Are You Rental-Ready for the Busy Season Ahead?

With car auctions, golf tournament, horse show and other events here in the beautiful Scottsdale area, it’s time to check your vacation rental to ensure it’s ready for bookings and great reviews. It’s astonishing how quickly things go missing or broken and you might never know until a bad review appears on VRBO or AirBnB. We can help!

If you have clients who are investing or have invested in rentals, share this with them to help them maximize them their income. One example we have worked on is here, https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/50980567?guests=1&adults=1&source_impression_id=p3_1642530864_RncQbJ876i8OzwKk

We suggest taking time now to do a quick inventory of the unit. Check furnishings for anything missing, damaged, or needing repairs or cleaning. Go through the kitchen and look for broken dishes, glassware or serving pieces or missing flatware and utensils. Are small appliances in good condition? Are you stocked with paper products, dish soap, trash bin liners, coffee and filters? Is the refrigerator clean?

Then go through each bedroom and bath and check your bedding and towels. Do you have complete sets of sheets, extra blankets and an extra set ready to go? Are towels fluffy and not stained? Are the shower curtain and liner, if you have them, fresh and clean? If you have glass showers, are they free of spots and stains? Do you have tissue, amenities and waste cans with extra liners? Are the duvet covers clean and appealing or could they use a refresh?

Don’t forget to check your patio or deck and make sure patio furniture is clean, in good repair and inviting. If you provide pool towels, take a count and replace dingy or missing ones.

It’s also time to check and update your house rules, local tourist information and check-out instructions and weed out dated magazines or flyers.

Keep in mind that renters select rentals based on photos. Dark, dated and unkempt rentals will not attract the highest price or best-quality renters.

While critical to maintaining your reviews and rates, maintaining your rental takes time. We offer a turnkey service to evaluate and keep your rental updated and current, with our proven inventory checklist, shopping service and recommendations for vendors.
