Marguerite Vasey
Editor-in-chief at Empire Host Dispatch.
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.
What Marguerite covers
Marguerite covers the rankings as a whole — which companies make the shortlist, where they land, and whether a claim is solid enough to publish. Every piece of that work is held to how we test and our editorial policy, which means no company can pay for a place, a score, or a kinder sentence.
How Marguerite works
The rule Marguerite works to is simple: a number goes on the page only if it can be traced back to something the company itself published. Where a company does not publish a fee or a price, the review says so plainly rather than printing a guess dressed up as research. Our weighting leans hardest on time saved (35%), transparency (25%), and the same rubric is applied to every company in the field — the one we rank first included.
Where you will see Marguerite’s work
Across our two rankings — management companies and host software — and in the individual reviews, which now run to 49 management companies and 36 software tools, each on its own page with the provider’s published facts laid out in full.
Corrections
If Marguerite gets something wrong, we would rather fix it than defend it. Tell us and we correct it promptly and note the change.
