The OwnerRez Story
We're really good software engineers, but we're also vacation rental homeowners and property managers. For more than a decade, we devoted ourselves to providing really good vacation rental experiences for guests. Now, we devote our time to providing really good software for vacation rental owners and PMs.
About those Chris & Paul guys...
For years, you've seen our names all over blog posts, forum topics and support tickets, but here's what we actually look like! That's Paul on the left and Chris on the right.
We've been building software together for two decades in one form or another. We've worked for tiny non-profits, massive media corporations, soulless government agencies and everything in between.
We've designed giant distributed web systems, built translation tools for Afghan recovery services, worked on desktop and mobile, and automated financial reports for election agencies.
We failed our way through countless startups and bounced around from Virginia and Florida to Texas, California and Arizona.
The OwnerRez Timeline
The Cabin on the River
Paul and his wife Katy buy a cabin on the river, spend too much renovating it, and catch the STR bug.
A New Beginning
Paul and Chris officially start over as "OwnerRez, Inc", a new corporation, with a new vision and plan.
The Pricing Update from Usage to Flat & Logo Change
After years of usage-based pricing, we decide to switch to a flat fee per property - a decision that would lead to years of solid growth. The change is largely well-received because users understand the funding needs behind it. During this time, we also change our logo from the Palm Tree to our current "logotype" OwnerRez logo. We still sneak the Palm Tree icon into projects occasionally for sentimental purposes.
Inaugural OwnerRez Happy Hour
We hosted our very first OwnerRez Happy Hour at a local brewhouse in Scottsdale, AZ. Meeting customers in person for the first time and hearing their stories was truly special, and since then, we have hosted more Happy Hour events throughout the years.
Together At Last
After years of working remotely, we finally had our first whole-company retreat in Punta Cana. 40 team members laughed, hugged, cried, and talked for a week in the Carribean sun.
See what happened! 📷Cancun Retreat
For the second year in a row, the entire OwnerRez team came together for a week of collaboration, connection, and forward-thinking discussions about the company’s future.
