OwnerRez, Quick Books, Website, Alternative to VRBO Guest-Paid Insurance

Do you see these add-on benefits worthwhile ?

  • Property Management- this is for actual property managers managing other owner’s properties
  • Website- I have my own, created on WP before I had OR, I don’t market much, but I have booked about 20% of my bookings this year direct. I don’t really market so most of those direct bookings are returning guests or guests smart enough to google my property names or a guest adding on extra nights. With one listing you could try that on your own, via the quote function before you jump to having a website.
  • Quick Books integration- if you use QB, I don’t
  • SMS messaging- I don’t use this as I am cheap and have not seen the need, I think it’s more needed for bigger set ups where multiple people might be replying to guests and where it’s critical to have that flow. For me and my local manager, it’s just us, no need to separate that communication and I will text guests from my phone, not worried about the number being revealed.
