Let's Talk!

Our Commitment to Homeowners

Cash

Say goodbye to being nickel and dimed, and say hello to more revenue than with the competition.

Some management companies promise low fees then slam you with incremental surprise charges for lightbulbs, snow shoveling, and linens. SkyRun doesn’t believe in nickel and diming—you’ll get simple, straightforward terms on your contract with us so you’ll always know what to expect.

It doesn’t cost anything to get started with SkyRun. We make money only when you do: when we get your property booked.

We’ve cracked the code when it comes to pricing your property. Using a scientific approach powered by our national data set and local competitive intelligence, we’ll always price for the best returns on your investment, leaving no money on the table. With this approach, SkyRun homeowners report earning up to 30% more after switching to us.

Your property will not only be listed on the leading online booking channels, but will be optimized to perform well against other similar homes. In fact, SkyRun managed properties are booked 2.4 times more often than the average listing on leading booking channels.

Being part of a franchise, each SkyRun location is equipped with a highly efficient integrated tech stack to run our business. This software helps keep our overhead low, a savings we pass along to our homeowners.

We collect and pay your state and local taxes for nightly rentals. We also organize and prepare your year-end tax documents.

Care

As a local business, our reputation means everything to us. Our clients are not just a number to us–they’re our neighbors.

Our preventative maintenance approach utilizes proactive inspections, routine service, and smart tech to keep your property in excellent condition. Are you looking to retire in this home? We’ll make sure it is ready when you are.

In between stays, our professional team of housekeepers complete a thorough cleaning and restocking process to leave your home sparkling before the next guest arrives.

Homeowners stay happy with SkyRun because we go above and beyond to meet their needs. If you aren’t satisfied, we aren’t either–and we’ll work to make it right.

There’s no reason why guests shouldn’t feel pampered in a vacation rental. We provide high-quality linens, towels, and amenities and our team will restock all guest disposable supplies in between stays.

SkyRun is committed to taking the worries out of vacation rentals for both homeowners and guests. Ask us about our solutions to keep your property safe and protected from liability while you rent it out.

Happy guests power positive reviews—the #1 most important factor in influencing future bookings. On top of providing 24/7 guest support, we provide local recommendations and discounts to enhance the guest experience. The results? SkyRun earns an industry-high guest rating of 4.8 stars out of 5 across our locations and has over 30 thousand 5-star reviews to date.

Communication

You’ll have an open line of communication to us when you need us. No running in circles, no unanswered emails. We’ll get back to you each and every time.

You’ll know your property manager and have a direct line of communication to them when you need them. They’ll live near your home and can be there in a heartbeat should they need to be.

Keep all of your home’s information at your fingertips with our easy-to-use owner portal. From here, you can see, make, and manage your reservations; check your home’s KPIs and customize which metrics you want to track; and view and download your monthly statements, 1099s, and annual reports.

From before the booking all the way through and after checkout, we’re in communication with your guests to ensure they have a smooth and pleasant stay. To make it easy, we’re available to them via phone, email, and text 7 days a week.

We’re experts in local regulations surrounding short term rentals. Things are changing fast, and we know what homeowners need to do to maintain the proper permits and licenses as a vacation rental. We will guide you through the process to ensure your investment property is in full compliance with the law.

We take great pride in being a small, locally-owned business deeply rooted in the Steamboat community. Our team consists of dedicated locals who have lived and worked here for many years, which allows us to offer unparalleled insights and knowledge about the area. When you reach out to us, you can expect personalized service from our tight-knit crew. We believe in building relationships with our customers, ensuring that you know exactly who you are speaking with every time you call.

We are a full-service management company, meaning we handle all parts of the reservation process from start to finish. In addition, we have years-long relationships with local contractors that we work with regularly, and we assist in coordinating maintenance and repairs. Our staff is also on call 24/7 and available for emergencies.

Our pricing fluctuates based on the ever-changing market trends. We are continually monitoring pricing on a bi-weekly basis. In addition, we use dynamic pricing software that automatically adjusts pricing based on many factors including and not limited to competitors prices, occupancy, # of days until arrival, etc. Pricing can also be collaborative, owners can give input during that process if they choose to.

We do coordinate snow removal at the properties that need it. We also manage winter prep and can assist owners with their property’s specific needs. 

We inspect the properties after every guest to ensure everything is in its place, functioning, and clean.

We clearly list house rules on our listing and in the rental agreement that is provided at the time of booking. Property owners are protected by the rental agreement as well as the $99 damage waiver made at the time of booking. The damage waiver will cover up to $1500 worth of damage. For anything the exceeds that amount, will be paid by the guests. We are in communication with every guest at the time of booking to screen who is staying at our properties. We also have partnerships with many 3rd party websites such as Airbnb and Vrbo, who also have their own screening process.

Our management fee is dependent on the property’s unique needs. During the onboarding process, we meet with the potential owner at their property to see it and all that will entail to manage it. From there, we will discuss and offer the appropriate fee, Typically it is somewhere in between 25% and 30%. This is a flat fee, so owners will not see any hidden fees on their owner statements. Any outside contract work that is not guest damage will be charged to the owner, we are very transparent with our owners and communicate ahead of time if additional work needs to be done at their property.

Yes. While we are a small, local business, we are also a franchise that has many incredible resources including a marketing team that works with us to launch email blasts, special promotions, paid search, etc..
