Emergency Vendor Network

Your 911 for Vacation Rental Emergencies

When vendors cancel, guests arrive to dirty units, or emergencies strike—get help from verified vendors in minutes, not hours.

Every Property Manager's Nightmare

The No-Show

Your cleaner doesn't show. Check-in is in 3 hours. Your phone is blowing up with frantic calls—but your backup list is outdated and nobody's answering.

The Last-Minute Illness

Your reliable vendor calls at 7am—they're sick. You have 4 turnovers today and zero backup. Guests are already en route.

The Dirty Unit

A guest messages you photos of a filthy bathroom. Your cleaner swears they cleaned it. The guest wants a refund—or worse, they're posting reviews.

The Urgent Repair

The hot tub is broken, AC died in August, or there's a leak. Your usual guy is booked solid. Guests arrive tomorrow.

The old way: Frantically scroll through contacts, post in Facebook groups, beg other managers for referrals...

The VendorRex way: One click. Instant alerts to verified vendors ready to help.

How Rapid Response Works

A triple-channel alert system that gets you help fast

1. You Trigger Alert

Hit the emergency button in VendorRex. Describe your need: cleaning, maintenance, hot tub, etc.

2. Triple Broadcast

All opted-in vendors in your area receive simultaneous text, email, and phone call alerts.

3. Vendors Respond

Available vendors claim the job. You see their verification status, ratings, and ETA in real-time.

4. Crisis Averted

A verified vendor arrives. Your guest checks into a clean unit. Your reputation stays intact.

For Property Managers

Your Safety Net When Everything Goes Wrong

Pre-Verified Vendors Only

Every rapid response vendor has passed background checks, insurance verification, and license confirmation.

Minutes, Not Hours

Triple-channel alerts (SMS, email, phone) ensure vendors see your request immediately—not when they check their inbox.

Motivated Responders

Rapid response vendors earn bonus reputation points, so they're incentivized to be available and deliver quality work.

Peace of Mind

Know that no matter what happens, you have a backup plan. Stop living in fear of no-shows and emergencies.

Unlike scrambling through Facebook groups or outdated contact lists, Rapid Response gives you instant access to vendors who are:

  • Already verified and vetted
  • Actively opted-in for emergencies

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast will vendors respond to my rapid response request?

Opted-in vendors receive simultaneous alerts via text, email, and phone call. Most requests receive responses within minutes, with vendors typically on-site within 1-2 hours depending on location and availability.

Are rapid response vendors pre-verified?

Yes. Only vendors who have completed VendorRex's full verification process (background checks, insurance verification, license confirmation) can opt into the rapid response network. You're never rolling the dice with an unknown vendor.

How do vendors benefit from rapid response?

Vendors who complete rapid response jobs receive their standard payment plus bonus reputation points in the VendorRex system. This helps them stand out to property managers and access more job opportunities—making them more likely to accept your emergency request.

What types of emergencies does rapid response cover?

Rapid response covers any urgent vendor need including cleaning (missed turnovers, dirty units), maintenance (plumbing, HVAC, electrical), hot tub/pool emergencies, and other time-sensitive property issues.

What if no vendors respond?

While rare, if no vendors in your area are available, we'll expand the search radius and notify you immediately. As the VendorRex network grows, coverage and response rates continue to improve.

Is there an extra charge for rapid response?

Rapid response is included as part of VendorRex premium subscriptions. You pay the vendor their standard rate—no emergency surcharges or platform fees on rapid response jobs.
