See What's Included

You Win, We Win

Our fee is a percentage of your revenue - after the cleaning fee is removed. No flat monthly fees, no setup costs, no surprises.

01

Revenue After Cleaning Fee

Your cleaning fee is subtracted first. Our percentage is only taken from the actual rental revenue - meaning your cleaning costs are never factored into our cut.

02

We Only Earn When You Earn

No bookings, no fee. There are zero monthly minimums or retainers. Our income is 100% tied to your property's performance, which keeps us motivated to maximize every booking.

03

No Setup Fees. Ever.

Onboarding, listing creation, channel setup, pricing strategy, direct booking website - all included at no upfront cost. We invest in your property because we know the revenue follows.

How Onboarding Works

From first conversation to fully live - here's exactly what happens and when.

1
Day 1

Free Revenue Analysis Call

We start with a no-obligation call to review your property, discuss your goals, and show you what comparable properties in your market are earning. You'll leave knowing exactly what your property should be making.

2
Day 1–2

Onboarding Form Sent

We send you a detailed onboarding form covering everything we need: property specs, bedroom/bathroom layout, amenities, access instructions, house rules, preferred guest types, and any existing listing details. The more we know, the better we perform.

3
Day 2–3

Onboarding Strategy Call

Once we review your form, we hop on a strategy call to lock in your pricing approach, set up automated check-in and check-out messages, build your guest communication sequence, and align on your minimum stay rules and seasonal strategy.

4
Day 3–5

Listing Build-Out

We craft SEO-optimized listings with titles and descriptions designed to rank in Airbnb and VRBO search. Every amenity is documented, every selling point highlighted. We also advise on photography if needed - great photos are the #1 conversion driver.

5
Day 5–7

Channel Manager Activation

Your property goes live across 15+ booking platforms simultaneously - Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Expedia, Hopper, and more. Our channel manager keeps all calendars in real-time sync so double bookings are impossible.

6
Week 2

Direct Booking Website Created

We build you a standalone direct booking website for your property. This lets repeat guests and referrals book directly - bypassing OTA service fees and putting more money in your pocket on every reservation.

7
Week 2

Guest Portal Setup

Guests get access to a self-serve portal where they can request early check-in, late checkout, and add-on services. These ancillary revenue streams - even at $50–100 per request - add up significantly over the course of a year.

8
Ongoing

Continuous Optimization

Rates are reviewed and adjusted daily. We monitor market demand, local events, competitor pricing, and calendar gaps. You receive monthly performance reports benchmarking your revenue, occupancy, and ADR against comparable properties.

Our Full Management Platform

Every tool, strategy, and system we use to maximize your property's performance.

Channel Management

We list and manage your property across 15+ booking platforms simultaneously. A channel manager keeps all calendars in real-time sync - zero double bookings, maximum exposure.

airbnb VRBO booking.com Expedia Tripadvisor Hopper + more

Dynamic Pricing Engine

Rates are reviewed and adjusted based on market demand, local events, seasonality, competitor pricing, and days-until-arrival. The right rate at the right time fills more nights at higher prices.

  • Daily rate adjustments
  • Event & holiday pricing spikes
  • Last-minute & advance booking strategy

Direct Booking Website

OTA platforms charge guests 12–15% service fees, which reduces your competitiveness. We build you a professional direct booking site so guests can book without OTA fees - increasing your net revenue per booking.

  • Your own branded booking page
  • Eliminates OTA service fees for guests
  • Captures repeat & referral bookings

Guest Portal & Ancillary Revenue

Our guest portal lets guests self-serve early check-in, late checkout, and add-on requests. These generate extra revenue beyond the nightly rate that adds up fast over the course of a year.

  • Early check-in / late checkout fees
  • Add-on service requests
  • Automated approval & payment

Automated Guest Messaging

Every booking triggers a professional communication sequence - confirmation, pre-arrival instructions, door codes, local recommendations, mid-stay check-in, and a post-stay review request.

  • Instant booking confirmations
  • Automated check-in instructions
  • Review request sequences

Listing SEO Optimization

We write titles and descriptions engineered to rank in Airbnb and VRBO search. Strategic use of amenities, keywords, and photo order to maximize click-through rate and conversion.

