There is also an office property manager for each team. This person coordinates reservation activity, discusses interior inventories and upgrades with owners, and helps with property inspections during the summer. Each of 9 licensed property managers handles less than 35 properties to assure the necessary attention to each one.
The property managers communicate with each other and directly with homeowners using Blackberries and HP tablet communicators. Each has instant access to our browser-based reservation system with HomeAway.
