How to evaluate PMS vendors

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to choose a property management system (PMS), this episode is for you. Whether you're a one-property host or looking to scale, your PMS is the backbone of your business—and picking the right one can be the difference between growth and chaos.

Sarah and Annette break down exactly what a PMS does, who needs one, and how to choose a system that fits both where you are now and where you're headed. They also share common pitfalls (like PMS hopping) and a checklist of must-have features to look for.

Tune in to learn:

• What a PMS actually is (and why it’s not just for big hosts)
• Core and advanced features to prioritize
• How to evaluate customer support, integrations, and pricing
• Tips to avoid decision paralysis and confidently move forward

Plus: real talk about onboarding, hacks when features fall short, and why no PMS is perfect—but progress is better than perfection.
