Bennington's "Fresh Perspective" on Vacation Rental Property Management

Extraordinary Care of your Vacation Rental Property.

The number one complaint we received from Sunriver property owners who switched to us from other companies is that they felt their homes were not being properly taken care of.  That is not the case with Bennington Properties.  Our maintenance and housekeeping staffs work around the clock to ensure that all of our properties are given the care and attention that they deserve.  From inspecting for freezing pipes during the winter to attacking carpenter ant problems during the summer we are here to make sure your investment is well taken care of.

Greater Income for Your Property

Year after year, Bennington Properties consistently provides more rental income for each property owner than any other property management firm in Sunriver.  Properties on our program received on average 35% more occupied nights in 2008 than they would have with the competing property management companies.

Fewer Expenses

We look for ways to save our property owners money.  We make our money by renting your home, not by charging you for every little service.  Several of our services are optional, allowing our property owners the opportunity to save money through “sweat equity.”  We do not “nickel and dime” our property owners.  We have set out to design a program that returns a large portion of the gross rent to you, the property owner.  We have eliminated several fees that you will find elsewhere.  We have no fee for your stay or your family’s stay.  There is no monthly administration fee and the property owner does not pay the cleaning fee (this alone can be a $2,000 to $3,000 savings each year).  If we have to spend your money, we do it to protect your investment and to ensure that we can maximize your rental income.  Our objective is to become good stewards of your investment.

Extensive Marketing of Your Property

We are leading the way in coming up with new and exciting ways to increase revenue for our property owners.  Today’s market place is fast paced and requires a business to constantly adjust their business strategy to stay ahead.  We lead Sunriver in internet marketing, website design and functionality, the most important aspects of a Vacation Rental business today.  If you search for “Sunriver” on Google.com, as many do, our web address will generally appear first.  We have an online review feature on our website allowing guests to comment and rate the properties they have stayed in which has generated an extraordinary amount of traffic to our website.  We also have Vacation Planners answering phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to book your home.

More and more customers are going to the internet to book their reservations.  We have designed a website that showcases each property’s qualities in great detail and is very easy to use.  All of our homes are professionally photographed to make sure your property is presented in the best possible way.  We receive accolades every day from guests who have chosen our company because of our website.

 Extraordinary Service for you and the guests staying in your property

Our commitment to quality and to “above and beyond” service has made us popular among our guests and property owners.  People who do business with us know that we will be there for them when they need us.  We enjoy what we do and we have fun doing it.  We also look for small ways to make a guest’s visit to Sunriver extra special.  An example might be buying a guest a bottle of wine for their anniversary or giving their kids or dogs a little treat when they arrive to Sunriver.  We are the only property management firm that offers a free DVD library to all of our guests and property owners and all of our guests receive free recreation passes to the Sunriver pools and tennis courts.

We give a great amount of personalized attention to each of our properties.  Our reservations team will get to know all of the details of your property by previewing it regularly so that they can more enthusiastically promote it over the telephone or internet.  This is important to guests, as they want to speak to someone who really knows what they are talking about and can answer all of their questions.

We are a Family Business

Bennington Properties is a family business in heart and in structure.  With that comes a personal connection to what we do as a business because what we do reflects who we are as people and as a family.  When you need to contact someone, you will have easy access to the company owners.  (Read more about the Benningtons).

We are Involved in our community

Living in Sunriver and being committed and heavily involved in both our community and in the happenings of the vacation rental industry continually gives us the advantage of being well informed to prepare for any changes that could affect our business.  This is a key factor in our ability to thrive, while others fail, during difficult economic times.

We are Evolving

Bennington Properties is not a stagnant company stuck in a single way of doing business.  We are continually striving to grow and improve as people and as a company.  We have made a commitment to never settle and to constantly ask, how can we do this better?  We may not be perfect, but we are sure going to try to be.
