We Provide Resources Other Brokerages Don’t.

We provide an abundance of Resources that proactively address some of the most frequently encountered questions and concerns surrounding investing in property and subsequently launching an STR business.

AirDNA Access – We have purchased market data across the entire state of Colorado, from the STR analytics platform AirDNA. We grant access to clients who can create a guest login and browse unmatched Airbnb data and active insights surrounding the respective markets they bought in. These data points help short term rental owners make wiser decisions around pricing, booking, and marketing in their localized areas, ultimately leading to maximized operating efficiency and larger returns/revenues. 

Short Term Rental Laws By City Guide – Understanding local legislation is an important part of purchasing a secure investment and picking an area that is conducive to your goal. We want to take the google-searching & guesswork out of this process for you. We’ve created a guide that helps clarify several of the most essential questions to understanding how different areas regulation and legislation may influence your investment. 

Legislation and regulations surrounding STRs are subject to change over time as municipalities work to understand how STRs influence their communities. We continually update our guide, providing active links to the most current ordinances, legislation changes and government or department pages which contain additional information, so you can stay caught up on local legislation and assure you are in compliance with your area. 

HostGPO – We are part of a purchase program which gives you significant discounts on West Elm, William Sonoma, Rugs USA, and Public Goods.

Furniture List – We have a complete list of Furniture from online retailers so when it’s time to launch you can furnish quickly and get to generating that income. 

Hiring a Cleaner Guide – Hiring a cleaner is the most important part of operating a short term rental passively. We put together a guide on how to find them and how to structure them as a part of your management team. The right cleaning team can be crucial to your STR Business’ success. 

Facebook Group – You will be invited to our private group, where our active STR Hosts and Investors collaborate, share tips, and learn from each other. 

Strategic Contacts – Building an efficient team to address maintenance concerns is critical to responsibly operating a successful STR business. We will share our vendor list with you, so you have access to HVAC and Roofing contacts, Sewer Line Excavators, General Contractors, and other Maintenance Technicians across Colorado.

Access to Other MLS Services.

Good Neighbor has joined multiple boards and has access to multiple MLS systems, across several of the top performing Vacation Rental and Investment Property regions throughout the state of Colorado. 

Without access to a local MLS, other realtors may steer clients away from particular locations because they do not have the tools necessary to show property, or offer on behalf of their clients.

Having access to these MLSs gives us the ability to show property and submit offers on behalf of our clients throughout the state. More access = more coverage, which allows our team to best represent clients in several different markets. 

Short Term Rental Experts with First Hand Experience.

Each Realtor on our team owns an investment property themselves. They know the home buying process inside and out, and each one was faced with the same air of doubt or intimidation you may be feeling as you consider investing. Each realtor will also tell you, purchasing their home or investment property is one of the most rewarding decisions they’ve ever made. 

Because our realtors each operate a Short Term Rental business of their own, supplementing their mortgage payments or generating passive income, they have a keen sense of the most commonly encountered issues when launching an STR, and can proactively help you avoid them, saving time and money. 

Our Team’s personal experience with their own preferred automation tools and other collaborative home sharing platforms can help set your STR business apart from other fledgling listings, ultimately increasing operating efficiency, and overall revenue stream.

Airbnb Happy Hour.

We host monthly Networking Events for the community of Investors & Hosts we’ve had the pleasure of meeting through this line of business. Typically, we book out one night at one of our clients’ active Short Term Rental properties, and invite potential & past clients, investors and others within the hosting community to tour our clients’ income generating property. 

We provide drinks and light snacks, and end the night with a semi-formal presentation by the Host, who speaks on the “numbers” unique to their STR (i.e. expenses, bookings/occupancy, revenue), and the process of acquiring their investment with Good Neighbor. 

Open Door Policy.

When you work with Good Neighbor Realty, our relationship doesn’t end at the closing table. We have an open door policy that extends to all our clients, come visit our team at the Office any time. We will guide you through the process of owning and operating a Short Term Rental investment, even if that means after you’ve closed.

We find that we have excellent camaraderie with many of our clients, because you’re not just a number to us, you become part of our community of investors and hosts that we are incredibly grateful to be building.
