3 Benefits + 3 Tips for Hiring from the Properly Marketplace
Discover the three major benefits of hiring service providers through the Properly marketplace and three essential tips for selecting the best candidates.
The 3 Major Benefits
1. Hospitality Industry Experience
Every service provider on the marketplace has prior experience preparing homes for guests. This expertise means they understand the distinctions between hospitality and residential cleaning — checking for items left behind by previous guests and reporting damages or excessive mess to clients.
2. Community-Vetted Providers
Service providers can only join the marketplace after being invited by a local vacation rental community member and completing at least one job. This vetting ensures every provider has earned trust within your area.
3. Superior Efficiency Over Facebook Groups
Using a dedicated marketplace eliminates the tedious multi-step process of Facebook group recommendations. Instead of countless back-and-forth messages across multiple platforms, users simply browse profiles and send jobs directly to providers’ phones. Efficient. Elegant. Easy.
The 3 Major Tips
1. Review Performance Badges
Providers earn badges based on metrics like accuracy, response rates, job completion, and cancellation rates. These public badges appear on profiles, helping you identify reliable service providers.
2. Read Service Provider Profiles
Providers create detailed bios including rates, availability, experience, and background information, allowing you to assess compatibility with your needs.
3. Check Response Times
Fast response times indicate active app engagement and availability. Selecting providers with quick response times proves especially valuable when urgent work is needed.
Bonus Tip: Note how many properties a provider has serviced — higher numbers suggest greater experience.
