A lot of times, Steven Barbarich made it in the news for bad reasons during his early years as an entrepreneur. But today, Steve Barbarich San Francisco businesses helped a lot of people, especially during the height of the pandemic.
Steven Barbarich is now known in both San Francisco and San Diego as a serial entrepreneur who is currently focused on helping homeowners generate income with their properties. Steve Barbarich vacationhomes365 has helped a lot of struggling hosts. With his experience, he managed to turn things around for property owners who are looking for extra income for their real estate.
If you look at the Steve Barbarich San Diego properties that he has handled personally when VacationHomes365 was only starting, a lot of these properties ended up becoming a passive source of income for their homeowners.
So what’s the secret to this type of business? How did Steven Barbarich manage to compete against Airbnb in certain areas?
Offering the best experience to guests
When he was starting VacationHomes365, his vision is to provide the best experience for the guests. Though the hosts need to earn from their property, the one that will bring the money is the customer.
Barbarich focused on providing excellent service to customers bringing the best results to homeowners. However, doing this required a lot of attention to detail. For instance, Barbarich noticed that a lot of hosts on Airbnb never provided airport pickup to their guests. Barbarich offered this type of service. He offered something cheaper than the regular airport pickup service. And at the same time, it was done to build a good first impression on their audience.
Over the years, a lot of hosts on vacation homes 365 experienced a larger influx of guests compared to when they were using Airbnb as their platform of choice.
Offer additional services to help hosts
A lot of homeowners didn't have an idea how to start their vacation home rental business. For those who were clueless as to what they are supposed to do, Barbarich offered support from marketing the property to provide additional manpower in cleaning and managing everything.
On other platforms, a lot of hosts are left on their own to manage their property. It means that they will also have to figure out everything once they decide to become a host.
This can be a bit intimidating given the reality that a lot of people are hesitant to learn a new skill given all the pressure that they currently have in their workplace.
Created an easy-to-use platform
And lastly, Barbarich made use of technology to make it easier for both the guests and the hosts. This way, those who plan on becoming a host will have an easier time posting and providing all the necessary details.
The same can be said on the guests’ end. Here, it became easier for them to book and view different properties available for both short-term and long-term rental. The review system is also something that both hosts and guests loved about Barbarich’s Vacation Homes platform.
