Full-Service Property Management: What We Handle

Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, or developer, we offer end-to-end services that take every task off your plate. Here’s how we manage your property from A to Z:

1. Short Term Rental Licensing Assistance

One of the biggest challenges of modern hosting is staying on top of local regulations. Cities and counties now require permits, inspections, and ongoing reporting.

Our in-house team assists owners with:

• Applying for local short-term rental license
• Coordination of inspections and safety checks
• Updates, renewals and reporting to keep your listing active

Rest easy knowing you have a dedicated team focused on keeping your short-term rental in good standing while keeping you informed of any significant regulatory changes.

2. Guest Reservations & Communication 365 days a year

Your guests expect fast responses, clean spaces, and smooth check-ins. At Host Services Group, we don’t just accomplish this, we accomplish this thousands of times each year. Our reservations team is available 365 days a year which helps us to maximize occupancy and keep guests happy.

Our reservations team:

• Manages listings on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and more
• Uses dynamic pricing to maximize your revenue
• Handles all inquiries, bookings, and check-ins
• Resolves guest issues quickly and professionally
• Provides welcome guides, house rules, and support info

At Host Services Group, we use advanced software to monitor real-time travel trends, seasonal demand, and local events. This allows us to adjust pricing proactively, keeping your property competitive while ensuring steady occupancy. Beyond revenue management, our systems help us anticipate guest needs and maintain seamless communication before, during, and after their stay. From sending personalized welcome messages to providing clear house rules and information, we ensure that guests feel confident, cared for, and fully informed. By being transparent every step of the way, we build trust with both you and your guests. This ultimately sets the stage for repeat bookings and positive reviews that strengthen your property’s reputation.

Additionally, the reservation team is also dedicated to vetting each guest before accepting their reservation, ensuring peace of mind for property owners and a safe, respectful environment for every stay. This process includes verifying guest profiles, reviewing past booking history, and confirming that their travel purpose aligns with your home’s guidelines. By taking the time to carefully screen guests, we reduce the risk of property damage, disruptive behavior, and last-minute cancellations. Our goal is to protect your investment while welcoming only those guests who will treat your property with the same care and respect that you do.

3. Professional Housekeeping & Restocking

When it comes to cleaning, We don’t cut corners. We clean them. Our professionally trained in-house cleaning staff ensures your property is spotless after every stay.

We also monitor and replenish:

• Paper products (toilet paper, paper towel, etc.),
• Cleaning products (Pinesol, Windex, Laundry Liquid, etc.)
• Kitchen basics (Coffee, Sugar, etc.)
• Bath and shower essentials (Shampoo, Conditioner, Bodywash)

After a guest stay, if any items are damaged or missing we ensure they are fixed and replaced so you don’t have to worry. We keep your property guest-ready at all times and owners informed of everything that’s happening in their home.

4. Ongoing Maintenance & Property Care

Even the best properties need upkeep. Our team is experienced working in all types of properties. Our team handles:

• Routine maintenance and repairs

Because we’re local, our response times are fast and our solutions are built to last. Again, we are committed to keeping your property guest-ready at all times and owners informed of everything that’s happening in their home.

Responsible Hosting: It’s Not Optional. It’s Essential

We believe that responsible hosting is the foundation of long-term success.

Here’s what that means to us:

• Guest screening: We do our best to ensure quality guests by using proven processes and technology to verify bookings and reduce risk. This helps protect both the property and the community while creating a better experience for everyone involved.
• Maintenance and upkeep: Every property requires consistent care to stay at its best. We handle preventative maintenance, timely repairs, and regular checkups so homes remain comfortable, reliable, and guest-ready year-round.
• Being transparent with our clients: We communicate openly about expectations, responsibilities, and results, using technology to provide real-time updates and clear reporting. This transparency builds trust and ensures long-term, successful partnerships with every property owner we work with.

We want your property to be a benefit, not a burden — to the area it’s in. And we build our services to make that happen.
