for STRs i automate the initial booking message, a msg a few days before, a msg with their checkin instructions the morning of, a msg 24h after arrival, a msg the night before checkout, and a msg a few hours after checkout. in doing so, you'll never have to manually reach out unless they have a problem/question. the key is write your automated messages so they sound authentic and friendly, anticipate the guest's needs before they can ask questions, and constantly tweak your process if you find that you're still having to answer the same Qs over and over.

Most of the time, authentic courses/gurus don't charge an arbitrary high number FYI. 

In Tulum town, it's more authentic, and lower price.

There is also a reference to Huntington in one of the BP threads about 8 months back whereby the buyer felt bait-and-switched when it came to close on the property.I don't want to jump ship from a smooth process with GR but I'm not sure how to verify the authenticity of the offer and my good-standing to qualify.Help would be appreciated!

Investors want to work with individuals who are not only knowledgeable but also authentic and trustworthy.

Bill Gulley seemed to be in on the whole fiasco by hinting at the fact that you weren't there to be able to confirm the authenticity of this person.For the sake of full disclosure - I also never saw any of his cats with him.  

I don;t see Nike do bandit signs do you?

@Ellie Hanson  how do you handle the kids that chain themselves to the tree's you need to cut down on your 50/100 lot to build a new house.. and to make matters even stranger the tree's many times are not natives  :)And whats up with the Zoo I missed that one are they mad at the new Elephant exhibit.And Oregon would not be here if it were not for the timber industry ... such short memories Techtronix  Intel  Nike are all companies that came in the 80's with Tech maybe a little earlier .. for the preceeding 150 years it was timber.
