Short Term Rental Manager Sacramento

We have very strong on line presence: our direct booking website, Airbnb, VRBO, Expedia, Google, Booking.com, Zillow, etc.

Our property management team in is known for providing our owners with quick results and quality guests. On average it takes from 1 to 5 days to get the property’s first booking. However, it depends on many factors such as seasonality, proper pricing, condition, and location. When we meet for the initial interview, our team member will be able to advise you on how to make your home more appealing to renters.

We do sign an initial 1 year agreement, however we believe that if a relationship is not working out, there’s no reason to stay in it. If you are not 100% happy the agreement can be terminated by either party upon 90 days written notice.

Absolutely! It is your property after all. We will perform a market analysis for your property and make recommendations on the price, deposits, length of the agreement and other terms, but you get the final say. The same goes for the guest selection. We will conduct a thorough background search and present the results along with our recommendations to you, but you make the final call. Now how many of our competitors in the Denver area can say that?

Our goal is to pay by the 10th of each month or sooner. This depends on when the payouts clears with the bank, processors, and whether we have any bills/invoices to pay on your behalf.

Yes. We visit the guests at least once per week if there is a turnover/vacancy. We make sure they don’t have pets they didn’t claim on the booking, we make sure they are not smoking in your property, that they take good care of it, and that they are complying with all the rules and laws. Unlike most of our competitors, we do not charge for this and strongly believe it is part of managing. We will do additional visits if requested. We also tell homeowners to pass our cards to the neighbors and have them call us if they notice anything out of the ordinary. Additionally, every time there’s a repair request or cleaning, all of our contractors are trained to report back to us on the condition of the home. So there are several sets of eyes on your property.

We have a wide variety of tested and trusted contractors. We do not up charge for maintenance, or get any kick backs from our contractors, unlike most property management companies. We believe in delivering the best value to you. In most cases we get discounts on volume and we pass those savings on to you. A guest can call us with a repair request or submit a repair request. We are also able to receive emergency calls 24 hours a day. No more sleepless nights for you. If the repair doesn’t exceed $400, we will authorize our contractor to take care of it on the spot. In case of emergency, we will get a contractor to come out as soon as possible and will notify you just as soon as we can.

Unfortunately this does happen sometimes. We will post all the initial paperwork at no additional cost to you, and will turn it over to our attorneys at which point there will be a charge from the attorney. Depending on the county, evictions can take from 30 to 60 days and can cost on average $2000-3000, in very rare cases, the cost can go up to $5,000 or more.

Our agreement expressly prohibits smoking. If, during our semi annual inspection, we notice any smoke odors, we will have another party come in to confirm the fact, we will start the dialogue with the guest and will inform them that it is an agreement violation and they will be charged a violation fee to pay for smoke removal and excess cleaning. We will do several follow up visits to ensure compliance; and proceed with eviction if needed. Guest’s deposit can be used to remedy the odor.

Let’s just say that on average 52% of pet owners travel with pets. It is up to you whether you allow it or not, but you will open your property up to a lot more potential and qualified guests if you do allow pets. We collect small additional pet deposit and have the guests agree to strict rules that can result in additional charges. We understand your concern in this area, and will do our best to match the right guest for your needs. AIRBNB

We do not have an owner’s portal for accounting, but we will provide a monthly report of income and expenses.

Your local property manager can help with any questions about housekeeping, maintenance, and hourly billing—you’ll find their contact information in the on-boarding email sent to you.

Homefront has a highly specialized team of writers who craft detailed including all of the property’s amenities. These descriptions are complemented by high-quality photos.

We use exclusive technology to charge fluid prices that automatically adjust based on market conditions. This method of  dynamic pricing relies on advanced algorithms that factor in millions of data points to set the right price, for the right customer, at the right time. On top of that, regional revenue management teams go over your rates to make manual adjustments based on knowledge of local events, weather, and more.

You have the option to place an occupancy limit on your home. If you opt not to do so, we’ll set the maximum occupancy based on the number of beds, fire codes, and any local/state/HOA regulations that may apply. Our Good Neighbor Policy prohibits large gatherings or parties from taking place—and in some homes, we install noise monitoring software that alerts our team if the volume reaches a certain threshold. We also monitor occupancy by creating relationships with neighbors to ensure that residents feel comfortable contacting us with any issues.

Homefront carries insurance to cover some damages. Upon guest check-out, we assess damage and make any necessary repairs as soon as possible.

To keep up with demand, our housekeepers are working around the clock to ensure that homes are clean and ready for guests. In an ideal world, we might have the same housekeeper clean specific homes—and in some cases that does happen, where the housekeeper visits a home several times within a month.

Given the volume of homes and reservations, we cannot guarantee that the same housekeeper cleans your home each time. But, you can expect that he or she is part of a tight-knit team that communicates regularly.

Yes, this is a popular method for generating revenue during the slow season.

We abide by all local regulations on vacation rentals and never operate where short-term rentals aren’t permitted. That said, if a market proposes or implements measures that we find unreasonable, our government relations team is prepared to proactively lobby in favor of vacation rentals and the benefits they bring to local communities.
