This couple stayed retired with the help of a trusted property management company

Why having a stellar team with a can-do attitude leaves more time to relax.

>

Wallace and Jayne's retirement plan was to maximize their free time by finding a vacation rental management company that could actively run their cozy property on Mercer Island, Washington. That required finding a local team that was communicative, responsive and could handle their home's day-to-day operations without needing them to step in.

They eventually met with Vacasa in 2018 to create a plan built on trust that would keep them worry-free and retired, all while elevating the guest experience and offering consistent revenue. With aligned values, all parties were eager to see Vacasa take over the Blue Angels Room and let bookings fly.

Leave nothing up in the air

Mercer Island is a busy destination trafficked by tourists every season, making it a requirement for Wallace and Jayne to partner with a local team that understood the area's nuances, their home, and their needs.

They avoided property management companies that didn't deliver their same enthusiasm for their community and uphold their same professional standards. They wanted a business partner that cared for their property and understood that, as a retired couple, they wanted their property to provide additional income without additional headaches.

Since kicking off their partnership with Vacasa, Wallace and Jayne appreciate that nothing is left up in the air. That allows them to relish in their free time without worry, knowing the local Mercer Island team is actively elevating the guest experience. Accordingly, they’ve fostered a solid relationship with their regional onsite manager, Sean, who they call "the best property manager [we] have worked with."

"Sean is simply the best for us. He is responsible, responsive, articulate, and competent. He allows us to be retired, not having to engage with the operations side of the shop actively. He is the best property manager [we] have worked with."
—Jayne, Mercer Island, Washington homeowner

All aboard
