Maximize your investment with Homebody Props
Homebody knows how much work and expense it is owning a rental in the Flagstaff area. But you don’t have to worry about it when you have Homebody—that’s why we offer in-house management services and dynamic pricing. We know what it takes to maximize your investment.
Hassle-Free Earning
Managing a successful vacation rental requires that many parts work well together. Homebody prioritizes keeping all these elements in-house to ensure there are no gaps or inconsistencies in the product we deliver. In addition to the usual administrative services all management companies provide, Homebody has in-house graphic and interior designers, in-house maintenance, in-house cleaners, and an in-house setup and logistics team. We want to make sure everything from start to finish has the Homebody touch, and we believe this alone makes us unique and raises us above our competition. This hands-off experience for our owners allows them to enjoy the benefits of a maximized rental home income without the headache
Attention to Detail
A picture is worth 1,000 words. When people are looking for a vacation rental to book, they are literally judging a book by its cover. Flagstaff is in the top 5 vacation rental destinations in the country—that means there is great opportunity for a rental investment. It also means that there is a lot of competition. Currently 30% of homes in Flagstaff are second homes. Homebody has above-average occupancy rates because we have above-average properties.
How owners design their place will have the single most direct impact on where they will fall on the income spectrum. We expect both of ourselves and the properties that they fall above average on the range provided, and when a property falls below that threshold it’s time we turn back to our core principles and see where we can do better.
A well-decorated vacation rental has a higher return on investment. We decorate to maximize the impact of the listing photos. We know what is popular and we know how to maximize decor impact at a lower cost.
Increased Earning Potential
We often get the question, “How are you able to charge less, but offer more at consistently higher quality?” Statistically speaking, a well set-up and operated vacation rental will rent 2x more than market average. This is why we value well set-up rental. We expect all our rentals to continually perform above the seasonal market average, which means they are continually bringing in above-market revenues. Higher revenues for our owners means higher commissions to us, allowing us to make equal to or above what our competitors make while charging less.
Dynamic Pricing
Dynamic pricing has been used in travel and hospitality industries for years. How we price your property is going to vary dramatically based on market demand. The nightly price of your home will always be determined by the demand for your type of home at any given time (weekdays vs weekends, time of year, local events, and other factors are all considered). Using this process prevents limited views of the market to determine price and makes it possible to increase bookings and revenue vs static pricing. We can’t change market demand, but we can always change amenities in the home to put it in higher demand.
