Have not found anything we dislike about Owner Rez reservation system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OwnerRez:

I would recommend 'not to hesitate' after reviewing software details for your vacation rental business. 'Owner Rez' works as advertised (not all do) and most efficiently and cost-effectively with great support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OwnerRez solving and how is that benefiting you?

No problems or issues. How many can say that about the reservation system they are using. We have worked with two other reservation systems prior to 'Owner Rez' that did not work out due to issues. It is a pleasure to be writing an 'excellent' review and working with a reservation system that works. There is a system out there that works great and is reasonably priced to get the job done!

(Original )Information
What do you like best about OwnerRez?

I can't say enough about my positive experience with OwnerRez. I've been in real estate (sales & property management) for 20 years now so I've interacted with a multitude of online platforms and service providers and this has BY FAR been my best experience at getting one set up.

The guidance provided during this entire process is unmatched! Their support team is responsive, precise and professional! I worked with Ken primarily and he was the absolute best. Whenever I got stuck or needed advice or instructions on how to set something up he quickly pointed me in the right direction.

Their platform is organized, efficient, extremely in depth and yet easy to navigate and set up. As with everything, there is a learning curve, but once you get it all going it makes your vacation rental(s) so much easier to manage across the various rental sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OwnerRez?

So far there has not been anything to dislike or complain about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OwnerRez:

Great bang for your buck. The features are amazing. I'm not very techy and was able to get everything set up with their guidance. If you feel overwhelmed, just be patient and take it one step at a time and don't hesitate to contact support for guidance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OwnerRez solving and how is that benefiting you?

Streamlining my vacation rental calendar, listing details and everything else across the various vacation rental platforms where I advertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OwnerRez?

I love that it is American based, which means they offer support on my time clock and I'm not left waiting 2 days for a reply... that then needs another 2 days or more of back and forth emails before any resolution actually starts taking place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OwnerRez?

I'm not really sure if there is anything I don't like about it. I've tried ALL the other PM & CM companies that I could find. I searched regularly for new ones, always trying them out for the trial period. A even paid for and used a couple of them for a few months. But wasn't happy. Then I found OwnerRez! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OwnerRez:

Do it! It's hands down the best option out there! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OwnerRez solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have a better support channel which is extremely important. I have a much better looking website that has brought in way more direct bookings due to its SEO built in to it. Im saving almost half the money it cost with my previous company. I'm saving time due to its ease of use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OwnerRez?

OwnerRez software is awesome! I have been able to easily create my own direct booking site, manage my listings on multiple vacation rental sites in one place including photos, description, booking rules, pricing, and rental agreement, as well as keep track of all my booking records for financial reports. Tech support is really the best and super detailed/thorough. I recommend it 100%! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OwnerRez?

It really does pretty much everything that my business needs so not much to dislike about that. The only thing it doesn’t do is fast automatic messaging in response to inquiries. I use another software in conjunction with OwnerRez and it works as a nice complement to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OwnerRez?

Honestly the support is what kept me after the trial! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OwnerRez?

I tell ya, I haven't found one thing I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OwnerRez:

Look no further. Set aside all the benefits. Think only of the support you'd need. Knowing they are 100% on their game. OwnerRez is the ONLY WAY TO GO!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OwnerRez solving and how is that benefiting you?

First and foremost the Direct Booking Widgets and Websites are what drew me in originally. Allowing users to embed widgets without prompting the guest to change sites, OwnerRez was the only software I found that allowed this. Moving forward I love that I'm able to Managing multiple listings for the properties while being able to use one platform for everything, rental agreements, house rules, etc..

I need to touch base in regards to their Rent Cancellation/Travel Protection + Damage Protection all of which are optional choices for guest during the booking process.

There are so many benefits to using OwnerRez.

Ken & Chris have offered awesome support no matter the issue. Just yesterday I think I emailed them 5 or 6 times and even more today. They are quick with response!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OwnerRez?

I love what this software does for me. The daily tracking and the ease of having the information I need right at my fingertips. The customer support is second to none. I'm learning more and more as I dive into it and there are so many things that OwnerRez anticipated and already have in the software. The customer service has been awesome and very responsive. I'm not techy but they help me through each little road block I hit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OwnerRez?

Granted, there is a learning curve as with any software. So, my own frustration was my biggest enemy. I quickly asked for help when I was lost and always quickly received a response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OwnerRez solving and how is that benefiting you?

My biggest business problem is, what's going on right now, today? The different screens I have at my fingertips helps me keep my pulse on what is happening today, tomorrow and next week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OwnerRez?

OwnerRez software is incredibly easy it is to integrate with a website. Thanks to this software, my guests can check availability, get quotes, book, and check reviews collected from several sights and right on my website. I've never had an issue with my website not performing correctly or with incorrect information being presented to my guests.

For those who are curious about what the guest interface looks like on a self-built website take a look at TheRedwoodRetreat.com. All dynamic information on this website is provided through and controlled by my OwnerRez account. I have only the most basic layman's knowledge of web design, software interface and computer technology in general, yet I was able to build my own website through which guests can book directly with me.

Beyond supporting website integration, OwnerRez has flexibility in almost all aspects of control, from rates and length of stay to seasonality and custom integrations with commercial booking sites such as Airbnb and VRBO. Their custom e-mail templates offer endless possibilities for creating great guest interactions, notifying third parties. I even use them to send myself reminders to give guests special offers when there are short gaps in my calendar.

OwnerRez is constantly making improvements to adapt to the ever-changing vacation rental marketplace. Their help articles and customer support are insightful and provide step-by-step processes for some of the more complicated aspects of set-up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OwnerRez?

There are still more features on OwnerRez than I actually use. This is not a 'con', but it is critically important to take the time to understand how you are supposed to do what you are trying to do when using OwnerRez. The vast flexibility of the program means there is plenty of room for user error. In most cases a warning will present if you create a clear conflict. But if you make an error in your rates and don't catch it, you may be giving a lucky guest a great deal without knowing it.

OwnerRez has done a great job of providing well written, easy to follow help articles. My technique for making sure I don't create problems for myself is to search the help archive for articles regarding what-ever it is I want to do and read them carefully before diving into my project.

There is one area I'd like to see improved: Currently the financial reports provide great information and flexibility. However, they have no way to capture the credit card processing fee's I pay through my merchant account. Providing an integration with merchant accounts which allows credit card processing fees to be captured would bring this area of reporting up to the outstanding standard OwnerRez has already set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OwnerRez solving and how is that benefiting you?

A little over a year before VRBO was purchased by Expedia I had ventured into the vacation rental market with just one property. At that time 95% of my bookings came via VRBO, with the remaining 5% coming from Airbnb. The first year was very good. When ownership of VRBO transferred, my business dropped by nearly 70% and customer support became essentially non-existent. In my frustration with being subject to the whim of large corporations, I was determined to create a simple way for guests to book directly with me. I knew this would mean I needed a way to manage my calendar, present rates and allow online booking. For nearly a week I researched various vacation rental management platforms before deciding OwnerRez was the best fit.

OwnerRez was fantastic, they gave me all kinds of tips on how to build my website, how to set-up a merchant account and how to configure OwnerRez to accurately reflect my intentions. Since onboarding with them I have watched them continually improve their platform, adding more capabilities, simplifying processes and generally adapting to the evolving vacation rental marketplace. Through it all, their interface has remained about the same and their amazing customer support hasn't changed a bit.

Thanks to OwnerRez, my vacation rental is no longer dependent on large booking sites, though I do still take bookings via Airbnb and VRBO. More than 50% of my business comes directly through my website.

I cannot recommend OwnerRez highly enough! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