  • Keyword-optimized titles & descriptions
  • Amenity & photo sequencing
  • Ongoing A/B testing & updates

OTA Promotion Management

Each platform has its own set of promotional tools that require regular attention - and when used strategically, they're one of the most powerful levers for visibility and bookings. We activate the right promotions at the right time to push your listing to the top of search results, trigger platform-sent emails to interested guests, display a discounted strikethrough price, and show a discount banner directly on your listing. We're essentially using each platform's own algorithm against the competition - boosting your visibility while filling calendar gaps without leaving money on the table.

  • Listings pushed to top of search results via platform promotions
  • Platform-triggered emails sent to guests who viewed your listing
  • Strikethrough pricing & discount banners on your listing
  • Early bird, last-minute, weekly & monthly rate management
  • Each platform managed separately - Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com & more

Revenue & Performance Reporting

Monthly reports showing your revenue, occupancy rate, ADR (average daily rate), and market comparison data. You always know exactly how your property is performing relative to the market.

  • Monthly performance summaries
  • Market benchmark comparisons
  • Occupancy & ADR tracking

Pricing Strategy by Property Type

A 2BR condo and a 5BR pool home require completely different strategies. We build custom pricing profiles based on your property's size, amenities, location, and the specific demand patterns in your market.

  • Size & amenity-based pricing
  • Seasonal demand curves
  • Minimum stay optimization

We Use AI Where Other Operators Use Guesswork

We've built a full AI intelligence layer on top of our management platform. From your first revenue projection to ongoing portfolio optimization - every decision is backed by data and AI analysis.

AI Revenue Projections

Before you sign anything, we build a detailed AI-powered revenue model for your property. We analyze 12+ months of comparable listing data, local demand patterns, seasonality curves, and occupancy benchmarks to project exactly what your property should earn - not a generic estimate, a real model built around your specific address.

Investment Deal Analysis

Considering a new STR property? We run every deal through AirDNA market data combined with AI analysis to project revenue, occupancy rate, average daily rate, and estimated cap rate before you close. We break down the market, identify what's performing, and show you whether the numbers actually work - so you invest with confidence, not hope.

Market Intelligence & Opportunity Identification

We continuously analyze STR market data across the US to identify where demand is outpacing supply, which property types are commanding premiums, and which markets are emerging before they get crowded. If you're deciding where to buy next, this gives you a real edge over operators who are just guessing.

Smart Amenity Recommendations

Not all amenities are equal - and what drives bookings in Nashville is different from what guests want in Scottsdale. Our AI analyzes which amenities generate the highest booking premiums and ADR lifts in your specific market. We tell you exactly what to add (and what's not worth the investment) so every dollar you spend on the property earns back more than it cost.

Real-Time Dynamic Pricing AI

Our pricing algorithms re-evaluate rates daily using competitor pricing, local event calendars, weather data, demand velocity signals, days-until-arrival curves, and platform-specific booking patterns. This isn't a static rate sheet - it's a continuously adapting strategy that captures revenue spikes and fills gaps without leaving money on the table.

Portfolio-Level Optimization

For owners with multiple properties, we aggregate performance data across your entire portfolio and run AI analysis at the portfolio level - identifying which assets are underperforming relative to their potential, where pricing strategy can be refined, and how to stagger minimum stays across properties to maximize total revenue. We think about your whole portfolio, not just individual units.

How We Think About Rates

Flat-rate pricing leaves thousands on the table every year. Here's how we do it differently.

  • Seasonality Curves

    We map out your market's peak, shoulder, and off-season periods and price accordingly - capturing premium rates when demand is high and staying competitive when it's slow.

  • Event-Based Spikes

    Concerts, sports events, conferences, and local festivals drive massive demand surges. We monitor local event calendars and raise rates proactively - often 2–3x on high-demand weekends.

  • Days-Until-Arrival Pricing

    A booking 90 days out is priced differently than one 3 days out. We use time-to-arrival curves to maximize revenue early and fill gaps last-minute without steep discounting.

  • Length-of-Stay Optimization

    Weekend minimums, weekday pricing adjustments, and gap-filling strategies - we configure minimum stays dynamically so your calendar fills efficiently without leaving open nights.

  • Competitor Benchmarking

    We continuously monitor what comparable listings in your area are charging and how they're performing. Your rates stay positioned to win bookings without underpricing your property.

  • Property Size Segmentation

    Pricing a 2BR is completely different from pricing a 5BR pool home. We build custom rate profiles based on your exact bedroom count, amenity set, and the demand curve for that property type in your market.

