Who does the testing.
Reviews written by hosts and owners who test managers and tools against real listings.
Every review follows how we test and our editorial policy.
Marisol Vega
Editor-in-chief
Ran a two-bedroom casita on Tucson's east side through eight winter seasons, including the gem-show fortnight every year. She grades management companies on what they commit to in writing before the first booking, not on how the call goes.
Dean Ashworth
Fees and contracts
Reads exit clauses before price lists. Has moved two Pima County properties between managers and writes the fee comparisons on this desk.
Priya Salgado
Operations and maintenance
Spent years scheduling trades across the Tucson metro. Covers cooling, monsoon damage and the summer call-out — the three things that decide an Arizona hosting year.
