Does anyone use EVOLVE?

[Gino26]

I get alot of e-mails from a company called EVOLVE,,, another vacation booking company that uses multiple booking companies            ( homeaway, airbnb, VRBO, etc) to list your property and to hopefully generate more reservations for the homeowner.  Has anyone actually done this ?  How did airbnb get involved with these people ?

Hello I am a host with Airbnb and thinking about using Evolve. So, are you still happy with them?

Hello:  I'm VERY dissatisfied with Evolve.  I have been with AirBnB for two years and moved to Evolve because they flouted a high occupancy rate IF you used their dynamic pricing structure.  I was receiving reservations through AirBnB at $550/night for my large and well appointed Chalet in Arnold, CA.  Evolve recommended that I charge $80-$120/night - absolutely ridiculous!!  I have no control over the editing of my listing, nor can I reserve ONLY to parties previously registered and have positive reviews.

@Dianne389 I have used this company as a guest. They pretty much scammed me when I by mistake canceled a reservation and they just ignore my messages and request. I asked to reinstate my reservation so I wouldn't lose my money and they just ignored me and kept the money. I think that the most frustrating thing was that they just straight ignored me for three weeks so I couldn't get my money back. It is also sad that Airbnb did little to nothing to help my case even I escalated it to a supervisor. This is the last time I book with this platform. They just took a good chunk of my family's vacation budget so now I need to change my plans.

I have been using Evolve for four years. I have had great success with their management. Now since COVID I am renting almost every weekend and many weeks, even in the winter. My property is in northern Washington on the Puget Sound so very cold in the winter. I get rentals through Airbnb as well as others. Evolve is expanding since it is such a good deal so they have some growing pains. It is hard to get them on the phone but as an owner I can make a request and they get right back to me. It is not too good to be true — it is true!

I doubt the authenticity of this review as he became a member on Feb 2020. posted this reviewand never came back to the forum ….

[Sarah977]

@Kim2948  You talking about Phil's post right above yours? If so, yeah, it looks like some suspicious cheerleading to me. But his profile shows as from 2017, not 2020, yet not any activity- no reviews, no listings.

[Kim2948]

@Sarah977 yes he joined airbnb in 2017 and the airbnb community in Feb 2020.

I'm hoping someone can tell me.  So far I can't tell what they do other than marketing and contacting guests.  Hoping someone has some experience with them.
