Owner FAQ: short-term rental management

A short-term rental manager lists the home, sets nightly prices, answers guests, arranges cleaning and repairs, and reports back to the owner. We started out running our own rentals, so we know the job, and we do all of it so you don't have to run yours.

Listing setup, pricing, guest communication, turnovers and owner reporting. The exact scope for your property is spelled out in your management agreement.
