How it works
The process of getting our five-star service
-
Initial Call
#1 Give us a call, or send an email
Give us a call or send us a note, and we will be more than happy to chat about your vacation home and gather a few initial details, and answer any questions you may have. From here, we can schedule a time to visit your home.
-
Home Evaluation
#2 We visit your home
At this point, our sales lead will visit your home to provide a comprehensive evaluation to determine the optimum pricing for your home. This evaluation allows us to hone in on the ideal income guarantee for your vacation home. This will then be formalized into a proposal for your review.
-
Our Proposal
#3 Pricing Proposal and Meeting
After reviewing everything collected during the evaluation, we will create a pricing proposal for you that provides a guaranteed income amount so you'll know beforehand exactly how much you'll be paid for the season.
Once you have a chance to review, we will meet again to go over any questions you have about the proposal.
-
Agreement
#4 Homeowner Agreement and Meeting
Once the proposal is accepted, we draft a homeowner agreement that addresses all the details about your rental agreement so that you and Del Mar are on the same page with everything from the get-go. We will meet to go over the contract and address any questions you may have.
-
Onboarding
#5 Getting your home ready to rent
Once your contract is signed, we begin our job as full-service managers; photographing, listing, and booking your home while you relax and collect a guaranteed income.
Homeowner FAQs
Is there a minimum number of weeks I have to rent?
No, we will do our best to maximize your income around the time you’d like to use it. Our model is flexible for owners to enjoy their home as much as they’d like throughout the rentable period.
What is the fee for listing through Del Mar?
There is no fee for our service. All of our homeowners receive a guaranteed income, and we work to earn our “fee” or service costs by earning extra reservations that may not exist through alternatives.
Where do you market the homes?
We manage all of our listings exclusively through our reservations system that pushes to over 50 platforms worldwide, including our direct booking site.
How do you ensure guests aren’t disrespectful?
Since all of our service teams work directly for Del Mar, everyone is trained with one goal in mind - to keep up the quality of your home. From the high level communications with guests to our trash pick ups, there are always reliable team members checking in prior to and during the reservation process.
Are there any upfront costs to working with you?
No. Listing your home has no out-of-pocket costs! We will complete an inventory during our onboarding process, and let you know if there are any suggested items to elevate the overall marketability of your home and guest experience.
What happens if something is lost or broken?
We are your partner. This means you will never be held accountable for Guest damages. We have the industry’s leading Guest Damage Protection Guarantee, offering coverage for your home above and beyond the Guest’s security deposit.
