Leaving Hostaway because of the 2% booking fee?

ProConnect

Many OwnerRez users prefer to set up their account, using our support documents and videos as well as our help desk at help@ownerrez.com.

However, some users would rather have assistance setting up their account. The ProConnect Service, with your assistance, provides end-to-end setup and review of your account with OwnerRez's own Customer Success Engineers ensuring that your properties are set up completely and accurately including descriptions, photos, amenities, etc., and correctly synced to any API connected listing channels.

ProConnect Service Pricing

ProConnect Service clients may choose to add on the ProTransfer Service for an additional $150 for the first 2 properties, $50 per property for properties 3-9 and then $25 per property for each additional property.

Number of Properties ProConnect Only ProConnect + ProTransfer
First 2 properties $500 total $650 total
Properties 3 - 9 $150 each property $200 each property
Properties 10+ $100 each property $125 each property

ProConnect Service Timeline and Involvement

While the ProConnect Service is a premium service, it is NOT an express service and is expected to be completed in 3 - 6 weeks. We provide up to a maximum of 45 days to complete the process. To be successful, this process requires your regular involvement to ensure we have all the data required. Similarly, this is not a service that remains available for months at a time. It is our goal to get your account up and running as quickly as possible. 

The ProConnect Service cannot succeed without your involvement and a number of the steps will require you, the OwnerRez user, to access personal information not available to your Onboarding Engineer. In addition, only you can determine your business rules and policies and we are here to assist you with implementing those.

ProConnect Service Checklist

When you sign up for the OwnerRez ProConnect Service you will be assigned an agent who will assist you through the process. The first list of questions below will allow them to get started setting up your account and to also import data from your listing sites (Airbnb, Vrbo). Even though some of the info requested below may already be in your listings, we ask that you tell us your preferences since there can be differences with how platforms are configured. This will allow us to set up your account as close to your requirements as possible.

Once we’ve done the initial work, we will need you to get more directly involved as we set up connections to the listing channels and make adjustments to your website settings. Since these steps require you to log into your accounts with a username and password, we are unable to do this for you. However, we can advise and assist on what needs to be done and can schedule a screen share session if needed.

After setup and configuration are largely complete, we’ll consult with you, and address any final issues or missing information at that time.

With that said, here is the first list of questions that will allow your assigned agent to get started on your setup.
