How Trip Home Share Works
Trip Home Share provides top of the line short term rental property management; Sit back, relax and let us take care of everything. We start by meeting or speaking on the phone and helping you get your property 5 star ready.
STEP 1 - Consultation
Schedule Call
The first step is to understand your needs and goals for your property by setting up a phone call. This also provides the opportunity to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding short term rentals or how exactly our services work.
Property Inspection
During the initial in-person property inspection, our team will analyze the unique needs of the property, and provide recommendations regarding interior design, furniture, kitchenware, and other guest amenities that are required before renting.
Home Staging
Each home is unique, which is why we work to highlight what makes your place stand out. Once all required items have been purchased and the property is professionally cleaned and staged, we will take professional photos to begin marketing the rental through our online travel agency partners.
STEP 2 - Listing Setup
Door locks, Keys and information
Next, we will collect at least 2 sets of keys for the property and gather essential information for guests, such as wifi details, location/access of amenities, and any other necessary instructions to ensure a comfortable stay in your home unit or hotel.
Listing Development
After we get a better understanding of the property, we’ll put together a marketing strategy for each booking platform to create optimized and transparent listings. Once the listings are created, we will provide an owner login portal for 24/7 access to the booking calendar and revenue tools.
Price Optimization
Since proper pricing is the key to revenue management, our team of pricing analysts are constantly monitoring market trends and individual property performance to keep our rates and restrictions competitive, while maximizing income potential.
STEP 3 - Go Live
Guest Communication
All incoming messages will be handled by our knowledgeable staff. Our reservations team will handle all guest communications from initial inquiries to check-outs. During the communication process, our team will check guest profiles, find out their nature of stay, request ID verification, and if applicable, verify credit card details.
Payments & Deposit
If all checks out, our reservations team will proceed to collect payment and request a refundable deposit for an added layer of security, in addition to Airbnb’s $1 million Host Guarantee Program.
Check-in & Check-out
Since every guest’s travels is unique, our reservations team will handle coordinating check-in times, special requests, and cleaning schedules, so you don’t have to. Leave it to us to provide guests with a hospitable experience from start to finish.
