Introduction
Our Story
Hi, we’re Matt and Carissa, a dynamic husband-and-wife duo fueled by our passion for real estate. Our journey began in 2013 in California, where we lovingly transformed our quaint 1955 home into a rustic, cozy sanctuary through DIY renovations.
Driven by our love for creating beautiful spaces, we decided to take our skills to Texas in 2022. There, we wasted no time remodeling our new primary residence and acquiring a vacation home on the Gulf Coast. What started as a personal project soon evolved into a full-fledged business idea when we realized the potential to turn our vacation home into a profitable venture.
Our entrepreneurial spirit led us to dive headfirst into the world of short-term rentals (STRs). To ensure we were equipped for success, we joined a STR mastermind, launched a co-hosting podcast, and established a Houston-area STR monthly meetup. We also forged valuable connections with industry leaders, including CPAs, STR brokers, and revenue management experts.
With our combined expertise in property management and a deep understanding of guest expectations, we are confident in our ability to manage properties effectively. Our dedication to quality and guest satisfaction sets us apart in the competitive real estate market.
Today, we continue to grow our business, driven by our passion for hospitality and a commitment to providing memorable experiences for all guests. Our story is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and building a supportive community within the industry.
About Hooray Stays
Our Commitment to Your Guests
At The Hooray Stays, we pride ourselves on delivering 5-star service to your guests consistently, around the clock. With rapid, efficient communication and exceptional customer care, we ensure your guests have access to a comprehensive self-service guide at their fingertips.
Our Commitment to You
By leveraging the world's #1 pricing tool, we guarantee you the most competitive rates to maximize your ROI effectively. Furthermore, with our strategic marketing strategies, we aim to cultivate a brand that fosters long-term guest loyalty, ensuring repeat business for years to come.
The Difference
Maintaining a meticulously cared-for home is our top priority. From immaculate cleanliness to meticulous yard maintenance and timely repairs, we ensure your property is always in pristine condition. Every time you return, it will be just as you left it—perfect.
What We Offer
Strategic Pricing
Strategic pricing is crucial for maximizing return on investment (ROI) by aligning prices with market demand and consumer behavior. Regular analysis ensures adjustments during peak seasons, holidays, and events, optimizing profitability by capturing the heightened willingness to pay during these periods.
Communications
Guest communication is crucial in the vacation rental industry for several reasons. It helps in setting clear expectations, addressing inquiries promptly, and ensuring a smooth check-in/check-out process. Effective communication also builds trust and enhances guest satisfaction, leading to positive reviews and repeat bookings. Moreover, it allows hosts to address any issues or special requests proactively, ensuring a memorable and enjoyable stay for guests.
Marketing
We employ a diverse array of marketing strategies, including social media campaigns, email marketing, and guest outreach, to enhance the visibility and desirability of your property. By maximizing engagement and satisfaction, we not only foster repeat bookings but also elevate your listing’s search rankings, ensuring consistent occupancy rates and positive reviews through our dedicated 5-star customer service approach.
Listing Management
Our goal is to maximize your property’s exposure to potential guests. We craft compelling listings on major OTAs like Airbnb and VRBO, coupled with strategic social media marketing, all managed to ensure maximum visibility. Unlike typical management companies, we maintain your listing under your account, safeguarding your property reviews and maintaining your ownership throughout the process.
Direct Booking Site
In addition to listing your property on popular OTAs such as Airbnb and VRBO, we provide a dedicated website where guests can book directly, saving on OTA fees. Bookings through your website enjoy the same property protection as OTAs but without their policy limitations. We can also offer exclusive promotional discounts for your friends and family upon request, ensuring a personalized booking experience tailored to your needs.
Coordination
We offer comprehensive coordination with cleaners, maintenance teams, lawn care staff, and more, ensuring a completely hands-off experience for you. Relax and enjoy collecting income effortlessly from the comfort of your own home while we handle all the operational details.
Safety
Once we manage your property, we will do an initial safety walk-through. This is a full, in-depth walk-through. We are Breezway-certified short-term rental safety inspectors. Many companies, including the Vacation Rental Managers Association, endorse the certification. This is the safest standard in the industry. Normally, inspections like this run $750. We do it for FREE! Bi-yearly, we will do another one to ensure you are on top of your safety for your guests and your family. You would be surprised how many rentals are unsafe.
Design and Technology
With our expertise, we offer guidance in designing and setting up your home, selecting amenities, and devising effective strategies to attract and retain guests. We assist in choosing the right technology, from smart door locks to security cameras, and can manage everything from ordering furniture, décor, appliances, utensils, and bedding to setting up the unit if required. Whether you prefer a hands-on approach or need advice while managing things yourself, we’re here to support you every step of the way—just reach out to us!
Vacation rental management done right! Guest and client focused.
