Read full description
TurnKey primarily serves vacation rental homeowners who seek to maximize their rental income without the hassle of day-to-day management. The company also caters to travelers looking for reliable and high-quality vacation rental experiences. TurnKey's business model is based on charging a management fee, which is a percentage of the rental income generated from the properties they manage. This fee structure aligns the company's incentives with those of the homeowners, as both parties benefit from higher occupancy rates and rental income.
TurnKey differentiates itself through its use of technology to streamline operations and enhance the guest experience. The GuestWorks platform automates many aspects of property management, from dynamic pricing to guest communications, thereby reducing operational costs and improving efficiency. Additionally, TurnKey's local teams ensure that properties are well-maintained and guests receive prompt, personalized service.
