BACKGROUND
Specialty Lodging is the premier, luxury vacation home, rental management company. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.  Specialty Lodging provides a comprehensive and fully integrated management services program to individual owners of vacation homes and investors. Specialty Lodging's Property Management Program has taken traditional property management to the next level. In addition to providing traditional services of sound property maintenance, comprehensive accounting,  clients benefit from Specialty Lodging's Comprehensive Marketing Program. Our comprehensive Marketing Program includes the more diverse and proven techniques of hospitality marketing, specifically establishing a network of travel agents, Realtors, corporate contacts, Multiple Listing Service (MLS),  local advertising,, utilizing a state-of-the-art computerized reservation system and accepting credit cards for rental payments.

We pride ourselves on providing a superior quality furnished accommodation that suits the lifestyle housing needs of our clientele. Specialty Lodging caters to two highly under serviced market niches --- (1) the vacation property owner that owns a second home and requires property maintenance and vacation rental management services; and, (2) that segment of the travel market which is increasingly searching for condominium, townhome and patio home accommodation to suit their lifestyle.

Specialty Lodging also offers consulting and advisory services to developers and real estate investors pertaining to the purchase and/or development of vacation or second home properties. The Company's professional marketing staff work with realtors and on-site sale staff to assist developers and individual owners in the marketing of vacation or "second home" properties. The Company's management program is a value enhancing selling tool that can accelerate the sales closing process.
