Chris Trefry and Cameron Tingey, Co-Founders of The CT Brothers
We are Realtors and investors who personally own short-term rentals in Arizona. When we evaluate a property, the first question is always whether the numbers work at purchase. That determines the return before a single guest books.
That same discipline shapes how we manage. We track nightly rates, occupancy, reviews, expenses, and long-term asset value because those are the numbers that determine whether a portfolio actually performs over time.
You work directly with us. No call centers. No layers. Clear communication and fast action when something needs attention.

Frequently Asked Questions About Scottsdale Vacation Rental Management
Professionally managed Scottsdale properties typically run 68–75% occupancy annually. Peak months from February through April regularly exceed 85%, driven by Spring Training, the WM Phoenix Open, and the Barrett-Jackson auction. Summer months dip to the 45–55% range before demand rebuilds in the fall. A free strategy call with Chris or Cameron can give you a property-specific estimate before you commit to anything.
Peak season runs from February through April, driven by snowbird migration, mild weather, and a dense event calendar. Summer occupancy softens but does not disappear. Scottsdale still draws golf travelers, bachelorette groups, and Phoenix-area residents, and market data shows Scottsdale posted year-over-year occupancy gains in summer 2025 even as national STR occupancy declined. Dynamic pricing automatically handles seasonal adjustments, protecting occupancy in slower periods without leaving revenue behind during high-demand weekends.
Yes. Operating a short-term rental in Scottsdale requires a state TPT license from the Arizona Department of Revenue, an annual city license at $250 per property, and $500,000 in liability insurance. Owners must also register the property with the Maricopa County Assessor under ARS 33-1902 before any rental activity begins, designate a 24/7 emergency contact who can respond on-site within one hour, and notify adjacent neighbors within 30 days of licensing. The CT Brothers handles registration, compliance tracking, and the local contact requirement as part of standard management. For the full requirements, see the City of Scottsdale's short-term rental resource center.
