You Don’t Live in Scottsdale? No Problem!
Your hometown of Columbus, Ohio is a very beautiful one, offering that perfect blend of cosmopolitan city life and country charm, but it isn’t quite a top tier vacation destination. And as you yourself may have spent many winters enjoying the milder temps of Scottsdale, the choice to buy a property here to rent out seemed to be a natural one. This also makes choosing I Love Scottsdale to manage your property the next logical step, as we live here, we play here, and we know all the things that make it attractive to travelers all over the world. We can play concierge of a sort, telling your guests which restaurant has the best salsa in the area (Los Olivos Mexican Patio gets our vote) and where you should take a road trip to when the summer temps get too high (Flagstaff wins, hands down!). Today’s traveler’s want a vacation experience that satisfies and thrills from start to end and although you could probably figure out a few things on your own, isn’t it nice to have our knowledge banks to withdraw from?
Maintenance Matters
Did you know that a property in Scottsdale can earn a good deal more than one in Mesa or even Phoenix? And as vacation rental prices skyrocket, discerning travelers are starting to demand more. They no longer want just a place to rest their head between adventures, they want a vacation experience filled with luxury and wonder, and if you advertise a heated crystal-clear swimming pool, your pool better be both, and maybe offer even more! No one wants to stay in a place with broken pool heaters, cracked windows, or air conditioners that are barely able to combat the heat, making maintenance a priority for I Love Scottsdale. Our maintenance team is the best in the business, helping to ensure that air conditioners cool, dishwashers wash, and that pool in the backyard will be open for business from the moment your guests checks in until he has checked out again at the end of his stay.
Our Housekeeping Teams Are the Best
Keeping a clean house for tenants is an entirely different story than keeping a clean house for family and this is another area where you will more than likely want to delegate the chore to our top notch housekeeping team. At home you wouldn’t mind if someone left a used pod in the Keurig, and if you found a sock under the bed, you would probably laugh to yourself; these things are minor at home, but if you were a guest in a vacation rental, both of these things would seriously affect how you look at the rental. Our housekeeping team cleans before and after each guest, and they vacuum under cushions for crumbs, look under beds for lost socks, even peek into every drawer in the bedroom to make sure there are no surprises left for unsuspecting guests. You could do this yourself, of course, but isn’t it easier to let the professionals handle the matter while you go about the business of real life?

As technology evolves, we have found that some things make the rental business easier, others make it worse, and some are outright genius ideas, and we consider it a part of our work to check out all that arises on the horizon. Keyless entry check in, the latest website updates, even the way we take the money from your guests and deposit it in your bank account offers some new version of technology to help the process goes seamlessly. We’ve already discussed advertising, getting your property out in front of the crowds, and that is also done with the latest in vacation rental technology. It is much easier for our owners to utilize a program already in existence rather than have to figure it all out themselves, starting from scratch as they scratch their heads and wondering what they might have got themselves into. Choosing I Love Scottsdale will definitely eliminate the head scratching and wondering part of the game!
The Laws Are Constantly Changing
This next reason may be the biggest reason you will want to choose a Scottsdale vacation rental property management company over going it alone. The vacation rental business is fluid and there is always some new rule, regulation, or law that needs to be learned. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, and the neighborhoods, cities, and towns are always eager to take your money, enacting fines that get more expensive with each transgression. Did you know that owners are required to notify neighbors about their short term rentals in the neighborhood? We did, and yes, we consider notifying the neighbors another part of our job so you don’t have to deal with any unhappy people. We also handle the taxes that are such a nuisance and a required part of life and business. You may not be able to avoid paying them, but at least the headache will be handled by our team of outstanding people!
Emergencies Rarely Happen During Standard Business Hours
Our maintenance and housekeeping teams do a wonderful job of keeping your property running smoothly, but emergencies happen. Electricity outages, internet outages, or even stray branches finding their way through a window on a dark and stormy night and when these emergencies arise, do you want to be the one taking the 2 AM phone call? Needing to be awake and aware enough to deal with the situation, figuring out if it is something that would require moving the guests or if this emergency can be dealt with effortlessly is something we do quite a bit and because we do and we always have a backup plan in mind. Our owners can sleep peacefully through the night, knowing that whatever emergencies arise we will handle them quickly and efficiently and notify the owner the next day during regular business hours. If it is something that could potentially be a major problem, of course we will contact you immediately; we know we would like to be notified if the tables were turned, but for most incidences, the next day is soon enough.

As we said earlier, we spend more time than you can imagine studying the market, and everything we do for your property we do with your bank account in mind. And even if we quietly suggest you spend a little more in the early days, splurge for the premium mattress, buy a NEW television, not something off Facebook Marketplace, or simply paint the entire house instead of just one room.
