Case Study: Ur Home In Philly (Urhip) achieves higher occupancy and reduced vacancies without scaling marketing with Hostfully

How a full-service vacation rental management company increased occupancy rates without scaling marketing efforts

Ur Home In Philly (Urhip), a Philadelphia-based short-term and vacation rental management company led by Steve Patterson, was struggling to scale with manual processes and a hotel-focused PMS that didn’t integrate with Airbnb, causing manual imports and occasional double bookings. To modernize operations and expand reach, Ur Home In Philly adopted Hostfully and its property management platform (PMP).

Hostfully, using its PMP together with the Channel Manager Rentals United integration, expanded Ur Home In Philly’s distribution to Airbnb, Vrbo/HomeAway, Expedia, TripAdvisor, RentVillas and a direct booking site, automating multi-channel listings. As a result, Hostfully helped Ur Home In Philly increase reservations and occupancy, lower vacancy rates, fill mid-week gaps more easily, and reduce reliance on a single booking channel — all without scaling marketing efforts.
