This episode of STRonomics is proudly sponsored by MarketMySTR.com, the leading marketing platform for STR Industries.
In this episode of STRonomics, Bill Faeth and Kenny Bedwell discuss the role of real estate agents in the short-term rental property market. They argue that while agents can provide valuable services such as drawing up contracts and giving insights on concessions, potential investors cannot rely solely on agents' revenue projections. This is because the successful hosting of a property depends on a host's skills, strategies, and personal goals, all of which an agent cannot fully grasp. Investors are therefore advised to make their own assessments of prospective properties using reputable data sources. Bill and Kenny also emphasize the significance of agents having their own experience owning short-term rentals since they would better understand the investor's perspective.
