R&R has taken on a whole new importance this summer, prompting an increased interest in vacation rentals where people can avoid crowds and enjoy a bucolic setting. When Realtor Magazine writer Barbara Ballinger needed perspective on the vacation rental market, Taylor Johnson immediately connected her with Tripti Kasal, senior vice president of residential sales at TJ client Baird & Warner , who also owns a vacation rental business in Michiana, Mich., on Lake Michigan. The resulting story featured Kasal’s insights on how the vacation rental market saw a shift this summer – from canceled bookings earlier this year to a lack of inventory to meet current demand. The story by Ballinger also features things to know if you’re planning a vacation rental stay.
