You might not! VRBO is a very well built system, and you may find that their help documents are all you need to get going. However, it is also potentially complex in its very flexibility, how it integrates with other platforms, and working out how the rules interact can be tricky. We have experience of setting it up for a wide range of properties and can make the whole process much easier.

Every VRBO system is different once installed. We are very happy to work with you as much or as little as you would like, so we can fully administer the system for you, or set it up and let you run it. Generally we find that the best balance is where we do the setup and technical bits and you run the administrative side.

No. If it is properly set up then a lot of the logic is automated, ResDiary takes the bookings for you, and sends out confirmation emails etc. If you choose to integrate with other systems, then you can extend its functionality. There is a good admin system in ResDiary to manage the information, and a mobile app to manage it all on the move.

Potentially - they have historically had an ability to connect to their systems over an API, however increasingly they want you to see them as providing the complete solution, so third-party connections are not actively encouraged.

Yes. It is a good system that will allow you to manage the rental of your property, however it has limitations, especially if you need a more bespoke solution, and for some people a solution written to meet their specific needs can make sense. Equally we can put in more generic booking systems which allow you equal control but where you don't pay the same level of commission to the host website.
