product they are building, not as documents they put together once and forget about it.
If you want to see what it looks like when an operator builds this on fifteen hundred units without adding more head count, watch my interview with Konstantin Schroeder of RBO next.
I'll see you there.
Everyone in short-term rentals is trying to stand out.
Better photos, better listings, better pricing, more automation.
But what if the real problem is not visibility, but replaceability?
Because if a guest remembers the house, but not the company they booked with, you don't have a brand.
You have inventory.
In this episode, I'm joined by Rachel Allday, co-founder of Abode Luxury Rentals, a boutique operator with more than 200 luxury homes across Park City, Jackson Hole, and the Sun Valley.
We talked about why so many operators get trapped competing on price, why luxury is not just a price point, how service, standards, culture and direct relationships create real differentiation and why profitability matters more than pure growth.
And if this conversation makes you think about how to become less dependent on platforms and build a business, guests actually remember you can book a consultation with me through the link in the description.

Welcome back to STR Global Unlocked.
I'm Simon Leeman.
Today, I'm talking to Rachel Olday, co-founder of Abode Luxury Rentals.
And I'll say it blankly, most operators are stuck competing on price because nothing about them is hard to replace.
A guest booked a house, not a company, and never remembers who they booked with.
And I know what I'm talking about.
