Immediate Response
SummitCove Lodging has the ability to respond immediately to maintenance calls 24/7, but we also respond to guest booking inquiries typically within minutes. When guests are searching online and they aren't getting immediate responses, you chances of capturing that booking go down dramatically. After 3 minutes pass without the guest receiving a response, the chances of you getting that booking are down to 60%. After 5 minutes of not reaching you, it's less than a 30% chance. With the new sharing economy, impatient customers demand responses extremely fast and if they don't hear back in a timely manner, they will keep searching and move on to the next property, to someone who does respond. The result when you work with SummitCove Property Management? Higher revenues! We understand that time costs serious money if you aren't paying attention and we have a team of vacation planners who respond to guests for you! We also have 24/7 guest services and a local Front Desk for your guests. We have found that exceptional service brings guests back year after year, and often to the same property!

What You Gain As a Homeowner When You Hire a Vacation Rental Management Company
In today's "sharing economy", the barriers to buying a vacation rental and self-managing are much easier than ever before. The biggest headaches that used to be barriers such as advertising, payments and lockouts are now easily solved by keyless locks and third-party booking websites.
However, it all takes time to manage date inquiries and the booking calendar, lock codes, and to make sure that your advertising as is effective as possible. A recent study stated that it take vacation property owners an estimated 400 hours per year to manage their vacation rental to its maximum potential including maintenance, inquiries and being available 24/7. There are also other things that these kinds of websites and technology still won't be able to assist you with.
What happens when your upstairs neighbor's dishwasher leaks into your condo while a guest is staying? What do you do when the smoke alarm on the vaulted ceiling is chirping at 2am? What happens when the main boiler of the building goes down and your guest has no hot water?
You could hire expensive plumbers and other people locally, but will they answer the phone in the middle of the night? If they do, what kind of charges will you incur? Where do you draw the line?
A professional LOCAL property manager can put all these questions behind you and allow you to rest easily without midnight calls or refund demands from guests. A local property manager such as SummitCove Property Management is equipped to handle emergencies at all hours of the night year-round and without surprise pricing either. It's not just maintenance issues that a professional management company can help you with!
