The method behind the ranking.
The same rubric for every tool, run on a live calendar, weighted by real-world impact.
A Keystone Rental Journal score is not a vibe or a vendor claim. It earns its keep on real bookings for a season before we write a word. Only then does it get a number — or, sometimes, no number at all.
Our four-part rubric
Nothing is scored from the outside. We run it on live listings through the messy parts — check-ins, cancellations, busy weekends — first.
Regional reach · 30%
Whether somebody on their payroll can stand at your door inside an hour in February.
Licence handling · 30%
Whether they know which municipal permission your address needs, and have filed it before.
Terms on paper · 25%
Whether the fee basis, the add-ons and the notice period can be read without a sales call.
Turnover load · 15%
What happens on the Friday every cabin in the township changes hands at once.
