Corporate Travel Demand Sparks Expansion of Real Estate and Residential Lodging Services

AvenueWest Global Franchise, the largest provider of managed corporate housing in the United States, announces the expansion of AvenueWest Arizona which will now locally service Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tucson.  By expanding into additional cities AvenueWest Arizona will be able to better serve the needs of Arizona’s bigger employers.

AvenueWest Arizona is owned and managed by Meghan and Mark Vost who have been providing unparalleled service and exclusive furnished corporate housing properties throughout Phoenix since 2013.  “Meghan and Mark are an exceptional team with a strong background in investment real estate and hospitality.  AvenueWest Global is excited to have such an experienced management group leading the expansion of AvenueWest into these new markets,” stated Angela Healy the CEO of AvenueWest Global.

In today’s world of high demand residential lodging solutions for business travelers, AvenueWest Managed Corporate Housing continues to offer its award-winning real estate solutions that travelers and investors have relied on for over 20 years.  Corporate Housing as a residential lodging solution is a multi-billion dollar industry that has been available to business travelers for decades.  Traditional corporations, as part of their business travel policies, do not allow their employees to stay in individual Airbnb rentals.  Business travelers need the service, quality and security offered through a professionally managed corporate housing property.

According to CHPA / Corporate Housing Providers Association, “This type of lodging is more than just a place to stay; it is a much-needed service provided for employees experiencing a training or transition. It in turn helps employers achieve their business goals by cultivating more engaged and focused employees. It is estimated that the annual collective U.S. domestic employee transfer volume for Fortune 500 companies is 244,595.”  As businesses expand and require specific talent, they rely on AvenueWest to meet the housing needs of their employees.  The average AvenueWest tenant stays over 100 days.  These furnished rentals are a true home away from home.

The AvenueWest Managed Corporate Housing real estate model allows private investors to connect their rental properties with business travelers.  AvenueWest Arizona is seeing an increasing trend of out of state investors purchasing their retirement properties earlier than needed and then renting them to business travelers.  Through investing in real estate today these savvy investors are taking advantage of the still low interest rates and will have the peace of mind knowing exactly what their lodging expenses will be in the future.

AvenueWest Arizona continues to be a thriving business that not only provides property management services to owners of furnished homes being offered for rent, but also provides high-quality short-term rental properties to those in need of temporary housing. Meghan says her ideal clients include traveling business executives, visiting medical professionals, government contractors and insurance companies in need of furnished homes for their displaced clients.

The backbone of AvenueWest Arizona though, says Vost, is the AvenueWest business model and corporate support team. “We are excited about the opportunity to better service our larger employers, and in doing so better serve our current property owners in Phoenix and Scottsdale. We’ve had exposure and high-quality inventory in these markets for a long time. This will allow us to leverage Scottsdale as the stand alone destination market it is. This enhancement, along with expanding our managed properties in the Tucson area, will help us meet the needs of the varied client base we serve.”

About AvenueWest Arizona:

AvenueWest-Phoenix launched in 2013 providing unparalleled service and exclusive furnished corporate housing properties available for rent in the Biltmore area, Chandler, Downtown Phoenix, Gilbert, Marana, Mesa, Midtown Phoenix, Oro Valley, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Tempe, Tucson, Camelback Corridor, and Arcadia. With the expansion to multiple cities the new real estate entity will be AvenueWest Arizona.  Visit http://Arizona.avenuewest.comfor more information.

Pet Friendly Corporate Housing

We recently heard that a large regional vacation property management company here in the Phoenix/Scottsdale market had gone “Pet Free”. Did we hear that right? No…they had to have said “Pet Friendly”, but to our surprise, it was true…”Pet Free”.

This flies in the face of a continually increasing trend for travelers looking for short term, fully furnished housing. Pet ownership, while off it’s peak, is significantly higher than in past years, and more and more people are traveling with their pets. Pets have become a key part of life for many of us and the idea of leaving a part of your family with strangers for weeks or months at a time is not an attractive one.

Here at AvenueWest Phoenix we pride ourselves on offering a selection of pet friendly corporate and short-term furnished rentals. Nearly 90% of our properties welcome pets, which range from single bedroom apartment style condos to 5 bedroom single-family houses.

Almost 90% of AvenueWest Phoenix’s properties allow pets.

To make sure you have a good experience traveling with your pet, be sure to be upfront about having a pet and what kind of animal it is…while there may be a pet fee or deposit, it is usually smaller than an “undisclosed” pet fee that is applied at the end of your stay. In the event that you acquire a pet during the course of your stay be sure to contact your property management company in advance to ensure your new pet will be welcome into the home you’re staying in. As previously stated some properties/companies won’t allow any pets at all.

When booking your stay be accurate in the size and breed of your pet. Some owners of properties don’t allow cats for instance or restrict the number of dogs they will allow in their properties. Many homeowner or condominium associations have very strict regulations regarding breed, size and number of pets. Violation of which can be costly and potentially unpleasant, and the tenant may face having to vacate the property or having to board their pets for the remainder of their stay.

