Your property management system was supposed to simplify things. Right now, it's creating more work. Reservations overlapping. Guests waiting hours for a reply. Automations half-built. Cleaners showing up to the wrong property. Maintenance requests falling through the cracks. Revenue opportunities being missed because nobody is monitoring occupancy, pricing, or listing performance. You didn't get into short-term rentals to spend your day managing software, vendors, and operational fires. I set up the systems. Then I run the operations. Most STR professionals only do one or the other. I've personally managed 50+ properties across Airbnb, VRBO, and Bookingcom, supporting property owners, STR operators, and management companies with operations management, guest communication, property management, revenue optimization, maintenance coordination, and day-to-day business operations. I'm not learning your pain points from a course. I've lived them. That's the difference. 📌 Here's what changes when you hire me: ☸️ Your PMS finally works the way it should Full setup, optimization, and management of Hospitable, Guesty, Hostaway, and Lodgify. Channel management, automated guest messaging, workflow creation, SOP implementation, pricing integrations, operational triggers, calendar synchronization, and property onboarding. Built properly. Tested thoroughly. Managed daily. ☦️ No double bookings. No gaps. No chaos. Airbnb, VRBO, Bookingcom, and direct booking channels synced, monitored, and stress-tested. Reservation management, calendar management, occupancy tracking, and operational oversight that keeps your portfolio running smoothly. ♒️ Better guest experience. Less work for you. From inquiry to checkout, I manage guest communication, guest satisfaction, issue resolution, review management, refund requests, claims handling, and escalation management. Professional, prompt, and brand-consistent communication that protects your ratings and strengthens your reputation. 🛜 Strong operations behind the scenes. Vendor management, maintenance coordination, cleaner scheduling, inspection tracking, contractor follow-up, reporting, documentation, and process improvement. I proactively identify problems before they affect guests, owners, or revenue. 🧹 Turnovers that run like clockwork. Turno setup and management, cleaner coordination, maintenance scheduling, quality control, and operational follow-through. No missed turnovers. No last-minute surprises. 📈 Revenue and listing performance support. Listing optimization, occupancy optimization, dynamic pricing support, competitor monitoring, booking trend analysis, minimum stay strategies, calendar optimization, and revenue management support using PriceLabs and platform insights. Because high occupancy means nothing if profitability suffers. 📌 Tools I work with daily: Hospitable • Guesty • Hostaway • Lodgify • PriceLabs • Turno • Airbnb • VRBO • Bookingcom • Google Workspace • Slack • ClickUp • Asana • Trello My expertise covers: ✅ Short-Term Rental Operations Management ✅ Property Management ✅ Airbnb Management ✅ Executive Assistance & Administrative Support ✅ Guest Communication & Guest Experience ✅ Vendor & Maintenance Coordination ✅ Revenue & Occupancy Optimization ✅ Listing Optimization ✅ Reservation & Calendar Management ✅ SOP Development & Process Improvement ✅ Team Coordination & Operational Reporting This is my focus. Not general VA work. 50+ properties managed. I know what breaks, what causes operational bottlenecks, what impacts guest satisfaction, and what drives occupancy and revenue growth. ✅ Ready to fix yours? Send me an invite and tell me: • What platform you're using • How many properties you manage • Your biggest operational headache right now I'll review your current setup and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, guest experience, occupancy, and operations — no obligation, no lengthy calls, just clear recommendations and actionable solutions.
