Elevate Your Property Investment with Wichita Mountains Lodge’s Expert Management Solutions
We offer property management services to unique, luxury homes that offer a special place to visitors and whose owners aim to offer superior properties at a premium price. We have spent 9 years developing an experience that delivers more comfort, more fun, and a family, large group focused stay.
We leverage the most sophisticated technology stack in our market to:
Drive more demand
Reduce dependence on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO
Target higher margin direct bookings
Create more repeat stays
Earn more “slow” period bookings than other competitors in the market.
We aim for greater social media and web search visibility and combine that with an intentional email marketing follow up to our followers and past guests.
Our marketing approach attracts a disproportionately upscale guest pool compared to the average in the market assuring more revenue, more profit, and less wear and tear on our homes.
Thorough Tenant Screening and Selection: With meticulous screening processes, we carefully vet potential tenants to find the best match for your property, minimizing risks and ensuring reliable rental income using our Superhog service checking criminal, credit and sex predator info on every guest coming via direct booking or VRBO.
We are members of the Better Business Bureau and Lawton Chamber of Commerce who seek to be good stewards for our guests, our community, and our owners.
We pay our cleaning and support team above market rates demanding loyalty, reliability, and their attention to much more than cleaning. They verify that disposables are well stocked, damaged linens and other items are noted and replaced, an maintenance items are noted. Additionally, Sara and I and key members of the team inspect and identify issues for repair on a rolling basis. Plus, we maintain annual repair and maintenance activities like pruning back shrubs and trees, treating septic systems, and inspecting for routine maintenance issues. Additionally, our operating approach is that all features, mechanicals, appliances, etc. should be etc. should be in fully working, undamaged condition. We immediately schedule all issues for repair as soon as they are identified.
With transparent financial reporting and meticulous budgeting, we provide peace of mind by managing all financial aspects of your property, including collections, invoicing, and expense tracking. A highlight we take pride in, is that we have collected either from Airbnb or from the guests on 100% of damage or loss incidents.
Due to increasing demands we are always looking for more properties so if you are a landlord looking to sell or rent your property, Ginger & Gold can find the perfect solution for you.
If you are considering selling, we can look to agree a purchase option (often full market value) and discuss this option during a free confidential chat with us.
We work with nationwide businesses, airports and hospitals to help house their professional employees, cabin crews and doctors, who need accommodation in the area.
They cannot commit to long AST’s as they may be in the area for only a short period of time (a few days up to 6 months). That’s where we come in and provide accommodation on a short term basis to them while ensuring we meet our obligations to you as our landlord or client.
We fill gaps by letting the property to well vetted guests who need accommodation while visiting the area for leisure and to families who need accommodation due to work being carried out on their main residence (often insurance companies are funding the stays).
We take on properties which we have first done due diligence on to assess the demand in the area to see if the property would be suitable to be used as a serviced accommodation.
We identify which guest profile is likely to need accommodation in your property – leisure guests, contractors, corporate guests or a mixture. We would never take on a property that is not appropriate for serviced accommodation or holiday letting.
It is from our due diligence that we can deduce if we can offer you one of the following, either :
If your property is unsuitable for our needs but you are still looking for a solution, we are sure to put you in touch with someone who can help! (we have a wide network of associates here in Norfolk)
Option 1 – We become your tenant
Our company becomes your tenant under a company lease agreement and we provide the following benefits :
Option 2 – We manage the property as short term lets on your behalf (like a regular letting agent)
On this option we market your property in the same way as option 1, however the key differences are :- The return varies from month to month and could be higher than the guaranteed rent amount. All profit from short term stays are received by the owner, after costs and fees have been deducted (i.e Bills, linen, cleaning fees). There is no minimum guaranteed rent. (i.e if bookings were low, the return would reflect this). All furnishings are paid for by the owner (we can source and setup this if you wish as an additional service). We receive 15% of the total gross income that we make from bookings on your property, we are highly motivated to get you a higher income for the property as this is beneficial to both parties as you, in turn, get a higher profit.
