How to Inspire the Next Generation of Real Estate Investors — Meet Ali Nichols, Co-Founder of Getaway

Meet Ali Nichols — Co-Founder of Getaway. Getaway is on a mission to make vacation rental real estate accessible to the next generations  of investors and to reimagine travel memberships by allowing investors to stay in the premier homes they own.  Ali has been interested in real estate since she was a young child.  She’d come home on Sunday mornings after church and circle listings in the newspaper with open houses she wanted to visit.  After working for technology companies like Uber and Bungalow, Ali was bit by that entrepreneurial bug and began desiring to start her own company.  Tune in to hear the story behind where the idea of Getaway came from and what her goals are for the company over the next 12 months.

Now, we’re lucky — there are a lot of great options in the market, which can’t be said for software platforms in all industries.  That said, I always encourage them to take a good look at Guesty for Hosts — and here’s why: 1. Guesty’s Channel Manager helps you centralize data across the major booking platforms and stay on top of all activity on your listings without having to hop back and forth between channels such as Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo.  2. Guesty’s automation tools enable you to ensure you connect with guests in a meaningful, creative, and instant fashion. You can make custom messages for a variety of situations, from a response to an initial inquiry to a post check-out follow up encouraging your guests to leave a review. 3. It includes a Website Builder feature that allows you to create your own branded booking website in just minutes…allowing you to grow your listing’s brand value and increase your direct bookings.  4. And finally, Guesty just raised over $170 million dollars which means they got some serious cash to continue to seriously invest in their product!   So here’s the deal.  If you’re a STR host without a PMS system or a host looking to explore a new one, I’ve got a treat for you.
