Eclipsing other vacation rental property management entrants, Brivo’s solution allows management companies to manage hundreds of properties from one dashboard with remote automation management.

  • Keyless entry: Eliminates the hassle of traditional keys and the inevitable rekeying cost, with the added security of locking and monitoring vacant properties
  • Thermostat control: Manage energy costs and eliminate unnecessary heating and cooling in vacant properties
  • Sensors: Prevent risk by detecting water or freeze issues right away to save thousands of dollars in potential damage
  • Garage door control: Increase guest satisfaction and security by controlling garage doors remotely by phone or computer

“After a pandemic year, customers are not only tired of being home, but also are cognizant of germs everywhere. Vacation rentals are seeing non-stop busy seasons. While this is fantastic for a property management company’s bottom line, it comes with new management challenges,” said Steve Van Till, founder and CEO of Brivo. “Brivo helps save time and money with our vacation rental home automation platform and this award from PropTech Breakthrough validates the excellence of our technology.”

The mission of the annual PropTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the top technology companies, solutions and products in the real estate technology industry today. This year’s program attracted more than 1,350 nominations from over 12 different countries throughout the world.

“Vacation property owners and managers are constantly having to deal with what makes their property move to the top of the list on booking and review sites. How can they cut through the noise of other options? If you don’t have the modern amenities guests have come to expect like keyless locks, then you may be missing out on revenue, or worse, being overlooked altogether. Vacation rental properties are meant to enhance a vacation,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of PropTech Breakthrough Awards. “Brivo’s commitment to continuous innovation of technology that harnesses the power of data, business intelligence and industry expertise into one platform, serves not just to increase revenue for owners but also to create a better experience for guests. Congratulations on being our choice for the ‘Vacation Rental Platform of the Year’ award for 2021.”
