Meet Paul Waldschmidt, Co-Founder and CEO of OwnerRez — one of the industry‚Äôs most beloved property management platforms.
Paul is a software developer through and through. He has always loved leveraging technology to solve problems. So, when he and his business partner Chris began experiencing problems with their property manager on their recently purchased vacation rental in the Blue Ridge mountains, the technical duo saw an opportunity.
Tune in to hear the story of how Paul and Chris bootstrapped the creation of one of the most respected, loved, and powerful PMSes for STR owners and property managers.
In this episode, Paul and I discuss:
- The history of PMSes in the vacation rental space
- Why Airbnb invests tens of millions of dollars each year on UX/UI design
- Why so many direct booking websites suck
- The opportunities that exist to build new software and tooling in the industry
- And much more.
Finally, Paul and his team have generously offered a 30% discount for new customers for their first 3 months. Just mention Behind the Stays after booking a call or requesting more information from their team.
