Why Choose Joe Lamb Jr. & Associates?

Operating on the OBX since 1968, with over 500 vacation rental properties, we have the experience and local knowledge to maintain your property efficiently while helping maximize its income potential.

01

Personalized Management Plans

We tailor our level of management to your needs. We work with you to find the best approach to maintaining and servicing your property. The appearance and comfort of your home is of paramount importance to us. We offer full-service property maintenance and housekeeping in conjunction with private contractors that provide a wide array of services, from grill cleaning to roof repair. At JLJ, we run a preventive maintenance program, offer quick response times, and conduct post-tenancy dual-purpose inspections. We keep our owners updated through access to work orders, guest reviews, emails, and newsletter communication.

02

Optimizing Property Potential

We welcome the opportunity to advise you when assessing your property. Our management staff can provide helpful hints to increase income while being mindful of expenses. Creating the right look for your property can sometimes be challenging. By assessing guest reviews and expectations, we help you understand the features needed to enhance interest. Our goal is to help you include the most popular amenities that appeal to guests and support a restful, enjoyable vacation. A well-maintained home can mean the difference between having a guest visit once and having a guest continue to come back for years to come.

03

Effective Marketing Strategies

We understand our local tourism trends and know how to keep your property visible during peak times and ahead of the competition during shoulder seasons. We use multiple channels to create ample exposure for your property. In addition to exposure through travel site affiliates, your property also receives customized marketing through our responsive website and growing social media audience. We run local radio ads and advertise in regional and national travel publications, both in print and online. We also maintain an extensive email database of past and potential guests to offer promotional specials.

04

Technology and Owner Access

Our website is interactive, user-friendly, and positioned at the top of all major search engines. Each property has its own individual web page, consisting of interior and exterior photos, floor plans, an in-depth property description, amenities, rental rates, and guest reviews. Our advanced reservation system is integrated to ensure accurate availability with calendars and rates updated in real time. Guests can make online bookings and inquiries 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Owners can also access private portals to monitor reservations, documents, and accounting information.

05

Guest Communication

Our communication with your guests is professional and high quality. We regularly communicate with guests from the time they book your property until after they depart. Arrival information is provided via email and access to a private Guest Portal that includes important details related to your property and links to procedures and policies. We send your guests an arrival text to welcome them to your property and provide every guest with a JLJ branded gift.

Our phones are answered after hours by a professional service with a live operator who can walk guests through maintenance or housekeeping concerns based on JLJ policy. We also contact guests two days after checkout to encourage them to provide feedback and remind them to book your home again for next season.

06

Community and Industry Involvement

JLJ stays on top of industry trends with an active membership in NCVRMA, the North Carolina Vacation Rental Managers Association. We are also very involved in our local Chamber of Commerce and the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau, and we support our community. Read more about our community involvement.
