Does anyone have experience dealing with placement agencies in Scottsdale?

[Alexander Knox]

Hello! 

I own a mid-term rental in Scottsdale and do majority of my business on Zillow and Furnished Finder. Although these sites are great, I am looking for a more consistent lead pipeline. If anyone has experience working with a placement agency, travel nurse recruiter/placement service, I'd love to hear your suggestions on how to get in touch with them and/or share some contacts I could reach out to.

Thanks a lot for any help!

Hey @Alexander Knox! You are definitely headed in the right direction when thinking about creating a consistency in your pipeline. I am in Boise, and some of the tactics I have used is building relationships with your hospital recruiters. You can typically do a quick search to get in contact with these offices, but the first goal should be relationship building and talk with them around your goals, etc. From my dozen or so travel nurse friends, these offices can be a hit or miss, but sometimes they can connect you with larger travel agencies in the area and from there the same applies with building a relationship with these folks.

You can also register you home on multiple diferent platforms and companies that work with families or professionals being placed due to insurance reasons or coorperate housing. Here are a few that I have my place registered with:

I will end with this, this method takes a lot of persistance, relationship building, and playing the long game.  It will not automatically provide a consistent pipeline but continual communication with these folks, seeing what type of housing or needs they have been getting more frequently, and staying top of mind can definitely pan out. Currently in conversations with an agency for a 12 month contract for coorperate housing starting June 2024 that could pay out close to $30k, but this took 8 months of work, consitently communicating/learning haha. (current rent is $1850; this contract would pay $2400 a month).
