Derek and Lauren Gisriel at LevelUp Stays never planned to start a property management company.

They bought their first short-term rental in Texas Hill Country, drawn in by the tax benefits of real estate investing. They soon realized they had a knack for it after they turned a property that had earned $64,000 in its best year into one generating $190,000 in their first year of management. Guests noticed, and soon people were asking, "Can you do the same for me?"

That's how LevelUp Stays was born.

Naturally, growth brought more owners, more guests and more messages. In the early days, Derek and Lauren were never really off the clock. A guest question could interrupt dinner, and a property issue could mean a late-night call.

Their first PMS worked for a handful of properties.. but getting more advanced features meant meeting a minimum property threshold and rebuilding their listings, right as their first employee was joining. They wanted a platform they wouldn't outgrow.

Today, Hostaway sits at the center of their operations.

🔄 Unified Inbox keeps guest conversations from multiple booking channels in one place
⚡ 300 to 400 automated messages go out daily, plus an integrated AI assistant for guest questions
📊 Owner Portal and automated owner statements give owners clear visibility into their financials
🔌 Integrations connect cleaning, smart locks, thermostats and dynamic pricing

Here's where that decision led:

🏡 From around 4 properties to approximately 85 across Texas, Florida and South Carolina
📈 Average gross revenue 53% above market performance
📅 80.8% adjusted paid occupancy vs. a 47.2% market average
⭐ Approximately 13,000 guests hosted in 2025 with a 99.5% five-star rating
👥 A lean team of 5 full-time employees plus an operations manager

And they're on track to reach 100 properties by the end of 2026.

Derek's advice for other property managers: "Figure out how you can optimally use tools like Hostaway, its integrations, and AI to deliver a seamless experience. First for your owners, so they give you more properties and more referrals. And second for your guests, so you get the five-star reviews that snowball into more and more reservations."

Owner statements are one of the most time-consuming parts of managing properties on behalf of owners, and doing them manually every month adds up fast. Dubai based FIRST CLASS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT founders explain what changed after they automated owner statements with Hostaway, from the hours they got back to the small efficiency gains that compounded over time.

They also talk about something a lot of managers overlook: giving owners direct access to their own information. When owners can log in and see their numbers themselves, the constant back-and-forth drops off and trust goes up. As Luis Santos puts it, "I don't think we see Hostaway as a service provider, more like a partner."

If you're still building owner statements by hand, or fielding the same owner questions every month, this is what the alternative looks like.

Vrbo is moving to a flat 12% pay-per-booking commission on October 29th, replacing the 5% booking fee for listings connected through a PMS. We've seen a lot of debate about whether 12% is fair. Here's how our CEO looks at it:

⚖️ If you've got different OTAs operating on different pricing models, it's not the same playing field.. One standard rate range makes channel costs easier to compare. You can see what each one takes, what you net on a booking, and which channels are earning their place in your mix.

🤝 Keep in mind that OTAs are referring business to you. If someone brings you a large volume of guests and you're happy with what those guests earn you, paying them 10%, 15% or even 20% is a straightforward trade.
You get to truly look at your own channel mix, and then you get to evaluate your relationship.

See the full breakdown and what to check before October 29th on our blog.
