Vitor, an architect based in Lisbon, found himself in a challenging position. Besides his demanding job as an architect, Vitor had taken on the responsibility of managing several holiday apartments in both the Algarve region and Lisbon’s city center. These properties belonged to friends and family he had met over the years. Despite good financial results, the responsibilities began to weigh on him.
Challenges
Vitor faced 2 significant challenges in managing these properties:
- Time Management: Juggling a full-time job as an architect and managing multiple properties left Vitor with little to no personal time. The constant need to address guest inquiries and handle booking management was overwhelming.
- Distance and Maintenance: Many of the properties were located far from Lisbon, where Vitor lived. This distance made it difficult for him to manage maintenance and ensure the properties were kept in good condition.
Solution
In his search for a solution, Vitor discovered Rental Valley. He reached out with an initial request to take over the cleaning and maintenance tasks only. However, as discussions progressed, Vitor decided to trust Rental Valley with the full management of his properties. This included also booking management and guest communications.