To make sure you don’t face these issues, ask questions of the corporate housing representative so your needs, wants and expectations are made clear up front.

This is all fine and dandy for those folks with pets, but what if I don’t want to stay in a place after pets have been there? This is a common concern for a number of business travelers, so ask the corporate housing representative about their policies if this is an issue for you. For instance, at AvenueWest Phoenix we perform a multi faceted, step-by-step process that we refer to as “Pet Remediation” after each pet vacates one of our properties. The mission being that the next guest should have no idea that a pet was ever in the property!

AvenueWest Phoenix allows you the freedom of bringing everyone in your family, including your furry friends! Just ask for details.

About AvenueWest Phoenix; Owner Meghan Hartman states, “we strive to be the supplier of choice when it comes to corporate housing in the Phoenix/Scottsdale markets by routinely exceeding expectations.”

We pride ourselves on supplying fully furnished, pet friendly, unique properties, in diverse locations throughout the entire Valley of the Sun. In addition, we can perform quick custom setups. Anything from a custom full house setup in a particular location to adding an over-sized recliner or a particular bed size and all points in between. Our flexibility sets us apart from the historical “cookie cutter” approach to corporate housing. Call us today to experience the AvenueWest Phoenix difference – 602.753.2412.

AvenueWest Phoenix Celebrates Their Anniversary!

October 21, 2015, Phoenix AZ: Earlier this month AvenueWest Phoenix celebrated its second anniversary of the start of it’s unique approach to corporate housing in the Phoenix/Scottsdale market. Meghan Hartman, Owner of the company, stated:

“AvenueWest has taken the best of what traditional corporate housing companies offer and added a property management component. This allows us to offer unique properties to those in need of short term furnished housing, while at the same time putting otherwise idle assets (houses, condos, casitas, etc.) to work for individual owners and investors.”

Mark Vost and Meghan Hartman celebrating their 2 year anniversary in Phoenix, AZ.

AvenueWest Phoenix strives to be the supplier of choice when it comes to corporate housing in the Phoenix/Scottsdale markets. Hartman went on to explain “Over the course of the last two years, we have really focused the energies of our expanding organization on becoming the ‘Provider to the Providers’ of corporate housing.”

Mark Vost, a member of the AvenueWest Phoenix team, went on to explain:

“We have supplied properties to a number of the large companies in both the corporate housing and relocation (RELO) industries by focusing on pet friendly, unique properties, in diverse locations throughout the valley.”

AvenueWest Phoenix has experienced significant growth in the past two years. Hartman explains:

“If we don’t have exactly the right property for a potential client, we pride ourselves on performing quick custom setups…everything from a full 4 bedroom house in a particular location to adding an over-sized recliner or even special requests for a particular bed size…how we handle special requests sets us apart and this approach has clearly added to our growth.”

 

All in all, AvenueWest Phoenix attributes its early success to an attitude of “Routinely Exceeding Expectations.” Hartman closes with “why not test us out the next time you have a need for short term fully furnished housing in the Valley of the Sun!”

Long-Time Real Estate Professional Reinvents Herself as Corporate Housing Entrepreneur

For six years, Meghan Hartman’s career was in flux. The Global Financial Crisis ravaged the real estate industry, and Hartman, a former real estate agent, was looking to reinvent herself. Enter AvenueWest Managed Corporate Housing in 2013, and an opportunity to own a local office in Phoenix, AZ.

Ready to take charge of her career, Hartman jumped on this new business venture, with encouragement from her long-time confidant, Mark Vost, who today helps Hartman run the company’s day-to-day operations.

“As I unraveled the AvenueWest brand, I could see what a great fit it was for Meghan, and how her real estate skill-set would be an asset to her running a business like this,” says Vost.

Today, AvenueWest Corporate Housing in Phoenix is a thriving business that not only provides property management services to owners of furnished homes being offered for rent, but also provides high quality, short-term rental properties to those in need of temporary housing. Hartman says her ideal clients include traveling business executives, visiting medical professionals, and insurance companies in need of furnished homes for their displaced clients.

AvenueWest Phoenix Experiences Steady Growth

Hartman says AvenueWest Phoenix has experienced steady growth from the start, enabling her to manage seasonal swings.

“Phoenix’s rental season is busy in the winter and quiet in the summer, which can at times be overwhelming or underwhelming,” says Hartman. “We are committed to working hard year round to forge new relationships that strengthen our business so we can persevere through dramatic seasonal swings.”

Hartman says she created a medical professionals division to cater to the ongoing corporate housing needs of visiting medical professionals to Phoenix. “This has provided us with a steady stream of business no matter the season,” she says.

The backbone of AvenueWest Phoenix though, says Hartman, is the AvenueWest business model and corporate support team.

“We would not be able to do corporate housing without AvenueWest. The brand brings instant recognition and respect, not to mention a great deal of leads. We cannot give enough credit to AvenueWest’s global team and concept,” says Vost.
