How Evolve helped Linda keep her home and turn a profit

Linda’s cross-country move almost made her leave her beloved vacation home behind. With Evolve’s help, she held onto her property while making nearly $62,000 in passive income over 11 months with us.

Linda's challenges

Untitled-3-04 

Long distance

After moving to California, it was difficult for Linda to keep her Colorado vacation home clean, maintained, and ready for guests from three states away.

Balancing booking sites

Linda hosted her vacation rental on Home2Go and Airbnb by herself and struggled to keep her calendars up-to-date and her rates competitive.

First time renter

As someone who was new to being a vacation rental host, Linda had to do all of the booking management, marketing, guest communications, and pricing research on her own.

Our management solution

Maximum visibility

We created a search-friendly, custom listing — including a free professional photo shoot — then promoted it to millions and managed it on all of the major vacation rental websites like Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and sites she wouldn’t have access to on her own like Hopper.

In-home & guest support

We matched Linda with one of our vetted, trusted service partners to take care of all of her on-the-ground cleaning and maintenance. And our Evolve team quickly answered booking inquiries, provided check-in information and confirmations, and sent reminders to guests to write reviews. 

Expert guidance & strategies

Our revenue pros created a custom strategy that factored in her local area’s supply, demand, and seasonality trends with her home’s amenities, availability, and nearby competitors. From there, our exclusive Smartrates technology automatically adjusted her rates daily to outearn the market year-round.

I don't have to do anything and the bookings just keep coming in.

It's truly the easiest thing I've ever done and the best decision I've ever made!"
