Meet Amber Kimbrell

Property Manager, Amber Kimbrell’s love for all things houses started from a young age. As soon as she turned 18, she went to a local real estate school and became a REALTOR. Simultaneously she was attending Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO) for their Interior Design Program and graduated with honors. At age 21, Amber bought her first home which is where she fell in love with renovating, a passion that has since not been stopped. Needing more spaces to renovate and realizing the passive income rentals brought in, Amber leveraged her sweat equity and was able to purchase more homes. Owning multiple renovated rental homes has allowed Amber to become a premium landlord.

This coupled with her love of travel is what created SEMO Short Stays and its success.

One of Amber's favorite activities while traveling is Scuba Diving! She met her Husband Quentin Kimbrell while Scuba Diving off the island of Cayman Brac.

Amber has a massive heart for animals and supports rescue efforts for both domesticated and marine life.

"Our goal is to provide our homeowners with an easy mostly hands off approach to leasing their furnished properties short term."

Our Property Management

Here at SEMO Short Stays, we offer all-inclusive property management for furnished short-term rentals in the Southeast Missouri area! We are locally owned and operated, we live, work, and play here!

We value the importance of having a "partnership" with our owners as we represent one of their most valued assets, their home! Being owners ourselves, we realize that for any of our rentals to be successful it is a necessity that we are all on the same page, working together towards common goals.

Our team is experienced, highly motivated, and works diligently and professionally on your behalf to ensure we provide some of the best customer service out there. We offer homes that meet every budget and every need and are very proud of our "return guest" clientele. For this reason, we are very selective on the properties/owners that we work with.

We are proud of our existing owners and the homes that are available for guests. If you would be interested in allowing our team to give your home the best opportunity for simple revenue generation, please contact us. We can put together an estimated capitalization rate for your property along with pricing and an itemized listing of the services included.

We also offer design services if you’re looking to renovate or decorate your space!

List With Us

Professional Cleaning Services

Cleaning is critical in the hospitality industry. We have a professional cleaning company that cleans between every guest. Guests will pay a cleaning fee and SEMO Short Stays will pay the cleaning team; you will see this as a pass-through on your owner's statement at the end of the month. Our cleaners are not only cleaning but also refilling supplies and looking for damage to the home.

Consumable Inventory

SEMO Short Stays strives for 5-star ratings, to ensure we maintain our quality and standardization, there will be an initial investment in supplies for your home. Once you have the home furnished and we have decided to work together, I will come in and stock your home with consumable supplies such as Toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, teas, coffees, sugar, dish soap, etc. These items will be expensed out to you. The cost will depend on the size of the home and the quantity of beds/baths you have.

Maintenance Management

A home's maintenance is very important for the longevity and efficiency of the home's systems. We have a quarterly Maintenace checkup that we perform every 3-4 months between guest stays. This checkup includes changing the furnace filters, checking smoke alarms, checking for and changing burnt-out light bulbs, check that all sinks are draining properly and no leaks as it drains. We check for any damage to the property that the cleaners may have missed, and pest spray the home.

Bedding & Misc Management

As with our consumable supplies, we have standardization with our bedding/linens. This ensures quality and allows us to have replacement linens in our backstock. This avoids any downtime waiting on shipments of replacement linens and interfering with guest stays. The bedding and linens will be expensed to you. The cost will depend on the size of the home and quantity of beds/baths you have.

Advertising Platforms

Your home will be advertised on our direct booking website. There will be a landing page and a link you can send to family and friends who would like to book your space. Currently, SEMO Short Stays also has all of its properties on the Airbnb & VRBO platforms as well. Your space will be advertised on my Airbnb profile, instantly giving your space the superhost badge! All reviews that come from guests booking on my Airbnb profile are not transferable to your own Airbnb profile at any time.

Owner's Portal

You will have your own Owner's Portal where you will have access to your booking calendar at all times. Through your portal, you will be able to see when your space is booked and also be able to block off dates if you would like to stay or have friends or family who you don't want to charge. There will still be a cleaning fee at the end of any blocked-off times, as my cleaners will have to go back in to reset the home back to our standard.
