Should I cancel Evolve

[Lianna Utley]

Hello all: I'm one year into my vacation rental and I am debating canceling Evolve as my property management company. I was nervous to take it on all myself at first but now a year in I am questioning how much they are really helping. Does anyone have experience with this? I saw a post from several years ago that when someone canceled with them they were able to keep bookings that were already scheduled. Is this still true? For year one I did ok - about broke even but I had a couple lower reviews early on (lessons learned) and starting from scratch with wipe some of those, but also all my good reviews would also be gone. thoughts? Also open to options on trying to get direct bookings - can you get in trouble with Airbnb/VRBO if you try to drum up directs?
