Switching from Casago to Titan Beach Rentals
San Diego property owners are discovering that “boutique” national management still means out-of-state teams. Here’s why local expertise matters—and how we make switching seamless.
Why San Diego Owners Are Leaving Casago
Casago markets itself as a “boutique” alternative to big national chains, but San Diego owners are finding similar issues:
1. Still Not Actually Local
Casago’s “local presence” often means a small satellite office with staff managing properties across multiple states. They’re based in Arizona, not San Diego. When emergencies happen, you’re still dealing with out-of-state coordination and delayed responses.
2. Tech-First Means Less Personal Service
Casago emphasizes their technology platform and automation. Apps and dashboards are nice, but when you need actual human help with a San Diego STRO issue or guest problem, you’re routed through ticketing systems instead of talking to someone who knows your property.
3. Growing Too Fast
Casago is expanding rapidly into new markets. Fast growth often means stretched resources, inexperienced local staff, and less attention to individual properties. Owners notice declining communication quality as the company scales.
4. No Deep San Diego Knowledge
Managing Mission Beach requires different strategies than La Jolla. STRO licensing tiers, neighborhood events, seasonal patterns, and local competition all matter. Multi-state companies—even “boutique” ones—can’t match truly local expertise.
5. Same National Company Issues
Despite the boutique marketing, owners report the same problems as larger national chains: rotating account managers, slow maintenance response, generic pricing strategies, and difficulty reaching decision-makers when issues arise.
6. Pricing Doesn’t Reflect Reality
Technology-driven dynamic pricing sounds sophisticated, but algorithms don’t capture San Diego’s nuances. Comic-Con week, beach season patterns, and neighborhood-specific events require local market knowledge that automated systems miss.

Technology and dashboards are nice, but they don’t replace local expertise and personal attention:
📞 Real Human Connection
Apps are convenient, but when you need actual help, you want a human. Text or call your dedicated San Diego manager directly—no apps, no portals, no automated responses. Just real people who know your property.
🏖️ Actual San Diego Expertise
We don’t manage properties in Phoenix, Denver, and Seattle. Just San Diego beaches. We know every STRO tier, every neighborhood pattern, every local event, and exactly what drives bookings in Mission Beach vs. La Jolla.
⚡ Minute-Level Response Times
No out-of-state coordination delays. No time zone confusion. When a guest locks themselves out or a pipe bursts, our San Diego team is there in minutes—literally. We’re local, not “locally staffed.”
🔧 Trusted Local Contractors
We’ve worked with the same San Diego contractors for years. They know our properties, our standards, and respond immediately. No random vendors or lowest-bidder quality issues.
📊 Context-Aware Pricing
Algorithms + local knowledge = better results. We use data AND experience. Comic-Con, beach volleyball tournaments, neighborhood festivals—we know when to adjust rates because we’re here.
💰 No Franchise Overhead
Multi-market companies have corporate overhead, franchise fees, and national infrastructure costs. We’re lean, local, and efficient—which means better service at competitive pricing without hidden fees.

Casago markets itself as different from big chains, but San Diego requires more than branding—it requires actual local presence.
Multi-Market = Divided Attention
When your management company operates in 15+ cities, San Diego is just one market among many. We only do San Diego beaches. Your property isn’t competing for attention with portfolios in other states.
100% focused on San Diego beach rentals
STRO Licensing Can’t Be Automated
San Diego’s STRO system is complex, tiered, and constantly evolving. Tier 4 vs. Tier 2 requirements, cap compliance, TOT reporting—this requires hands-on San Diego-specific expertise, not corporate policy manuals.
We handle STRO for every property personally
You Deserve Direct Access
Apps and portals have their place, but when you need help, you shouldn’t submit a ticket. You should text your manager. That’s how local management works—direct, personal, immediate.
Direct cell phone access to your manager

Start Your Transition Today →Common Questions About Switching from Casago
Is Casago really that different from larger national companies?
While Casago markets itself as “boutique,” they still manage properties across multiple states from Arizona headquarters. The challenges are similar: out-of-state coordination, divided attention, and lack of deep local expertise. True local management means living and working exclusively in San Diego.
Will I lose the technology platform Casago provides?
We provide owner portals, monthly statements, and reporting. The difference is we don’t hide behind technology—you also get direct human access. Technology should enhance service, not replace it.
What happens to my existing Casago bookings?
Casago honors all bookings made during their management period. After your termination date, new bookings come through Titan. We coordinate the handoff so there’s zero downtime.
How much does switching cost?
There’s no switching fee. Professional photography and listing optimization are included in our standard service. The only potential cost is if your contract has an early termination penalty (we’ll review and advise).
Will switching affect my STRO license?
No. STRO licenses stay with the property, not the management company. We simply update the responsible party with the city and take over compliance reporting. We handle this transition routinely.
How long does the switching process take?
From initial consultation to go-live: typically 6-8 weeks depending on your contract termination notice period. We use that time to photograph, optimize, and prepare everything for a seamless launch.
