Yes, yes and always yes! We are totally in favor of this type of platform, the benefits they offer and the versatility they provide to travelers.

Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway, HomeToGo, Flipkey, Booking.com are just some of the platforms or metasearch engines where you can find properties for vacation rentals or advertise yours. They are great options for travelers looking for a different type of accommodation, rather than traditional hotels.

When buying a property as an investment, selling it for a greater amount than what you initially paid is not the only way to generate profit. With these platforms, you have the advantage and possibility to generate revenue practically every day of the year if you have the correct revenue and market strategy.

At Grupo ALPE’s Hospitality division, we are responsible for maximizing the revenue of each property we work with. For us, a property that is not actively being advertised every day, you are losing money. By not taking advantage of the property you own and don’t use, over the time it can end up representing a significant amount of money that the owner let go. 

The most important question here is, how do we do it right? 

Being open platforms for everyone, the number of options to choose from is practically unlimited. You can rent a room and share with other travelers or opt for the complete property, in terms of budget, you can find a very wide range, great location or something not so, luxury services or none, etc… at the end, it is possible to find a variety of fantastic possibilities for the trip you are planning.

Now, having said that, it is imminent that your property stands out from the rest and that is where Grupo ALPE’s Hospitality division is your best partner. Of course it is not rocket science, we all know that, right? but also it is not only having good photographs of the property, comments, reviews or just renting at the price that the platform suggests, no, it is a combination of those and many more variables that take place at the same time in order to catch the eye of guests looking to book a property. 

Our job consists of doing constant analysis to boost your property and at the same time, stay relevant to the traveler. The moment these 2 variables match, that is the time when magic begins and properties are well positioned. This can last minutes or hours but not more than a few days and that is why we have a full-time staff exclusively in charge of optimization of our properties, we change prices, it is never fixed and with that we look to become relevant at the exact moment when a person is looking to rent a property to go on vacation.

Something that helps us a lot is the possibility to team up with Grupo ALPE’s Maintenance division in order to keep our properties in immaculate condition, each guest is a guest of honor, we pamper him and work around the clock to make his or her stay magnificent.

If you have a property and you think you could generate added value with it, feel free to send us an email, we’d love to hear from it and hopefully work together.
