EVERY RENTAL, EVERY TIME,
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS
IDENTIFY THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY!!!
“I
worked directly with the homeowner so there was no Management Company.” WRONG! They cleaned your home. They decide the
temperature of your pool water. They (hopefully) respond when the sink is stopped
up or if there are ants in the kitchen:
Since
vacation home homeowners RARELY live in Orlando, every vacation
home has a MANAGEMENT COMPANY that acts as a local proxy that handles the day-to-day operations. It is that company that sets the standards that will affect the quality of your vacation.
One
management company charges $25 per day for pool heat, the other $30 per day. Which
do you want to use? If the first company charges $25/day, but sets the water
temperature at 72 degrees, and the second company charges $30/day and sets the water temperature at 85 degrees, then
who do you want to rent from?
The
MANAGEMENT COMPANY is the key.
One
management company has three full time maintenance personnel, but has 100 homes that they manage, another company has only
two full-time maintenance personnel, but manages only 12 homes, which to you want to rent from?
One
management company has a 24-hour emergency number, but it goes to a voice recorder after 5 PM and on weekends. Another management company takes calls 6 AM to midnight, but it goes to a real person who will respond in
person if required, which do you want to rent from?
