A Boutique Approach to Pricing: Hands-On and Dynamic Revenue Management

By Cody Brown, Revenue Manager, Property Valet

At Property Valet, my focus is simple: to ensure every owner earns the highest possible return while keeping their property competitive in a constantly evolving market.

Strategic Pricing, Managed for You.
The vacation rental market changes daily. Demand shifts based on seasonality, local events, weather, booking trends, and how far in advance guests are searching. Setting one nightly rate and leaving it unchanged simply doesn’t reflect how guests actually book.

That’s why we use best-in-class dynamic pricing systems enhanced by daily engagement, a data-driven approach that allows your pricing to adapt in real time.


What Property Valet Owners Can Expect

Every property is priced strategically using professional revenue management tools combined with hands-on market oversight we continuously evaluate, such as:

  • Seasonal demand and booking pace

  • Local events, holidays, and peak travel periods

  • Booking lead times and last-minute demand

  • Comparable properties in your market

  • Historical performance and real-time market data

This ensures your property is always competitively positioned while maximizing total revenue, not just occupancy.


What This Means for You as an Owner

1) Higher Annual Revenue


Our focus isn’t just filling nights, it’s maximizing your total yearly revenue. Peak dates are priced to reflect their true value, while slower periods are adjusted strategically to attract bookings without unnecessary discounting.


2) Stronger Peak-Season Performance


High-demand weekends, holidays, and event-driven dates are where revenue is won or lost. We make sure your property is positioned to fully capitalize on these opportunities.


3) Fewer Vacancy Gaps and Competitive Market Positioning


As dates approach, pricing adapts to encourage last-minute bookings when needed, helping reduce empty nights while protecting long-term pricing strategy.

Your property is continuously benchmarked against similar listings in your area, ensuring it stays competitive while still reflecting its quality and unique features.


4) Hands-on Pricing Management


Pricing is never “set it and forget it”. We personally review each property’s pricing daily, while our management team meets weekly to evaluate rates for every listing. This ensures we stay on top of market shifts, seasonality, and local demand.

By combining dynamic pricing tools with fixed pricing strategies when it makes sense, we remain flexible during changing conditions while securing strong rates during peak periods. This hands-on approach allows us to consistently optimize performance and maximize returns for our clients.

Many of our competitors say they do this on their website, but the results show different. Property Valet consistently outperforms other vacation rental management companies and self managers in all of our markets.
