Testimonials

David K
Owner in Southampton

All I can say is that StayMarquis has been a game changer for me. They have the most amazing technology platform that will get your house rented! The team at StayMarquis is the most professional team with the best possible service quality ever. I don’t even know where to begin but the bottom line is that my house has never been rented as much in any season prior to using them. I only wish I had used them earlier.

The other benefit for me was using them for their concierge service. As I live out of state, it is sometimes difficult to attend to the many things the house needs, but with StayMarquis and the service they provide, I hardly get bothered and everything is taken care of first by the team. They only involve me when I am needed (which is not that often and it’s usually just to approve a booking which I am always happy to be “bothered” by).

The last thing I will say is that their market penetration in the Hamptons gives them incredible market insight and when I have any questions regarding pricing, they are always spot on with their analysis. This also ensure that whatever your house rents for will be the most optimal given the market at that time. We even turned down some applicants given their recommendation as they are always looking out for the best interests of you and your beautiful home.

Owner in East Hampton

Where would I be without StayMarquis? After the purchase of my rental property in East Hampton was delayed until August, I was worried I had missed the entire rental season and wouldn't be able to get up and running in time. StayMarquis acted incredibly quickly and got my house photographed and marketed within a few days and somehow delivered me over $40k in 2 months. They're vetting process made me feel secure with every renter and their customer service delivered exclusively 5 star reviews from the guest. I never would have been able to do this on my own and I am so thankful I had them as a partner.

Alice L.
Owner in Southampton

I had the opportunity to use the services of StayMarquis in our Southampton home. I was immediately drawn to their site by the quality of homes they had in their inventory. The group of friends that rented our home were all professionals and were in town for a conference. I was thrilled when we returned and the home was left in immaculate condition. It gave us the confidence to use their platform again, which we did and we used their premier service that handles everything. A homeowners dream!

Peter D.
Owner in Southampton

Thank you all so much for the incredible service you rendered for the tenants and myself this summer. We just came back and the house is immaculate. You guys are really on the ball. Not only do you make renting the house easy, your availability and discernment of clientele provide a new level of comfort to the homeowner.

Walter P.
Owner in Southampton

I love the Hamptons as much as the nine guests who stayed at my home last summer. That’s why working with StayMarquis is so great, because I was able to use the house between rental periods. And if anyone tells you that renting short term is risky because the guests aren’t fully vetted, don’t believe it. All nine guests Marquis signed up returned my house in mint condition.

Kirstin and Tom C.
Owner in East Hampton

The decision to share our home with rental guests was one that required total confidence that they would love and respect the neighborhood and house as we do. As we navigated the whole listing and booking process on our own (with limited help from local realtors), we found the changing dynamics of how people access rental properties via the various internet rental sites created many challenges for us to successfully manage the "right" bookings at the best price.
Thank goodness we found Marquis! From our initial introductory conversation all the way through to the photography and marketing efforts, the booking process and post checkout management of security deposit funds, we have found the Marquis team to be very professional and great partners. They truly have our best interests and objectives in mind every step of the way, and are always there to provide insight and advice to ensure a positive experience for our guests while generating a significantly greater level of rental income than what we had experienced in the past. We highly recommend Marquis to any owner of an upscale rental property in the Hamptons!

Roseanne H.
Owner in East Hampton

It was as though StayMarquis had read my mind. How to rent my home in the current changing and competitive vacation rental market in the Hamptons? ...and do it in the most efficient and safe manner possible. The rules have changed in the last couple of years in terms of how to rent your house out, and I was at a loss as to how to continue doing so with the success I had previously enjoyed.
StayMarquis provided an incredibly creative and nimble platform to present my house and a very effective system to take care of all the details for me once it was rented. Their unique thinking in creating a new model in the rental industry was very impressive. I can't recommend them more highly if you are looking for a real estate expert to not only professionally and successfully rent your house for you, but to handle all the details beginning with booking to check-out and everything in between done seamlessly and with great care.

Delivering the best service in the industry is a collaborative effort

As part of the Marquis family, we make renting your home as simple and streamlined as possible, but we do need just a couple of things from you.

  • Always communicate your property’s availability

    If your property becomes unavailable for any reason, let us know as soon as you can. This way we can update your calendar so renters know it's booked.

  • Honor all bookings that have been accepted

    Cancelling bookings that have already been accepted is a bad experience for renters. We try to avoid this as much as possible.

  • Be responsive

    Respond in a timely fashion to our questions so that we can move quickly with prospective renters.

  • Keep a clean, safe and accurately marketed property

    Let us know of any changes that should be reflected in your property’s listing and maintain your home such that it matches what is advertised to travelers.

  • Have a local contact to handle issues that need in-person attention

    It is a huge help if you have someone on the ground who we can contact in case of emergency or other urgent matters.

  • Remove any existing property listings

    It's best for us to be able to start fresh and create new listings for your property. This way there are no duplicate listings that result in double bookings or other confusion.

Frequently Asked Questions

With vacation rental sites like AirBNB and HomeAway, why should I work with Marquis as opposed to handling my property rental needs
on my own?

The simple answer is “Execution.” Over the past few years, staying in a home instead of a hotel has become the preferred way to travel. As such, the number of listings have skyrocketed, making it more difficult for homes to get enough exposure on these platforms to ultimately lead to bookings. Not only is competition at an all-time high, but sites like Airbnb and Homeaway are constantly changing how they determine a property’s “listing score”, which dictates where in search results your property appears. Navigating these platforms requires a more hands-on approach than in the past as a homeowner’s response time to inquiries, number of reviews, book now functionality, overall listing quality, among others, all factor in to how much your property will be seen by travelers. Managing all of these factors, across multiple platforms, is a full-time job. Marquis takes all of this off your plate, guaranteeing your property receives maximum exposure so you can enjoy your free time.

Can I use a broker to simultaneously market my property?

Not only do we allow homeowners to simultaneously work with brokers, but we encourage it. Ultimately our goal is to get your property booked for the right price and by the right people. However, we do ask for exclusivity on the third-party platforms we use to market you property. This helps avoid double-bookings, price misalignments, and other sources of confusion.

Are there any upfront costs that I should be aware of?

There are absolutely no upfront costs that homeowners are subject to upon joining the StayMarquis Network. All photography, videography and listing costs are covered by Marquis. Our business model is performance-based, meaning we only generate revenue when we facilitate bookings for you.

How do you screen potential guests?

We know how important it is to appropriately vet potential travelers. That is why we use our “Know the Traveler” checklist for every booking we consider. Using this checklist as a guide, we collect pertinent information from individuals and groups who are interested in booking your home. We relay all of this information to you for review prior to accepting the booking. This information includes: the number of people in a group, the age rage range of the group, the purpose of the rental, where the group is coming from, if they are bringing pets and additional context surrounding the group dynamic that can be gauged through phone conversations or email. We will also run a Google search and social media search to check for any red flags.

Do I have discretion over who I rent my home to?

Of course. You have the ability to turn away any booking request that comes in for any reason at all. However, cancelling booking requests will hurt your “listing score,” and make it more difficult to market your property in the future. As part of the onboarding process, you will outline your “booking parameters.” Please keep in mind that if a booking request meets those parameters and your property’s calendar is marked as available, we will expect the booking to be accepted.
