“Ann Arbor has seven football Saturdays that matter more than almost anything else. Michigan home games at the Big House can earn several normal weekends' worth each. Graduation and the Art Fair add peaks, and Michigan Medicine brings long medical stays. The city's rules on short-term rentals also need checking.”

The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Ann Arbor books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Price each Michigan home football weekend individually as soon as the schedule is out.
Price graduation and parents' weekends as premiums.
Add the Ann Arbor Art Fair in July.
Build 30-plus-night rates for medical and academic stays.
Check the city's rules for the property type.

Outside basketball and hockey weekends, the city is quiet, so I lean on medical and academic stays with weekly and monthly rates.
Campus visits and admitted-student days build toward commencement, which I price as the top spring event with a two or three-night minimum.
The Art Fair in July is the summer peak, so I price it as an event and keep the rest of summer flexible for visiting researchers and families.
Football Saturdays at the Big House drive the year, so I price each home game separately and lift move-in and parents' weekends too.
Students leave and visitors are few, so I lower floors and keep monthly rates attractive for medical staff and visiting faculty.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Ann Arbor needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For Ann Arbor owners I check the city's rules first, then price around the football schedule, commencement and the Art Fair. The plan also builds monthly stays for medical and academic visitors, so the property earns outside the seven big Saturdays.
For hosts I set up your pricing tool with each home game priced individually, commencement and the Art Fair as events, and monthly discounts for Michigan Medicine visitors and staff. Minimum stays match how football and family visitors actually book.
My five-star background helps Ann Arbor hotels balance university, medical and leisure demand, fence football and commencement weekends with proper stay controls, and plan group allocations for visiting teams, alumni events and academic conferences without crowding out the higher-paying transient guests who book late for big games.

Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

Game by game, with rivalry games highest, opened when the schedule is released.
Yes, Michigan Medicine creates long-stay demand. Alaa builds monthly rates for it.
No. Rivalry games, night games and big conference matchups bring far more visitors than early-season games against smaller schools. I price each game individually as soon as the schedule is released, and I adjust as kickoff times and team performance become clear.
Yes. Patients, families and visiting staff often need a place for a week or more near the hospital. I build weekly and monthly rates for these guests, which fill the quieter months when football and campus events are not driving demand.
