There are two types of people who should listen to this podcast:1. You have a vacation property that you'd like to rent out in a hassle-free way.2. You're looking to rent a luxurious, professionally-managed home all for yourself (and your friends/family) on your vacation.Vacasa has 10,000 homes in their portfolio. You might think their competitor is Airbnb or Booking.com. Not exactly.A closer competitor would be FutureStay.The main difference between FutureStay and Vacasa is that Vacasa offers far more service. Vacasa:Helps you pimp out your home.Takes professional photos and 3D tours.Provides cleaning service before each guest.Makes sure that your home is ideal for a vacation rental.Their pricing algorithm will optimize the All these services come at a price. Vacasa takes a 25-35% commission and you have to upgrade your home-owner insurance to cover vacation rentals.In contrast, FutureStay adds a 5% markup on top of whatever Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO charges. All FutureStay does is coordinate the calendars on all those sites, so you don't double-book your property.Vacasa does much more. So if you want fewer headaches and you want a full-service solution, go with Vacasa, especially if you have a property that can be rented out most of the year.If you're a do-it-yourselfer and you have the time, then FutureStay is probably better.Listen to Vacasa's Head of Global Partner Programs Thaddeus Hanscom understand more.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWybVBnweSMGet rewarded for becoming one of my Patrons!
