{Ep 23 } The Importance Of Seasonal Maintenance For your Vacation Rental

Superhost Unveiled

1. Do you have a seasonal maintenance program for your vacation rental?
2. After a busy summer season- many tasks are put off for the slower months- seasonal maintenance is a great time to "catch up"
3. Have you ever had pipes freeze? Heat not turn on? Septic backup? A sudden snowstorm and no shovel? Fall maintenance prevents frantic phone calls from guests and delivers a better experience
4. Fall in the White Mountains actually means winter is right around the corner - so many fall tasks help us gear up for the colder winter weather
5. Owners are typically from out of state, may not be home savvy so aren't always aware of what should be done- that's a PM's role is to educate and guide them to keep their property top notch
6. Seasonal maintenance protects your investment and is pretty non-negotiable (in our rental program)
7. Guests usually come from lower New England areas and do not experience the amount of snow and how cold it can get- it is important your home is prepared for them
8. Seasonal maintenance isn't just for owners- PM's need to do a fall cleaning of their listing, welcome books, photos, etc to stay relevant to the season
9. Review items on the list- as much or as little detail needed
