Hey all! I'm under contract for a property in Chimney Rock (near Lake Lure, not too far from Hendersonville, about 30 min from Asheville). Wondering if anyone here has recommendations for cleaners, handymen, landscapers, photographers, drone photographers in the area?
Happy to return the favor in Gulf Shores if needed, where I have my setup complete :)

My recommendation is that if you're managing remote to go ahead and get a PM in place that will take care of all of that for you. Otherwise, if you're determined to do it yourself, join local facebook groups, message boards, etc and start asking around for each of those. It'll be a little bit of a full time job at first, but necessary. If you're just getting started, that could be a lot to manage, especially if you're vetting new cleaners (they're your eyes and ears on the ground and you want to make sure they're good). Don't miss out on bookings in the summer while you're trying to get things in place, it's worth it for a fee while you figure it out.
