For Vacation Property owners points to consider when selecting a vacation rental management company:

• Make sure your selected company has referrals from property owners that are currently managing. Some owners do not like to be contacted so respect their privacy.

• There is a difference between onsite/hoa (home owner association controlled) management and independent management companies. Ask if there is a rotation for your property or do you individually focus on occupancy for my condo/home. After speaking with several independent management firms in Panama City Beach we have come to the conclusion that a individually focus property manager nets stronger revenue results than the comparison above. Advantages to onsite/hoa managers is convenience of office usually located onsite.

• Does the potential management company charge the owners for processing of credit cards, the guest or neither.

• Does the property management company in question use a large cleaning company or a smaller cleaning company. Again, the better approach upon question several owner and managers the higher the cleaning fee and the size of the cleaning company matters. Cleaners that have 10-20 accounts can give more attention and rather than having a staff that has to clean 20 or more often within 6 hours can get tricky (often times referred to as FLIP – ie. Cleaning for a Saturday checkout for a Saturday check in). Smaller companies often times paid more to their cleaners resulting in a more quality job with greater controls.

• Ask how the proposed management company will handle maintenance and updates. Does the management company double invoice (they make bill you on top of the contractors work)?

• Will the management company plot out the marketing for my property and does this require any upfront monies from me?

The above point should get you started in the right direction for dialogue in selecting your next vacation rental property management company. Of course, there are several options for managing your property yourself – Just know how much time this will consume and that you must have a great Team here locally for support.
