Firstly, we wanted to talk a little about why you’ve made a right choice by reaching out to us. We are Broker / Owners @ Century 21 Millennium Inc. - North Offices - We are locals in Blue Mountain with over 10 years experience dealing with Short Term Accommodations(STA) and Commercial Resort Units (CRU) properties. These terms are very important to understand, and we will go further into detail to explain the difference.
We not only have worked in this area but have a Short-Term Rental Accommodation (STA) Property active within Blue Mountain ourselves so we are great consultants on the Management possibilities in the area. We made the leap in 2021 and built a brand new Triplex in the Tyrolean Village area which was s smaller chalet style cabin at first but is now one of our most successful projects and we are so thrilled how the property turned out!
Our Property is run by one of our most trusted colleagues and long time friends Stu Frith. He is the Business Development Manager at Vacasa and really knows all the in's and outs of the property management world.
As a Collaborating Team we have all the knowledge and experience you will need to make the best possible choice at investing at Blue Mountain!
In the Town of Blue Mountains, there are several different types and locations to consider. The local bylaws regarding STA and CRU properties are quite detailed and require an educated advisor to make sure you are able to do the activities with your property that you have in mind. Being open with us about your short and long-term goals is essential to making sure the properties we suggest are suitable. The different areas are listed below with some key points. If one or several of them peak your interest, please let us know and we can set you up to receive more information or have a call or to review and go over your interest and specific goals.
