  • 🎨 Interesting fact about you: I love smart home tech and AI. When you arrive at one of my properties, you’re greeted by an AI avatar who welcomes you, goes over a few house rules and then asks you if you’d like some popcorn. Upon answering yes, the microwave turns on and you are moments away from fresh popcorn. My smart STRs also alert guests when it’s time to take out the garbage and whats hot on Taco Tuesday in the local scene. Guestgs press a button to initiate check-in and check-out routines. My housekeepers get greetings too. Ziggy is my AI Super Host and I have a lot of fun with my guests.

Hi everyone! 🖐 Mari here, from your friendly team at VRPlatform. We have been a Hospitable partner for a couple years now, and we are excited to be part of this community! Whether you are waist-deep in owner statements or you are just curious about dipping your toe into managing properties that you don’t own, we’re here to put your accounting worries to rest. 

 

A little about me: My husband and I live in Oklahoma City with our dog and our cat 🐈, we just ran a half marathon in Kauai (and then promptly headed to the breweries), and I have been training in aerial dance for over 7 years. Before joining the vacation rental industry, I worked for companies in the health foods and oil and gas industries, and this one is my favorite by far!
