Beyond leading the team at TTVP, she is passionate about helping fellow VR business owners and operators solve their unique challenges and create ease within their businesses and within themselves.
In 2023, vacation rental managers face a new challenge. While the consumer demand for travel is strong, the competition for occupancy is fierce.

As investors continue to discover the VR market it seems that more and more locally branded rental companies are being absorbed into mega-size brands. While at first this might seem a bit scary to the locally owned small businesses, experience is showing that this is actually great news! Sure, they might try to steal your inventory by offering unsustainable discounting and tout about their tech stack, if you take actions such as these you can outmaneuver them every time.
Understand that many owners are emotionally connected to their homes – it’s more than just an investment. Create a simple system for your owner services reps to communicate personally “touch” each owner every 4 months, including the “quiet” ones. (It takes far less time than imagined.)
- Employee loyalty is created by more than just a paycheck. How to nurture and grow it because...
- Your people are your superpower. How to make them highly visible and readily accessible.
- Provide mediums for your guests and owners to share their stories.
- Every member of your staff is part of marketing, including the lawn guy and linen room attendant. (You'll hear evidence to proof it!)
