Why the Quiet Season Is the Smartest Time to Set Up Get Absolutely
For most rental and vacation property owners, January is the slowest time of year.
Bookings are down. Guest turnover is low. The phones are quieter.
And while it’s tempting to simply wait for spring, the most successful operators use this downtime very differently.
They use it to prepare, systemize, and remove friction — so that when bookings surge again, their operations run smoothly instead of reactively.
This is exactly where GetAbsolutely fits in.
Quiet Periods Are an Opportunity — Not a Problem
Busy seasons expose weak systems.
When properties are fully booked, every small issue becomes urgent:
- A guest reports a problem late at night
- Contractors are unavailable or overpriced
- Messages are scattered across WhatsApp, email, and SMS
- Maintenance history is unclear
- Small issues turn into negative reviews
The quiet season gives you breathing room to fix the system before the pressure returns.
If you’ve ever wished software companies listened to you, this is your moment.
What Get Absolutely Does (And Why It Matters Now)
Get Absolutely is a centralized platform for managing property issues and maintenance — from the moment a guest reports a problem through to resolution, verification, and record-keeping.
It helps you:
- Capture guest-reported issues clearly
- Coordinate service professionals
- Compare and approve quotes
- Track jobs from start to finish
- Build a reminder-friendly maintenance history
- Keep communication organized
During busy months, this saves time and stress.
During quiet months, it lets you set everything up properly.
How to Use the Quiet Season to Get Set Up
- Build your issue-handling workflows calmly
- Centralize all scattered property information
- Review last year’s recurring problems
- Lock in reliable contractors early
- Train your team without pressure
Hit Spring Running — Instead of Catching Up
The biggest mistake property owners make is waiting until March or April to get organized.
By then, bookings are already high and systems are rushed.
Using the quiet season to set up GetAbsolutely means:
- Faster issue resolution
- Better guest experiences
- Fewer emergency calls
- Less stress
- Better reviews
Final Thought
Busy seasons reward preparation.
GetAbsolutely isn’t just a tool for handling problems — it’s a platform for building calm, controlled operations.
