Multiple service areas for Property Manager Marketplace

Problem statement

Service providers in the Property Manager Marketplace—including co-hosts, remote property managers, and other service professionals—can currently only set one service area in their profile. This severely limits their visibility to property owners outside their single designated area, even though many providers offer remote services across multiple states or regions.

Current workaround

Service providers must choose only one service area to list in their Marketplace profile, which means they can only be matched with property owners within a 30-mile radius of that single location, regardless of whether they provide services remotely.

Impact

• Lost business opportunities: Service providers miss out on potential matches with owners in other states/regions where they can provide co-hosting or remote management services
• Reduced marketplace effectiveness: The marketplace doesn't accurately represent the full geographic scope of a service provider's capabilities, especially for remote services
• Competitive disadvantage: Multi-state and remote service providers appear to have a smaller service footprint than they actually do
• Inefficient matching: Owners in areas where the provider can work remotely won't see them as an option if they're outside the single designated service area
• Doesn't reflect modern service models: Many providers offer co-hosting and other services remotely, making geographic restrictions less relevant

Proposed solution

Allow service providers to add multiple service areas to their Property Manager Marketplace profile, so they can be visible and matched with property owners across all regions where they operate—whether on-site or remotely.

Unlock

• Be visible to property owners across all states and regions where they offer services (remote or on-site)
• Accurately represent their full geographic service capabilities and remote service offerings
• Receive match opportunities from owners in any of their service areas
• Maximize their business growth potential through the marketplace
• Better reflect modern co-hosting and remote property management business models
