About Us
Brandon, Founder and CEO, likes to humbly say ten years ago he started out as just a guy who likes to fish, ski, and surf. His love of the outdoors turned a small investment into a multi-million dollar property management company with vacation homes located throughout California, Colorado, Hawaii, Florida, Tennessee, and more.
Brandon started Grand Welcome originally with a handful of condominiums in Mammoth Lakes and grew his property management company to be one of the largest in that destination. That was the start of a larger vision and the umbrella growth of Grand Welcome.
In an industry where even the largest players control less than 5% of the market share, Grand Welcome has grown significantly within the last couple of years, with 21 active destinations and 33 franchise locations already awarded. Our focus and emphasis has been on producing high revenue dollars for our homeowners and 5-star service for our vacationing guests. Our team of dedicated professionals located in the Incline Village, NV, office and our destination general managers are waiting to assist, train and support you as you grow your own management company in your home destination. We look forward to your joining our Grand Welcome family.

Proven Operational Model
The vacation rental business is one of the fastest-growing segments in the hospitality industry. Unlike owning a hotel or B&B, there is relatively little capital investment. In a lot of cases, you can work from your home using vendor services instead of having heavy payroll, employees, paying real estate taxes, and sky-high utility bills. A vacation rental management business allows you to manage others' homes, without having to invest and own the property yourself, in order to receive rental revenue income.
Powerful Technology
At Grand Welcome, our proprietary reservation and accounting system helps you open the door to your business on day one. There is no need for you to interview a dozen different companies offering reservation systems, employ a bookkeeper, write contracts, and handle sales, advertising, and marketing—we do it all for you! You’re staffed for business with a back-office administrative support team of highly qualified and trained professionals in reservations, customer service, marketing, and accounting.

At Grand Welcome, we focus solely on teaching, training, and giving you all the necessary tools you need to grow and succeed in the vacation rental business.

We will teach you how to grow your owner base, inventory homes, and maintain them to our quality standards. You automatically have a database consisting of over 10 years of Grand Welcome guests for us to introduce to your destination.
