Problem or Opportunity
HostEasy is solving the problem of time-consuming and inefficient property management for short-term and mid-term rental property owners. Currently, property managers juggle 14+ different apps and hire multiple virtual assistants across time zones to handle guest communications, scheduling, vendor coordination, and more. Even with these tools, they remain heavily involved in daily operations, making it hard to scale without significant overhead costs. The only alternative is to hire a traditional property management company, which eats up 15-30% of their revenue, with minimal transparency
Solution (product or service)
HostEasy offers a solution by providing an AI-powered platform that automates all property management tasks, enabling property owners to achieve true freedom from day-to-day operations, saving users 15 times more time at 20 times less cost.
This allows them to scale their business efficiently, save time and money, and deliver a consistently high-quality while providing their guests a concierge like tailored service.
