About
OwnerRez is a comprehensive vacation rental software platform built for property managers and homeowners who need a powerful, scalable system to manage their short-term rental (STR) business. Rather than relying on third-party aggregators, OwnerRez maintains direct API partnerships with major booking channels such as Airbnb and Vrbo, eliminating per-booking fees and giving operators full control over their listings and rates. The platform covers the full operational lifecycle of a vacation rental business. Its channel management syncs calendars, rates, and availability in real time. The integrated property management (PM) module handles owner commission calculations and generates monthly financial statements. Guests are managed through a built-in CRM that stores records, automates follow-ups, and supports long-term relationship building. OwnerRez also includes a website builder to help operators establish their own brand and drive direct bookings, reducing dependency on OTA platforms. Messaging tools unify communications across email, SMS, Airbnb, and Vrbo into a single inbox. The accounting module supports multiple payment methods and integrates with external tools, while reporting features provide detailed visibility into business performance. Additional highlights include renter agreement management, automation workflows, and Rezzy AI for intelligent assistance. OwnerRez supports a large and growing library of third-party integrations, making it adaptable to existing tech stacks. Pricing is per-property with no setup fees, booking fees, or long-term contracts, making it accessible for operators at any scale.
