Behind every successful business lies a story of passion, dedication, and a keen understanding of the industry it serves. For My Getaways, that story begins with its founder, Steve Taggert in 2015. A veteran of the hospitality and property management world, Steve’s vision, leadership, and hands-on approach have shaped My Getaways into an award-winning, owner-focused short-term rental management company.
A Foundation Built on Experience and Insight
Before founding My Getaways, Steve Taggert immersed himself in various facets of hospitality and property management – experience that would one day form the backbone of his own company. From managing multiple properties to understanding the delicate balance between guest satisfaction and owner profits, Steve spent years learning what works and what doesn’t. This firsthand knowledge has been crucial in crafting the My Getaways ethos: offering top-tier service that genuinely elevates both owner returns and guest experiences.
A Clear Mission: Owner Returns & Guest Happiness
When Steve established My Getaways, he set out to solve the pain points he’d seen owners face time and time again – limited flexibility, suboptimal pricing, poor guest reviews, and lack of transparency. Under his leadership, My Getaways adopted a holistic approach: blending cutting-edge technology with personalized support, and pairing strategic marketing with a relentless commitment to quality control. The result is a well-rounded service that yields higher earnings for owners while ensuring guests feel valued from the moment they book.
Driving Innovation in a Changing Market
The short-term rental market is constantly evolving, influenced by shifting traveler expectations, emerging technologies, and global events. Steve’s forward-thinking mindset has kept My Getaways on the leading edge. He has championed the use of dynamic pricing algorithms, streamlined booking processes, around-the-clock guest support, and the introduction of services like ozone cleaning, noise monitoring, and smart energy management. Through these innovations, Steve ensures that My Getaways owners never get left behind.
