Action: OwnerRez, Starting with Setup
Module 6: OwnerRez - Setting up the Channel Manager
Setting up OwnerRez starts with creating your account, answering the setup interview and adding your first property. It is a short foundational step, but a few choices matter from day one: use your brand name rather than your personal name, set the time zone to match the property so messages go out on time, and keep seasons simple because dynamic pricing such as PriceLabs sets your real rates later.

Questions people ask
Does OwnerRez have a free trial?
Yes. OwnerRez offers a 14-day free trial. A card is needed at sign-up but is only charged after the trial unless you cancel.
Why does the time zone matter in OwnerRez?
Automated messages and door code timing follow the account's time zone, so it needs to match where the property is or messages go out at the wrong time.
Should I use my personal name or a business name in OwnerRez?
A brand or business name is better, because guests see it on rental agreements and emails, and it keeps your hosting business separate from you personally.
