Property 01

Poolside Retreat, Gulf Coast FL

A 4-bedroom beachside home with a private pool, sport court, and large outdoor entertaining space. The owner was self-managing pricing with a static nightly rate and had not updated the listing copy or photos in over two years.

Gulf Coast, Florida

This property had strong fundamentals but was invisible in search. The listing hadn't been touched since 2022, the photo order buried the pool (its top asset), and pricing was flat year-round with no seasonal or demand-based adjustment.

Property 02

Modern Villa, Tampa Bay Area

A recently renovated 5-bedroom villa with a heated pool, outdoor kitchen, and proximity to Tampa's top attractions. High-quality property, but the listing was underperforming relative to its physical product due to poor positioning and a generic pricing strategy.

Tampa Bay Area, Florida

This villa had a recent renovation but the listing still described the pre-renovation property. Photos were a mix of old and new. Pricing didn't reflect the premium product, and the listing sat buried on page 4 of search results.

Property 03

Mountain Estate, Candler NC

A 6-bedroom, 5,000 sq ft mountain retreat 20 minutes from Asheville with a heated saltwater pool, private theater, game room, sauna, hot tub, fire pit, and hidden speakeasy. A 5.0-star Guest Favourite with 88 amenities—but the listing was underperforming on revenue due to pricing gaps and low search visibility for group bookings.

Candler, North Carolina

This property had every amenity a group could want but was invisible to the guests searching for them. The listing wasn’t optimized for group-stay queries, the pricing model left peak weekends undervalued by $200+/night, and the 88 amenities weren’t translating into filtered search visibility.
