Testimonials
No Vacation Rental Software or Corporate Housing Software is perfect. We understand that. However, what makes the difference between software and GREAT software is the people and support behind the system.
Barefoot prides itself in developing long term relationships with our clients. We believe helping our clients succeed - because as they grow, we grow. As they succeed, we succeed.
Here is what some of our clients have said about Barefoot.

"I have been a fan of Barefoot for years and was one of their first clients. 3 years ago, I opened my own company and in this down economy we have grown to 11 people and 25 million in sales, 2.5 million in rentals with triple digit growth every year. Their technology, support and people, who I consider my partners in rentals made it easier to take this huge jump and allowed me to grow quickly into one of the leading real estate companies in the area.

"I have managed vacation rental programs on Maui for almost 20 years and have always believed that no business can prosper unless you are able meet or exceed your customers expectations. Though each software product I have used has had it's own strengths & weaknesses, I believe ultimately what matters is whether you receive the support you need, when you need it. I have found Steve Brandt, Jennifer Li and the rest of the Barefoot team to have constantly demonstrated timely courteous service that define the word "support" and would recommend them to anyone. Mahalo!"

"Myrtle Beach Resort Vacations was founded by visionaries looking to be creative and push the vacation rental market in Myrtle Beach SC. To assist our creativity and desire to be cutting edge, we looked at all the software providers on the market for a system that would be able to provide us with a complete rental solution but that reflected our cutting edge needs. In choosing Barefoot as our solution, we not only got a rock solid browser based program, the most innovative product on the market, we have a partner. So much so that we have, in less than a year, been able to increase our inventory from 200 to 400 units. Barefoot was one of our best business decisions and I cannot emphasize that enough."

"Professional Sports is a unique rental agency, our market is catering to professional athletes and their off season training lodging and service needs. We work with these elite athletes, who require elite service. This is why we choose Barefoot, their system offers functionality our clients demand and thus we demand. After a through review of the rental products on the market, it was clear and continues to be clear that Barefoot is the elite solution in this industry. We are not only happy with the current product, but are astounded with the new solutions including the social media they are coming out with that truly allow us to continue maximize our niche and be a leader in this industry."

"We bought Barefoot as a real estate company knowing we needed not only software but a mentor who could help us steer around the pit falls of the rental business. We are so happy we made the decision to go with Barefoot. The program is great, but more importantly the knowledge and the interest they have in our company make me sleep better at night."

"I want to pass along to you and the Barefoot team how wonderful it is to not only have the great customer service you provide for your software package and working with you, but also how great the software is. Your online reservations link is especially great, and I've receive so many compliments on how easy it is to do a reservation with us, due to this feature."

"We cannot say enough about Barefoot, Agent 3.0c and Ownernet. The support is extremely quick and efficient. The software’s flexibility, ability to be customized and the staff’s interest in our business allows us to stay ahead of our competition. Our owners love the Ownernet and we think that Barefoot’s social media products are revolutionary."

"I have been with Barefoot since December of 2008. Even though I may not be the largest client in Barefoot’s stable, they treat me as if I am the most important client they have every time I call. I am confident that when there is something that I need to have changed, or corrected, I can contact them, get suggestions and ideas and whatever work I need will get done in a very timely manner. And I don’t worry about being invoiced for every second they work to help me. Most of the time it is included in my monthly fees, and if I am charged, the costs are always reasonable".
"The staff is friendly, courteous, and always there to help. I rely on them not only for my day to day needs, but I know if I have questions regarding strategic planning, or future needs, I can always call my sales rep, and count on him for immediate help, or he’ll get the answers for me. The Barefoot group is a great team, and have been a significant part of my success since I have been with them".

"Although change is almost always difficult, our transition from First Resorts to Barefoot has proved to be a tremendous time saver in the long run. Never did I think that so many hours could be saved with end of the month and accounting details. Check writing and balancing our bank accounts is a breeze and is allowing me to have more time off…. A wonderful Barefoot advantage! Thanks to all of you for your continued help, support and understanding of this business."

"Preferred Vacation Rentals, Inc. has been using the services of Barefoot Technologies since 2002. Jennifer Lee and Ed Ulmer all of Barefoot Technologies have truly showed their expertise at Vacation Rental Management software design and implementation. Their follow-through with our every need has been second to none. Service and scalability have been at the top of Barefoot Technologies list since our first meeting. It has been a pleasure working with Barefoot Technologies and we at Preferred Vacation Rentals look forward to many more creative ideas Barefoot will produce for us in the future."

"I have been a client of Barefoot’s for more than 8 years and the support team really goes the extra mile. They are personable, and very quick to react, they are also very interested in my business and looking for ways to assist me in not only the reservation process but my communication process. As a very engaged small business that is trying to grow, Barefoot is a true asset".

“I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the support and sales team. I know since we started using Barefoot in February 2010 that I have called support and the sales team numerous times with questions or needing help. You have all been there when I needed you, whether on a weekend or even at night.
Adapting your Vacation Rental Program to fit my needs for a hotel (Condotel) situation was a challenge for all of us. But you made it work for me. Closing out the month with Barefoot is so easy and so fast I have it done within a couple of hours. The other property we manage (which is not using Barefoot and has less units) takes my husband about 2 days to close out the month and pay the owners. The time Barefoot saves me is amazing”.

“We recently upgraded from RDP to Barefoot and the delivery process was very efficient and pretty pain free. We choose Barefoot because RDP was not keeping up with our needs. Barefoot is truly 2-3 years ahead of any of the other systems and they have the ability to be modified which was the final reason why we moved to their system. “

“We are currently in the process of installation of the Barefoot program. Because of their knowledge and experience in this industry, we have identified areas in our business where we can not only save money, but also where we can immediately increase bottom line dollars the day we go live on their system. The Barefoot team knows this business, and have opened our eyes in many ways about many things and we haven't even gotten up and running yet! WOW! What a program!!”

“We are a boutique real estate firm on Cape Cod. We do a brisk summer rental business and have just completed our first season with the Barefoot Agent software. The two biggest improvements in our rental business that are directly related to our new Barefoot system are 1) our rental specialist saves 4 to 5 hours a week on her duties due to the “automatic” nature of many of the system features; and 2) virtual elimination of “human error” especially relating to the accounting aspects of our rental business. We are very pleased with the Barefoot Agent software program and look forward to using more of its robust features in the coming rental season.”
