That depends on how much you’re making now, and on the research specifically to your property. We can tell you some of our averages:

1. Our average monthly bookings are 15-20 nights a month. In high season our healthy listings can book 25 day+
2. Our company has raving reviews & 4.8 stars across our properties; when we manage your property, you instantly take on our logo’s reputation. With our reviews, usage history, and your property being a new listing, rental platforms will push your listing to be noticed.
3. We market on various booking channels (such as Airbnb, VRBO, Expedia, Kayak, etc) Additionally we market on our website, Instagram, Facebook, through Google Searches, etc.

Yes, you can stop our services whenever you’d like; there is no long term contract – we only ask that existing reservations be honored in consideration of our guests and that you give us a 30 day notice so that we can prepare any last statements and close out account

Quite simply by letting go and letting Venture Yours optimize your listing with pricing, photos, Response Time, Marketing, etc. We have been in the industry for over 10 years and while some owners may have been renting their property for that amount of time or maybe even longer, the times are changing and quick! The Vacation Rental industry has seen a growth of 10% Compound Annual Growth (that means this industry is booming!) The competition is fiercer than ever, but that isn’t something you need to worry about, because we already are.

For our Essential Management we offer our services nationwide. For our Complete Management we currently offer services in Long Beach, Lake arrowhead and Orange County.

Venture Yours does not add additional fees such as stocking fee per traveler, Marketing Fee, Professional Photographer fee, Booking Channel Fee. We keep it simple by offering 2 Management Services, and there aren’t any added fees.

Venture Yours is insured with an E&O policy as well as:

• A 1m policy available when taking reservations through Airbnb, VRBO, & Expedia
• Venture Yours’ homeowners implement their own house rules
• If using our Complete Management, we implement routine Housekeeping and Maintenance Quality Control
• Venture Yours requires security deposits

Depending on which platform the reservation is made, Venture Yours may not receive a security deposit from the traveler and instead any claim for damage or violation of house rules may require a claim submission from venture yours in which documentation of damage and reference to fair market value is required. In such instances Venture Yours makes no guarantee of full or partial reimbursement.

Cancellations should be avoided. They tremendously impact the guest who has made the booking and may involve many more people. In addition, Venture Yours suffers tremendously. To prevent this and from compensating for the work that is required to salvage the damage caused by a cancellation, Venture Yours has a $2,500 reservation cancellation fee. Our cancellation fee is meant to cover us for the irreparable damage that a cancellation causes to our reputation and online search result ranking – which is the bloodline of our business and our client’s. In addition to the backtracking and make up work that must be done to overcome such a scarlet letter, it’s a long, winding road we must overcome just to get back to even, that can take months of double and triple time work.

In many cases cancellation fees can be avoided if the reason for the cancellation is:

• unexpected death or serious illness of a host, guest or immediate family member
• serious injury that directly restricts a guest’s ability to travel or a host’s ability to host
• significant natural disasters or severe weather incidents impacting the location of destination or location of departure
• urgent travel restrictions or severe security advisories issued after the time of booking, by an appropriate national or international authority (such as a government office or department)
• endemic disease declared by a credible national or international authority (such as the us center for * disease control or the world health organization)
• severe property damage or unforeseen maintenance issues that directly impact the ability to host safely
• government-mandated obligations issued after the time of booking (ex: jury duty)

These are reviewed independently, require sufficient documentary evidence and may ultimately be decided by not only Venture Yours staff but the listing platform as well in which the reservation was made.

Funds go to the Trust account and then are dispersed once a month to the owners (via direct deposit or check) along with a monthly financial statement. Additionally you have access to your homeowners Dashboard where you can see full review of finance statements.
