Wister Insurance®, the specialty insurance agency built for short-term rental managers and co-hosts, has earned Better Business Bureau (BBB) accreditation, giving property managers independent verification of the agency's advertising, sales, and complaint-handling practices.
BOZEMAN, Mont., Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Wister Insurance®, the specialty insurance agency built exclusively for short-term rental managers, co-hosts, and property management companies, has been awarded accreditation by the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
BBB accreditation is not automatic. Businesses must apply, pass a review, and commit to the BBB Standards for Trust, which cover honest advertising, transparent business practices, responsiveness to customer concerns, and safeguarding customer privacy. Accredited businesses are reviewed on an ongoing basis and can lose the designation if they fall out of compliance.
For the property managers Wister serves, the accreditation addresses a practical problem. Short-term rental managers shopping for coverage are often evaluating carriers and agencies they have never heard of, frequently under time pressure from an owner contract or a platform requirement. Independent verification gives them a way to check an agency's track record before handing over anything.
"Property managers are asked to trust us with the thing that could end their business, which is a liability claim they did not see coming," said Darren Pettyjohn, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Wister Insurance. "They should not just have to take our word for it that we operate the way we say we do. BBB accreditation means somebody outside our building looked at how we advertise, how we sell, and how we handle complaints, and signed off on it."
Wister was purpose-built to close coverage gaps that most short-term rental managers do not know they have. Managers who assume they are covered under the owner's policy often discover otherwise only after a claim. Wister writes Commercial General Liability, Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions), and Contingent Liability coverage to bridge the gaps, underwritten through Lloyd's of London.
