Own With Confidence.

Most property managers stop where we get started.

We focus on protecting, maintaining, and maximizing the value of your vacation property.

A second home or short term rental (STR) property is more than just a getaway—it’s an asset. To ensure it grows in value, you need a plan. We create and implement a comprehensive Property Master Plan that preserves, enhances, and optimizes your real estate investment.

And yes, we can also integrate STR operations and hospitality management to align with your long-term goals.

Enjoy the peace of mind of knowing your vacation property is fully handled.

Maintain Your Investment

Every property is unique and has an individual personality. Climate, construction method and use all make a difference in how the property will weather over time.

Failing to plan for future improvements and repairs can have a negative impact on your property’s value of 5% - 15% — or more!

Increase Revenue

A properly maintained property will attract top tier guests at premium rates. Making a plan for capital improvements can bring added value, and plans can be phased to accommodate your time frame and budget.

An excellent maintenance plan helps you keep your property looking and functioning at it’s best. Great looking and well maintained properties book more at higher rates, generating 10-30% more revenue.

Less Hassle

Staying on top of all the issues that pop up with your remote property can be overwhelming. Many “property managers” are actually tenant communication managers and hospitality hosts and there are a lot of “owner’s responsibilities” making your property a burden.

Let Upson Downes handle the ownership-level issues of running your vacation home or STR and free up time to live your best life.
