What Can You Expect?
Marketing Your Home
We'll put our best foot forward to ensure your rental listing is eye catching and inviting. Using your input, we'll craft a description and be sure to include all the information we can to attract guests. Expect real estate quality photographs, drone photography and help navigating the competitive landscape.
The Heavy Lifting
Sales and lodging tax collection and remittance for all rentals executed by Northwoods Property Management. Sit back and let us do the work. We use the latest in trust accounting and reservation processing technology. Owners are hands off in the transaction and can expect a net payout monthly for activity.
Customer Service
Guests will enjoy our live, local customer support and vacation lodging coordination. It's nice to get a voice! We are much more than a website. We've got actual people on staff ready to help. There's a personal touch to the service we provide. Visitors tend to rely on our knowledge of the area and helpful advice while searching for accommodations. We aren't just here for lodging. We promote the area and are active in each of the communities we service.
Integration
Expect your property to be broadcast to more than just our marketplace. We integrate with Airbnb, VRBO, Google VR and others to ensure maximum exposure. While we have a great following and growing presence as a Northwoods lodging marketplace the ability to broadcast to global markets is imperative.
Owners In The Know
Property owners are provided a portal for viewing the property calendars, monthly statement, sales cycle reports and the ability to block the calendar by making owner reservations. With each reservation the owner is copied on the Property Manger notification. You'll know it when there's action on your property. With action comes profit. Expect a timely, monthly, rental payout.
Requirements
Properties are required to pass a state licensing inspection and must have local permitting in place to operate as a short-term rental. We'll walk you through each step to ensure this is complete. Owners are also required to carry the proper insurance for their properties. Good for business: It's encouraged to join the local chamber of commerce which your property is located. Community support goes a long way.
General Cleaning and Maintenance
Each property is unique. One thing is for sure, cleaning can make or break your rental. We work exclusively with a talented cleaning staff and will help to arrange cleaning service. As for maintenance we can be as hands on as you need. While a majority of owners make personal use of their properties throughout the year, they tend to find arrangements for maintenance and care. We do offer full-service options that would allow you to be hands off.
