A message from our founder & CEO
Over the last few years, online travel agencies (OTAs for short) have erupted in popularity and are trying extremely hard to take over the market. With their large inventory and nearly limitless availability, these sites can be great tools to jump start your search for the perfect accommodation on your next trip however, they are lacking what real Property Management companies offer such as, a local team that knows the area, boots on the ground customer service and transparency.

Third Party Booking Sites: What they don’t want you to know
All that convenience comes at a cost 12 – 20% to be exact. Since these third party sites are just booking engines they do not own any of the properties they advertise. They make their money by listing properties and charge the property owners a listing fee. That means that in order to break even, we have to raise our nightly cost, which ends up costing you, the consumer, hard-earned money. When you book directly with a Property Management company like Music City Loft you not only save money but you are booking with a licensed Realtor that has both yours and the home owners best interest at heart.
