While our offices are temporarily closed, the Landmark team is available for all of your real estate and vacation rental needs and can be reached during normal work hours: Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Sam Lupas co-founded Landmark on principles of family and community. Today, we continue to value the people who make up our towns. We value their health and wellbeing, especially during this time, and we feel a greater need to do our part to serve. All of us at Landmark are reaching out to our friends, family, and anyone who may need a helping hand, or even just a kind word. We are committed to working together to support you and your safety while abiding by all local, state and federal regulations, and we ask you to join us in doing the same. Let this time be a way to find a renewed since of community and comradery. The beautiful stronghold that we have in the face of adversity is knowing we can rely on our neighbor.

“We do not have the capacity to care for our full-time residents should the Plateau fail to contain the virus which looks highly unlikely at the time of writing (March 31). We love our part-time residents and I know you love us, but we are basically closed for business - no golf courses, restaurants for take-out only, all events have been postponed. I respectfully ask that travel to the Plateau wait until we are open for business again which, with your help, will be sooner rather than later.” Sam Lupas, Co-Founder of Landmark Realty Group

Cashiers has something for the waterfall chaser, the day hiker and the shopping enthusiast. This small village comes to life in the warmer months, as visitors arrive to enjoy all that the mountains have to offer.

where to start: DECISIONS TO MAKE ABOUT RENTING YOUR PROPERTY collection.
mini edit
SETTING UP A RENTAL SCHEDULE: The most important thing to note about setting up your rental schedule: We ask that you schedule your time at the property as far out in advance as possible, and we recommend a year out, if possible. Once a rental goes live online, guests have the opportunity to book immediately, without speaking to our staff. We are happy to talk with you more about what your schedule looks like and your plans for staying at the property so that we can maximize your rental income, while still giving you the time there that you desire. LENGTHS OF STAY: It is up to the owner of the property to choose a minimum night stay requirement for their property. MAXIMIZING YOUR RENTAL INCOME: At the end of the day, you want the maximum amount of income that your property can bring in. This is our ultimate goal for you, too. That is why we set the rates for your property, and adjust them accordingly by the season. Our seasoned reservation staff can best increase your income when given the flexibility to set rates based on each reservation individually.

DOG FRIENDLY OR NOT DOG FRIENDLY? As a company, Landmark Realty Group is a pet friendly company. That being said, it is each owner’s preference as to whether or not their property is pet friendly (dogs only). Allowing dogs is recommended as it broadens your pool of potential guests and maximizes your income, but this is ultimately up to you as the owner. A non-refundable pet fee is added to each reservation, and is treated as rental income. A portion of the pet fee, dogs only, is used to pay the higher cleaning fee. DAMAGE VS. COST OF DOING BUSINESS: Landmark Vacation Rentals experiences very little intentional damage and have yet to experience anything that is beyond repair to its original condition. That being said, accidents happen. Landmark Vacation Rentals’ policy is to charge each guest a security damage waiver in lieu of a cash security deposit. Messes like spilled wine on the carpet are incidents that Landmark will clean at no extra cost to the owner. However, normal wear and tear that comes with any property, rental or private, come at the owners’ expense. We are happy to meet with you to discuss the specifics of this policy.

The furniture throughout the home should coincide with how many people the property can sleep. 1 00 | th e ow ner ’s h a n d book ¡ w w w.lan d m ar k vacat io ns. co m
AS A GENERAL RULE: Each bedroom should sleep at least two people. This can be set up in a few different ways. Ideally, the master bedroom should have a king size bed, and the guest bedrooms should have a queen or two twins. A comfortable sofa sleeper can maximize the amount of people a property can sleep as well.

DINING AND LIVING ROOM: The dining room table should be able to accommodate the number of people the property can sleep. The living room should also provide seating that would accommodate the number of people the property can sleep, along with tables and lamps.
collection.

BEDROOM FURNISHINGS: The bedroom furnishings should be as follows: • Nightstand(s) and dresser(s) with storage • 1 reading lamp per nightstand • 20+ wooden or plastic hangers in closets BEDDING: Comforters, duvets, etc., are the preference of the owner and should be of good quality and stain-free. A checklist of what you need for your bedding are as follows: • King, queen, and full beds need four standard size pillows each • Twin beds need two standard size pillows • Each bed should have a mattress and box spring encasement to guard against stains, moisture or bugs

LINEN PROGRAM Landmark’s Linen program has many benefits. It is free to the owner of the property, and it allows the cleaning process to go much faster, as the housekeepers don’t have to stay at the house longer to wait on laundry. It also saves from unnecessary wear-and-tear on the owner’s washers and dryers. The linen program provides for your home: • Bedding: fitted sheet, flat sheet, pillowcases, and one blanket • Kitchen: hand towels, dish cloths, potholders • Bathrooms: bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, bathmat **All linens provided by the linen program are owned by Landmark Vacation Rentals Housekeepers arrive to clean the house with a fresh linen kit. The used linens are taken from the homes and laundered offsite, at a professional facility. The flat sheets and pillowcases are ironed to look nice for guests. WINDOW COVERINGS: • All windows, french doors and sliding glass doors are recommended to be outfitted with window coverings (blinds / curtains) in good working order • Blackout lining in bedrooms with shades or curtains is recommended
collection.
mini edit
ELECTRONICS: • All electronics should be current. Feel free to ask about this if you are unsure about your electronics • The living room and master bedroom should have complete TV service (cable, satellite, or live tv streaming services) • Smart TVs are recommended • All other bedrooms should have a TV and Blu-Ray DVD player • Wall mounted televisions should have an electric and cable outlet behind it to conceal as many cords as possible • TV provider is owner preference, but it is recommended to have an extensive package that covers national and sports programming INTERNET AND PHONE: • Wireless internet is required at each property. Bundling phone and cable packages are often a great way to save money We recommend finding packages that offer unlimited domestic and/or long distance service. This is optional, but beneficial for everyone.
