I have owned my holiday rental for over 25 years. Over the last few years, it has become increasingly challenging with costs rising and bookings slowing down. I was looking at other options as clearly the old model of holiday letting wasn’t working. I even looked at selling but the local agents said that wasn’t a viable option either as so many holiday lets were on the market, and not selling. It was around the start of the year that I got talking to Kelly who outlined Smart Choice Stays business model. It was identical to the Rent-to-Rent model that I was using at the time on two of my other properties, and that was working like a dream and had done for the previous four years. As we developed the idea of Smart Choice Stays using my property, it became clear that Kelly was very switched on to what was needed to make the model work. After a relatively short time I decided that this was the right thing for me to do. From that day forward, it has proved to be the best thing I could have done. Smart choice Stays have proved to be very easy to work with, very professional and much in tune with the market. My property has had a complete makeover and is now looking the best it has looked. It is also proving popular. I now have a net income that is greater than before. And the income is guaranteed. No more worrying about how many bookings I have got, or if the bookings will be cancelled. No more concerns about a grumpy holiday maker leaving a bad review because it rained all holiday and they need someone to take their frustration out on. With this model, I get to keep my property, get a guaranteed income and still have the opportunity to use it for my own short breaks (my sister has just been there for a week!) If you are looking to unload the grief, hassle, uncertainty and stress of running your own holiday let, but want to guarantee covering the costs while still having access to your property for your own use, then Smart Choice Stays will provide you with the answer. Easy to work with, and very professional in their approach.
