10 BIG reasons why KZ Cabins should be your property manager (and why our revenues increase every single year):

1.  Professionally Trained and Educated – The Owner of KZ Cabins has a college degree from The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) plus a 12-year international corporate career with one of the largest engineering and construction companies in the world, specializing in management, sales and marketing, and internet technologies so all of that knowledge, innovation and experience gets translated directly into all the facets of our vacation home rental business. KZ Cabins is run as a professional, fiscally responsible and reputable business that is growing every year.
2. Technology driven - We understand the industry and the technologies needed to be the leader in this business. The internet has transformed the way vacationers search for and book travel.  We are experts at applying modern web technologies to business processes. Couple that with leveraging more than a decade of marketing and sales experience and techniques makes for powerful technology driven sales and marketing engine. KZ Cabins consistently achieves top rankings in major online search engines to access the HUGE market of vacationers that are looking for memorable and comfortable getaways.  We are partnered with LiveRez, a highly innovative and successful systems provider that specializes in Vacation Home management systems and SEO implementations. Just browse around our website and compare its speed, design, looks and functionality to other vacation rental websites in the Southeast or even around the U.S and you’ll see how the technology is among the best there is.
3. Industry and Market awareness – We are actively involved in leading industry organizations to keep our fingers on the pulse of leisure travel and vacation home rentals. We are members of the Vacation Rental Managers Association (VRMA), active on industry focus panels and attend monthly industry conferences – all to keep the most current trends and awareness applied to our business model.  Furthermore we are pioneering a new online travel host agency called Rovia. This technology is revolutionizing online travel and is now available through KZ Cabins to book all kind of travel at cheap prices, not just Vacation homes but Group Travel, Cruises, All Inclusive Resort getaways, and more. Visit this website at www.kzgetaways.rovia.com and register as a preferred guest to take advantage of huge savings in travel!
4. Strategic Alliances - We have developed strategic partnerships with HomeAway.com and Orbitz.com, two MAJOR online vacation providers, both of which recently had commercials during the Super Bowl and will aid in accessing the HUGE network of travelers and vacationers which ultimately translates into more rental revenues for our partner home owners. Our recent involvement with Rovia.com will tap into the 3 Trillion dollar global travel market to drive even more travelers to check out our vacation homes.
5. Visual Marketing – Probably the second most important aspect of online marketing (behind strong search engine placement) is Visual marketing. Having a visually pleasing, easy to navigate and functionally complete website is paramount. KZ Cabins has invested a great deal of time and effort in designing a quality website experience for potential vacationers that acts as an extension of our staff 24/7, weekends and holidays, 365 days a year.  From the large, high-quality photography, embedded slide shows, interactive Google maps, appealing graphic design, to the one-click weather gadgets, integrated Travel Insurance module, high value content and past guest testimonials, our visual marketing and website functionality is second to none. We are planning the addition of high-def virtual walkthroughs and community overviews in 2010 that will add even more compelling reasons or vacationers to book a luxury cabin with KZ Cabins instead of through a dull, dreary competitor website that lacks visual support or informative content.
6. Highly Innovative – From a technology standpoint, we were the first company in this region to apply the LiveRez booking engine to our business just a few years ago and now nearly half the major vacation home managers in our region have switched to the same platform. That in itself speaks to our innovation and regional leadership. In addition, we are constantly developing or optimizing new programs for our partner home owners that drive more revenues to them as well as offering new innovative programs to our guests that allow them to have a more memorable, problem-free vacation with us. KZ Cabins understands that different property owners have different requirements and involvement levels they want with their vacation property. While some are in the rental program as long distance investment opportunities, others just want a bit of extra income between Owner occupancies or choose to be closely involved with the maintenance and management of the cabin.  To better match up with Owner requirements, KZ Cabins has developed a series of innovative property management service contracts and contract options that range from online reservations only all the way to full blown property management, maintenance care of your property. Our management fees are competitive and vary depending on the level of service and which option packages our owners choose that suites their particular situation.
