Everyone Wants Early Check in!

Luke Carl discusses two common challenges in short-term rental management: guests who book the wrong dates and the growing demand for early check-ins. He walks through a real example of a guest who mistakenly reserved less expensive dates and later wanted to switch to higher-demand dates at the original rate, ultimately choosing to cancel and receive a courtesy refund despite being outside the cancellation policy. Luke also shares a new AI-powered workflow that proactively offers paid early check-ins when availability allows, creating an additional revenue opportunity while reducing repetitive guest requests. Throughout the episode, he emphasizes the importance of staying calm, following established systems, and keeping emotions out of recurring guest interactions that are simply part of the property management business.
