Thanks for that info. I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Thanks! So far this is what I know

- they list on all online platforms for free

- they take photos for free

- they have a 24/7 call number for guests/bookings

- they will contact the cleaning business of my choice or suggest a partner in the area. (They have already put me in touch with a service)

- they have an outside vendor that will collect taxes for us

The rep for my area has been very helpful. I am just not sure if the market is moving that way or if we should stay with a local agency. The 2%  plus charges for listings and photos is difficult financially. 

We have a farm in the NC mountains with 4 vacation rental cabins. Our local rental management company take 25% and we pay for all listings on VRBO/Homeaway/TripAdvisor/Flipkey, photos, videos, etc. They only take 10% and list on all major sites for free. They take photos for free as well. They will email the cleaning agency of my choosing each time there is a booking ot change. They seem to have a good system in place. My worry with leaving the local agency is the personal attention that guests receive when they call. Is the market for vacation rental management moving in this direction?  Has anyone had any experience with Evolve Vacation Rental management?