Why Flat Rates Don't Work

Most self-managing owners set a rate and leave it. The market moves every single day - demand shifts, competitors adjust, events come and go. A static rate means you're overpriced when demand is low (empty nights) and underpriced when demand is high (money left on the table).

Dynamic pricing isn't about discounting - it's about capturing the right price at the right moment. Properties we manage typically see their revenue increase within the first 60–90 days simply from pricing corrections alone.

Combined with better listing visibility, more channels, and professional guest communication, the revenue improvement often covers our management fee entirely - and then some.

We Don't Just Manage From a Screen

Anyone can list your property. We actually know it.

  • We Visit Your Property In Person

    Before your listing goes live, we schedule an in-person visit to walk through the property ourselves. We don't manage from photos alone - we need to feel the space the way a guest will.

  • We Take Extensive Notes on Everything

    Layout, quirks, amenities, parking situation, noise levels, neighborhood walkability, nearest grocery store - we document it all. When a guest asks at 11pm if there's a hair dryer, we know the answer without guessing.

  • Accurate Guest Answers, Every Time

    Most management companies guess. We answer every guest question accurately because we've been in the property. That level of detail leads to better reviews, fewer complaints, and more repeat bookings.

  • We Build a Local Team Around Your Property

    We source and vet local cleaners, handymen, lawn care, pool maintenance, and more - all in your market. We negotiate the best rates without sacrificing quality, and we always have backups lined up so your property is never left waiting on a single vendor.

  • You Work With Us Directly

    No call centers, no account managers rotating every quarter. When you reach out, you talk to the people actually managing your property. That direct relationship means faster decisions and a team that actually cares about your investment.

"We don't just manage. We protect your income, your asset, and your peace of mind-like it's ours."

Common Questions About STR Management

Everything owners ask before getting started.

What is short-term rental management?

STR management means a company handles all aspects of renting your property on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO - pricing, listings, guest communication, channel distribution, and performance optimization - in exchange for a percentage of your rental revenue.

How does a channel manager work?

A channel manager connects your property to multiple booking platforms (Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, etc.) through a single dashboard. When a booking comes in on any platform, all other calendars update instantly - eliminating double bookings and manual calendar management.

What is dynamic pricing and why does it matter?

Dynamic pricing means your nightly rate adjusts automatically based on demand signals - local events, seasonality, competitor rates, days until arrival, and booking pace. Static pricing almost always means overpriced slow nights and underpriced peak nights, costing owners thousands per year.

How is your fee calculated exactly?

We take a percentage of your gross rental revenue after the cleaning fee is subtracted. For example, if a guest pays $1,000 and the cleaning fee is $150, our fee is calculated on $850. Core Management is 10%, Full Service is 15%.

What's the difference between Airbnb and direct booking?

Airbnb charges guests a 12–15% service fee on top of your nightly rate. Direct bookings bypass that fee entirely - guests pay less, you earn more, and there's no OTA taking a cut. We build you a direct booking website as part of onboarding.

How long does onboarding take?

Most properties are fully live within 7–14 days of signing. This includes the onboarding form, strategy call, listing build-out, channel manager activation, and direct booking website setup. We move fast because every day offline is revenue lost.

What is ADR and why does it matter?

ADR stands for Average Daily Rate - the average amount you earn per booked night. It's one of the two key performance metrics for STR properties (the other being occupancy rate). A higher ADR means more revenue per booking, which is why pricing strategy matters so much.

Can I block dates for personal use?

Absolutely. You can block any dates you want at any time. Your property is still yours - we just manage it when it's available for guests. We ask for reasonable notice when possible so we can adjust pricing around your blocks.

What markets do you serve?

We manage properties across all markets in the United States. No matter where your property is located, we can build a local team and apply our management system. Reach out to discuss your specific market.

Do I need professional photos?

Professional photos are the single highest-ROI investment you can make in your STR listing. We strongly recommend them and can advise on what to shoot. Great photos directly increase click-through rates, booking conversion, and the rates guests are willing to pay.

What happens if a guest damages something?

Airbnb's AirCover program provides up to $3M in host damage protection. VRBO has similar coverage. We document your property thoroughly during onboarding so any damage claims are supported with detailed pre-arrival records.

How do I know how my property is performing?

We send monthly performance reports covering your revenue, occupancy rate, ADR, and a market comparison showing how you stack up against similar properties nearby. You'll always have full visibility into how your investment is performing.
