Furnished Rentals for Discerning Professionals

How does Iris Properties work?

First get in touch with one of our team members. We will walk you through our services and see if your home will be a good fit. There are many legal and tax aspects to running a vacation rental and we want to ensure we can provide the best service for you. If you move forward, you will sign a standard management agreement. We will coordinate a visit to your property to do an initial inspection, compile amenities & photos for our listings, and provide you with a list of deficiencies and suggestions to make for a better rental. We aim to get listings up and running within 1-week of signing an agreement.

Once your listing is created and the home is ready for guests, we can start accepting rentals! Our management includes taking care of all your online listings, answering all guest questions, handling and collecting all payments, housekeeping, regular inspections, and collecting reviews for your rental to keep guests coming back.

We are a full-service agency and will handle each and every aspect of your rental with the highest care. This all leads to more happy guests, reviews, and rental revenue.