7. Home Owner incentives - From the property management side, KZ Cabins sees its Home Owners as business partners because it benefits us both to have well performing vacation rentals. We have developed innovative incentive programs and marketing strategies to maximize rental income while protecting the Home Owner’s real estate investment at the same time. Some examples of our recent innovative incentive programs are the “Owner Booking Incentive Program” where Owners act as an extension of our reservations staff and receive added commissions for booking guests into their property themselves through our website. Our new “Extended Online Marketing Management Program” introduced recently gives access to our Home Owners to two of the largest online leisure travel companies to expose their properties to millions of more travelers. Our “Money Back Supply Program” and our new "Hybrid Front-End Property Management Program" offer increased shares of revenue for placing more of the property management scope onto the Home Owner. We are also in the process of introducing new “Tiered Home Maintenance and Repair” plans that integrate right into our standards property management contracts so we can offer an entire suite of program options that suit the needs of each individual property owner, designed to save the Owner more time and more money.  No other company offers as many different ways for the Property Owner to earn as much revenue as possible while still leveraging the marketing power of KZ Cabins.
8. Locally active – KZ Cabins is an active member of the Gilmer County Chamber of Commerce and Gilmer Tourism Committee to promote tourism and travel in our region. We are members of local industry summits to exchange ideas and best practices and motivate businesses to be proactive in attracting out of town visitors. We frequently partner with local businesses to increase circulation of our inventory through local business store fronts who then offer reciprocal benefits back to our guests. KZ Cabins also has created a regional Travel Club to promote leisure travel and tourism as a whole and to expose our services and inventory to wider regional markets. For all these reasons we have become a respected and reputable local business in a relatively short amount of time.
9. Quality Control – Operationally, we have close to the best quality control program around. We have highly skilled and responsible housekeeping contractors that execute a lengthy and thorough cleaning scope EVERY TIME – no exceptions. We demand uber-cleanliness. Our detailed pre-arrival checklists ensure every guest arrives at a fully functional, totally prepared and comfortable cabin EVERY TIME. Our Post-Departure service is twice as detailed and combs through the property to ensure there are no problems issues or damages. Any issues are captured and addressed immediately so they don’t present any form of problem for the next guests. That’s three forms of quality control surrounding EVERY SINGLE reservation which eliminates unforeseen problems, frustrations and unsatisfied guests and increases repeat customers and new referrals.  From the back office standpoint, our records keeping and reservations process is totally seamless, efficient and streamlined. We are easily able to manage over 30 actively rented properties AND drive our Quality Control program with minimum resources, We’ve never had a double-booking and we rarely receive complaints related to details or services we are directly responsible for. That’s evidence of excellent  Quality Control.
10. Customer Focused. Everything we do revolves around how we can better service our guests and our Home Owner partners. We are super pro-active so that 99% of potential issues remain non-issues and never arise. On the rare occasions an issue does arise, we address it immediately any time of day or night and that translates into happy customers who come back over and over again because they know they are taken care of. We freely offer references from both past and present Home Owners by request so you can hear for yourself how real Home Owners like you felt about our programs and services. We freely post guest testimonials on our website, both good and ‘needs improvement’ so other potential guests can read the real honest truth about how our previous guests perceive our services and our product. Customers are our life fuel. Without them, we do not exist, therefore we focus wholeheartedly on their satisfaction without compromising the business of earning income for our Home Owners.
11. Bonus Reason: Passion and Enthusiasm- I think most importantly, we’re Passionate about what we do.  We live and breathe this business. We love this business. We get excited every time the phone rings and every time a new booking comes in through the internet. We are driven and committed to be the preferred provider of excellent vacation home rentals in the area and we have all the necessary ingredients for that. And during a time when other Property Managers are downsizing and going out of business, we are experiencing record growth and are more in demand than ever.

So there you have 10 BIG reasons, plus a Bonus Reason, as to why you should consider choosing KZ Cabins as your property manager and why we are quickly becoming the property manager of choice in the north Georgia mountains.
