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.
Marguerite Vasey
Editor-in-chief
Ran a pair of South Shore listings for eleven years — one on a canal, one two blocks from a train station — before starting this desk in Freeport. She grades companies the way a dockmaster grades cleats: on what holds when the weather turns.
Nate Ferrante
Management & fees
Has hired, fired and re-hired managers across three New York markets and kept every owner statement. He writes the fee tables here and reads any contract's exit clause before its price list.
Yelena Kovacs
Rules & compliance
Spent years untangling municipal codes for upstate owners and refuses to let this site print a legal claim without naming where it came from. If a page says 'not published', she is why.
