VAD

Add doors,
not overhead.

The overhead trap

Growth shouldn't mean a bigger payroll

Every door you add multiplies the back-office load. VAD absorbs it so margin scales with your portfolio — not against it.

Without VAD
  • After-hours messages pile up overnight — and a slow 2am reply becomes a 1-star review.
  • Every new door means more guest threads, more turnovers, more owner emails to chase.
  • Hiring and training in-house ops staff is slow, expensive, and hard to scale evenly.
  • Critical process lives in one person's head, so growth stalls the moment they're out.
With VAD
  • A dedicated, STR-trained VA answers guests in under 60 seconds, day or night.
  • Add doors without adding payroll — seats scale seat-by-seat as your portfolio grows.
  • We embed in ~2 weeks and document every SOP, so the knowledge stays in your operation.
  • One remote ops layer running guest comms, calendars, turnovers and owner reporting.

How it works

From audit to embedded in ~2 weeks

A real sequence, not a sales funnel. You leave step one with value even if you never hire us.

  1. 01

    Free ops audit

    We map your stack, your door count and your gaps — where response times slip, where margin leaks, what's stuck in someone's head. You leave with a clear picture even if you never hire us.

  2. 02

    Match & train a dedicated VA

    We hand-match an STR-trained VA to your operation and train them on your tools — your PMS, your pricing platform, your turnover system — plus your house rules and tone.

  3. 03

    Embed & ramp

    Week one is shadowing and SOP capture. By week two your VA is live on guest comms, calendar and turnovers with QA checks, and every process is documented as we go.

  4. 04

    Scale

    As you add doors, we add seats. Spin up after-hours coverage, layer in pricing and marketing, or grow to a full VA team — without growing your in-house payroll.

Operators who added doors without adding headcount

★★★★★
"We added 40 doors in a year without a single in-house hire. Our VAD assistant runs guest comms and turnovers in Hostaway like she's sat next to me — the margin math just works."
Maya R.Operations Director · 120-door PM companyAustin, TX
★★★★★
"Owner churn was killing us. Now owners get a clean monthly statement and same-day answers, and our renewal rate is the best it's ever been. That alone paid for the whole engagement."
Daniel K.Founder & Principal · 65-door PM companyScottsdale, AZ
★★★★★
"A guest was locked out at 1am on a Saturday. Our VA had the cleaner and the smart-lock code sorted in eleven minutes. That would have been a 1-star review and a refund — instead we got a 5-star."

FAQ

Questions PMs ask first

Coverage, security, contracts and how we fit alongside your local co-hosts.

What time zones and hours do you cover?

Your dedicated VA works your core hours, and we can add an after-hours and overnight rota so guests get a real human response 24/7 — including across the time zones your properties sit in. We map coverage to where your doors and your guests actually are.

How long until a VA is fully ramped?

Roughly two weeks to a full embed. Week one is shadowing and SOP capture inside your tools; by week two your VA is handling live guest, calendar and turnover work with QA checks. We document everything as we go, so the knowledge stays with your operation.

Which tools and PMS platforms do you support?

We train VAs on your stack: Guesty, Hostaway, Hospitable and OwnerRez for PMS; PriceLabs and Wheelhouse for revenue; Breezeway and Turno for turnovers; plus Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. If you run something else, we learn it during the ramp.

How do you handle data security and access control?

Your VA works inside your systems with least-privilege, role-based access that you grant and can revoke at any time. We use your password manager, enforce 2FA, sign confidentiality terms, and never store guest or owner data outside your tools.

What are the contract terms and how do I cancel?

Every plan is month-to-month with a simple 30-day notice. No long lock-ins. If you scale down or pause, you give 30 days and we hand back fully documented SOPs so your operation keeps running.

How is this different from a generic VA or Airbnb's Co-Host Network?

A generic VA isn't trained on STR tools or the cadence of a property-management operation. Airbnb's Co-Host Network is a local, per-listing co-host. VAD is your remote ops layer — STR-trained, embedded in your PMS, running the whole portfolio's back office. We complement local co-hosts; we don't replace your on-the-ground presence.
