How do you screen potential guests?

Every stay at Home Team Luxury Rentals earns its green light. We start by confirming who’s booking with secure identity verification through Truvi (previously Superhog), then we dig into platform history and reviews to understand behavior patterns over time. Only after a candidate aligns with our responsible renting criteria—respect for the home, alignment with house rules, community fit, and a record of responsible conduct—do we move a request from “pending” to “approved.”

This deliberate approach functions as a risk-control system: it reduces exposure to damage, deters misuse, and sustains a high-quality rental environment that benefits both owners and guests. We reinforce approvals with clear pre-stay messaging, expectation setting, and documented acknowledgments of key policies, which further lowers incident rates and supports smooth operations during the stay.

By prioritizing consistency and reliability from the first click to check-out, we protect owner investments and strengthen performance indicators that matter—occupancy stability, review quality, and reduced unplanned expenses. Over time, that discipline preserves property condition, supports premium positioning, and contributes to the long-term value profile that sophisticated short-term rental investments demand.
