Property Management Services

Personal Service

Communication and responsiveness are key ingredients in any successful business partnership, and certainly apply to a property management program. At  FrioMan, we are easily accessible via phone, emails, and in person.

Web Site

Through FrioMan’s comprehensive, user-friendly website, planning a vacation is made easy. Vacationers can search for a home based on their personal preferences, view interior & exterior photographs, check rates & availability, and much more! In addition to detailed photography, descriptions including amenities are provided for every vacation home. A listing of local activities, directions to Concan, local (printable) directional maps and more can be found here. To help ease them into a Frio River state-of-mind, our website also features our very own FrioMan Blog with up to date pictures and stories of the area.

E-Marketing

Our focus has been on marketing through the internet, by far the most effective medium for reaching consumers planning vacation travel and recreation. Search engine interfaces, cooperative website links, banner ads and extensive statistical analysis are all part of our on-going campaign to utilize the latest techniques and technology to maximize vacation rentals.

Rental Pricing

It is FrioMan’s objective to identify the optimum pricing structure for each home that will maximize its rental income potential. Continuous monitoring of market conditions helps us determine optimal rate levels and identify opportunities to increase rates. Recommendations for rates are made for each property in our program after reviewing the rates of similar homes in comparable locations, both within and outside the FrioMan rental program.      

Guest Services

Your tenants are your/our guests and we strive to treat them as such. The success of our mutual business depends on a high level of customer satisfaction, which translates to repeat/referral business and maximum rental income. Our guests are on vacation and they expect an enjoyable and trouble-free experience beginning with their first contact with us. FrioMan is committed to extending excellent service in an environment of personal hospitality.

Housekeeping

FrioMan’s experienced housekeepers have consistently provided our guests with clean vacation homes. We realize how important it is to guests and owners that they find clean and neat accommodations upon arrival. Your home will be professionally cleaned to high standards after each guest’s use and at any other time at the owner’s request. The same crew cleans your home after every guest stay and develops pride in its appearance.

While it is important to maintain each property’s uniqueness, standards are necessary to meet guest expectations. FrioMan is always available to consult with owners on how to make their property attractive to potential guests and thereby generate significant rental income.

Maintenance

A well-maintained home is an important part of a positive vacation experience, which results in repeat or referral business. At FrioMan Vacation Lodging, we believe that guests on vacation in September are as deserving of a home in good condition as those who vacation in May. Vacationers choosing the Frio River area have a high expectation, which means constant maintenance and improvements as needed to keep up with this market. In addition to keeping owners informed about the condition and maintenance requirements of their property, FrioMan provides timely response 7 days a week to guest-reported maintenance problems. Information on maintenance work done and monies expended from the owner’s account is shown on the monthly accounting statement.

Protecting Our Owner’s Interest

While there is the unavoidable risk of damage or theft whenever a property is offered for rental to the public, it is the intent of FrioMan to minimize these risks by making recommendations on furnishing your home, and attracting high-quality guests (families & mature individuals only). A damage deposit is required, along with a signed responsible party agreement. After each guest’s visit, your home is personally inspected. The inspection is not a minutely detailed inventory, but does address recognizable damage or loss (beyond “normal wear and tear”) and has been a successful deterrent against unwarranted negligence or abuse. Costs for anything missing or damaged due to negligence or willful abuse is charged to the credit card on file, for the amount required to make any repairs or replacements.

Management Fees 

FrioMan is compensated according to a percentage of the gross rentals. Since we are paid only if your house is rented, we are highly motivated to maximize the rental potential of every property. The management fee percentage is determined according to the nightly rental rate, and proximity to Concan. The base management fee covers the cost of rental program management, marketing, accounting, reservation processing, and housekeeping. Security checks year round, and inspections after guest stays are also included in our services. Additional services such as home and lawn maintenance, and trash pickup/disposal, are available to the owner at a predetermined limit, and/or at a per cost basis.

Thank you for taking the time to review FrioMan’s property management services. We hope we may be of service to you in the near future. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for further information.
