A finance source will generally gravitate to a fair-to-average deal that is managed by a rock star than to a stellar deal that is managed by someone who would screw up a two car funeral.  

I have built up over 50 5 star reviews.

. :)But feel free to check out my company online, I've got 80 ALL 5 Star Google Reviews and would love to help out anytime you ever need in the future @Mason Edwards. :)Wholesalers Transactional Funding

Creative idea and leaving food, water, spices, wine, etc will potentially improve the guest experience and lead to more 5 star reviews.

I do have to say that during the slower times/recession-like periods getting your rental to be 5-star rated is particularly important, so cleanliness, updates, upkeep, etc become more important.

Message me if you're interested and I can send you the cleaning team I use, they're absolute rock-stars and are experienced specifically with Airbnb!

The guests who have stayed in my house have 5 star raving host reviews on Airbnb, so I'm wondering if dirty outlets, sticky things in cabinets, torn blankets, trash not taken out are a normal occurrence I should just accept and move on from?

I don't read all the subforums, I just read the three pages of "trending topics", so I don't know all the posters, just the most prolific onesalso, I don't read all topics, so I really couldn't tell you the "all-stars"I just know who I will ALWAYS read their posts carefully, and almost always learn something from themand they are @jay Hinrichs, @mike dymski, and @brian burkein the same category, but in addition, I almost always smile or chuckle when I read their posts, is @thomas s.there are many more that I am forgetting, but those are the ones that stand out to meI am on a few forums, but this one I am probably the most quiet on, I try to just read and absorb, and chime in where I can, but not very often.

I figured that if the title company going through seller's side is trustworthy enough, and I have had a very amicable open line of communication with all of them, that I would go with them because their all 5 star ratings are better than any I could ever find, and the seller's lawyer has said oh yeah this title company...yeah basically...not saying I have to be over-trusting, but I do get a sense of the situation and get a sense whether I should insist that I use my own etc etc with all the parties involved knowing everyone will be involved, getting a resolution that is sensible and reasonable. thanks again Todd. 

I currently work at a five-star hotel and spa in Cary as a spa concierge.
