Who does the testing.
Reviews written by hosts and owners who test managers and tools against real listings.
Every review follows how we test and our editorial policy.
Junie Halvorsen
Editor-in-chief
Has let a cabin on the Peak to Peak through nine winters, three of them with the highway closed at least once. She grades management companies on what their winter and wildfire plans say in writing, because those are the clauses that decide a Boulder County year.
Ted Vasquez
Fees and contracts
Reads exit clauses before rate cards. Has moved two mountain properties between managers and writes the fee comparisons on this desk.
Sylvie Marchetti
Software and automation
Ran turnovers and guest messaging for a small canyon portfolio before writing about the tools. Covers what actually works without a property-management system underneath it.
