Evolve Vacation Rental Brings White-Glove Service To Online Listings

Vacation homes sit empty most of the year, representing a huge amount of untapped inventory waiting to be discovered online. Large services such as HomeAway, VRBO, and TripAdvisor's FlipKey are taking advantage of this market opportunity, but for many vacation homeowners managing their listings online is still too much of a hassle. They end up handing over the keys to local rental property managers instead or not even listing their properties. A new startup in Denver called Evolve Vacation Rental takes more of a white-glove approach to marketing vacation homes online. Evolve starts with a phone consultation with each homeowner, gathers the property information and photos, and then lists it across various vacation rental websites, including HomeAway, VRBO, and FlipKey, as well as its own site. The homeowners do not have to pay for any of the listings (which they would if they listed on their own). Evolve takes all the risk and if it rents out the property, it tales a 10 percent fee.
