How The Property Managers Company is scaling its 80-home portfolio

When Adam Beaupre and Neil Litzen couldn’t find a property management company that met their expectations, they built one themselves. Now, just five years later, The Property Managers Company (PMC) manages 80 short-and long-term rentals in Bozeman, Montana, with plans to grow nearly tenfold in the coming years.

“We want to be the largest locally owned property management company in Bozeman,” says Paul Novak, Property Manager at PMC. “And because every member of our team is also a rental property owner, we approach every home like it’s our own.”
But to grow efficiently and boost per-unit revenue they needed more than just boots-on-the-ground experience. They needed the tools to scale.

Until recently, PMC didn’t use a property management system (PMS) at all. But with ambitious growth targets and a desire to increase revenue per unit, they realized it was time to invest in technology.

They knew exactly what they were looking for: robust dynamic pricing, strong analytics, and an accounting system that could support both their STR and LTR operations. After comparing options, Guesty stood out.

Fueled by data from the largest portfolio of listings in the industry, Guesty’s dynamic pricing engine was a key factor. Just as important was the onboarding process, which PMC found exceptionally detailed and supportive.

With Guesty in place, the impact was immediate.

• Time savings: Pricing adjustments that once took hours are now handled in minutes through Guesty PriceOptimizer.
• Revenue lift: PMC reported a boost in both reservations and income in Q1 of 2025 compared to Q1 of 2024.
• Stronger offering for owners: With multi-channel distribution and advanced analytics, PMC can now market itself as a more data-driven, growth-focused partner.
  “We use Guesty as a sales tool,” says Paul. “We can tell potential clients: If you join us, we’ll get your home on more platforms, optimize your pricing with real-time data, and help you earn more.”

Before Guesty, only one person on the PMC team handled guest communications. Now, the whole team can respond quickly using Guesty’s unified inbox, which improves responsiveness and frees up time.

The platform also supports PMC’s hybrid portfolio. Long-term rental operations benefit from the same centralized tools and visibility, while short-term rentals are optimized for bookings and performance.

With 80 properties today and a goal of 750 in five years, PMC is moving fast. And Guesty will be with them at every stage.

“We’re excited to continue growing our business with Guesty,” says Paul. “It’s easy to use, data-driven, and innovative. Everything we need to scale.”
