take care of the paperwork too!

How DO you decide what to charge?

A Short Term Property Manager will analyze your home. He will take into account your square footage, special features and details, local area rental rates, and other neighborhood variables. He will give you the best price to charge for your home depending on the season, local amenities and other important factors. Likewise, he will also be honest and tell you if your expectations are way out of range.
