Listen " Always Assume User Error "
Episode Synopsis
On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke digs into why you should always assume user error first when guests report that something is “broken,” using real-world examples like HVAC issues and TV/Roku remotes to show how basic property knowledge and calm troubleshooting can save you time, money, and stress. He also talks about why a quick phone call can turn a frustrated guest into a satisfied one, and how presenting yourself as a professional operation (even with just one property) helps you handle problems more smoothly.
