About

About STR Select

STR Select is a guide for owners choosing a short term rental manager, service or tool. Every fact is sourced and dated.

What we publish

Market by market rankings of short term rental management companies, category rankings of the services and software owners hire, and data pages built from what companies actually publish, starting with management fees.

We started with the Poconos because owners there face dozens of managers and almost no published prices. Only 2 of the 16 managers we verified publish a rate.

How we work

  • Every company we find operating in a market is listed free, whether or not it ever talks to us.
  • Facts come from each company's own pages and public review profiles, with the source and the date we checked.
  • Reviews count only when the reviewer confirms a real email address and an editor approves them.
  • No company pays for a listing, a position or a lead.

The full scoring formula is on the methodology page, and the rules we hold ourselves to are in the editorial policy.

Who runs it

STR Select is published and edited by Aaron Whittaker, who researches the companies and writes every ranking.
