You Can't See Your Phoenix Short Term Rental Property. We Can.

Live outside the Valley? We're your eyes, ears, and hands on the property, catching what cleaners miss and guests may complain about, before it costs you a booking or bad rating.

Peace of Mind for Owners Who Aren't Local and Property Managers with Multiple Locations

Most cleaning companies focus on high-use items (towels, sheets, dishes) because that's what gets noticed fastest. What they don't do is a detailed inspection. So even with a contracted cleaning service, you may be quietly accruing deferred maintenance that no one's catching until a guest does.

✈️

Built for Remote Owners

Out-of-state, out-of-country, or just too busy to drive across town? We're the local presence you don't have, checking on your property so you don't have to fly in to find out something's wrong.

📋

Condition Assessment

Focused attention catches what standard services miss: appliance maintenance, safety compliance, preventative fixes that protect your property.

Customer Experience Audit

Your listing says "sleeps 6," but are there 6 bowls? 6 towels? We check if your property delivers on what you advertise, so you're not finding out from a review.

📡

Technology Check

WiFi speed tested in every room. Smart TVs and devices verified. Software updated. Nothing kills reviews like broken tech you can't troubleshoot from another state.

📸

Full Documentation

Timestamped photos. Categorized report. Clear remediation quotes. You see exactly what we found and what needs fixing. No need to see it in person yourself.

💰

ROI Protection

Listings rated 4.9 stars or higher earn up to 18% more revenue than lower-rated comps.* One inspection catches the issues causing a rating slip, before it costs you the flight.

Managing a Portfolio?

Property managers use us for independent, third-party validation across their Phoenix properties: objective proof of quality for the owners you report to, without grading your own team's work.

We're Not Another STR Tool

Turno & Breezeway

Automate your cleaner's schedule. They don't check whether the cleaner actually did the job.

Superhog, Autohost & Safely

Screen your guests for risk. They don't tell you anything about your property's condition.

Minut & NoiseAware

Listen for noise complaints after they happen. They don't catch a clogged dryer vent or a stale listing photo.

STR Inspections

An independent, unaffiliated quality audit, the same role mystery shoppers have played for hotels for decades, now for short-term rentals.
