ABOUT EAGLE EYE OF PARK CITY

One Owner (Sole Employee)
Personal Care for You and Your Home
Direct Contact and Supervision By Me
Guaranteed Personal Care Through My Small Number of Homes

Why shouldn’t I use a large property management company that takes care of hundreds of homes? Why is a smaller company better than a large one? Fear of the unknown has kept homeowners from saving up to 40% on their property management. Let me show you how to start making more money on your vacation rental property today!

HERE IS HOW SOME PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES WORK.

They list your property where they want it.
They answer questions about your property without ever having been there.
Renters stop by their office to pick up the keys and a map of where your home is.
They take care of maintenance and emergencies on an “on call” basis.
They pick when and how often your property is cleaned.
GENERAL MAINTNANCE

HERE IS HOW EAGLE EYE OF PARK CITY WORKS

You choose how and where you list your property.
You answer questions about your property and book reservations.
Renters are greeted at the home by me at the time of arrival when I complete the home orientation.
I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergencies and personally insure you that they are taken care of.
You get to schedule how often and when your home is cleaned by my well-supervised cleaning service and snow removal service.
I assist in scheduling contracted work, and will carry out small home repairs for cents on the dollar.

Once you purchase a home, deciding on the rental needs is the top priority of your investment. Many owners decide only to rent to friends of the family or decide to leave the home vacant in between vacations. Others decide to list the property on every lodge listing web site on the planet in order to have zero vacancies. No matter what your needs happen to be Eagle Eye of Park City can shape our services to fit the demands of the project.

STEP TWO THOUGH FIVE ARE FOR RENTAL PROPERTYS

STEP one

MAKE RENTAL PROPERTY RENTAL FRIENDLY

Most owners need lockout closets to store all personal belongings while they are not enjoying the home. Garage lockout, for all the gear that you will need to secure while the home is rented, like skis, boards and clothing. Indoor lockout , for all food, beauty products and drinks that you would like to lock up. If your property has a small entry way then you might think of a gas heater, bench and boot dryer in the garage, so guests can keep all gear warm in the garage and out of the house. Every coffee table is incomplete with out a guest check in book and a three ring binder full of friendly house rules and brochures of activities and ideas that your family has enjoyed on your past visits.

STEP THREE

BUSINESS SET UP

Renting out your vacation home is a business, since you will be receiving a profit on a financial endeavor. Really all this means is that you will need a business license from Park City. The most important reason for this is payment from your clients/guests for the rental. Receiving down payments, security deposits and payment in full is really easy if you have a merchant account giving you the ability to take payment via credit cards. Also with your business license you can advertise with the Park City Chamber of Commerce. Their web site is http://www.parkcityinfo.com/. The following links are great Merchant Account services and virtual terminals, so you can enter in the credit card number right from your home computer, but I think you should do some research before you jump on board with these guys. I use them and so can you just all ways do your homework.

STEP FOUR

ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE

The more places you advertise the more exposure you will get. I suggest you advertise with as many lodging sites as you can at first and then narrow them down to the web sites that work best. When a potential client calls you have to ask how they found you. You might even offer a small gift or discount if they can tell you where they found you advertisement. I will advertise for you as well, but you will receive a great deal of success with the following web sites. In your first year advertising you should expect about five to 10 weeks of rentals as long as you are up and running by October. After the first year you should have some return renters and so forth. I now know some clients of my property management company that do not need to advertise because of return renters, friends and family.
