Professional guidance to set you up for success with self-management of your short term rental.
Here’s the reality: co-hosting might not be the best option for you (and we get that, but we still want to help).
Self-Management is Typically Best For:
Owners with Multiple Properties: Maximize efficiency and profits by managing your properties together without paying multiple management fees and instead grow your own team so you still have boots on the ground.
Hands-On Hosts: Those who enjoy engaging directly with guests and personalizing their stay experience.
Tech-Savvy Individuals: People comfortable with using software tools to automate bookings, communication, and other management tasks.
Owners Seeking Greater Profit Margins: Reduce overhead costs by eliminating management fees and retaining more of your rental income. (Those interest rates are killer, we get it!)
The problem is: self-management can be completely exhausting and overwhelming without the right systems and automations in place (and ultimately leaves guests feeling frustrated too).
Our self-management set up process looks like this:
Step 1: On-site visit to your short-term rental property (or virtual tour)
Tour the property
Make suggestions to enhance the guest experience
Provide a checklist for supplies/inventory with our most loved products by guests and our team
Step 2: Handle listing your home on Airbnb and VRBO
Create the listing under your account
Write keyword-oriented descriptions and titles
Add photos with captions and optimize the listing so that the platforms will get your property in front of guests quicker and more often(photography coordination included if needed)
Step 3: Set up accounts on Pricelabs and Hospitable
Set up messaging on Hospitable with custom automations
Integrate the lock and record a training overview on using the platform
Customize Pricelabs based on demand, seasonality, and events, and record a video for making adjustments
We’ll link all platforms to make sure they’re working together to help you run your listings and guest experience with less time and stress on your end
Step 4: Provide training and support
Offer pre-recorded videos or schedule a Zoom session (recorded) for listing optimization and insights
Answer questions and provide support for 30 days after the listing is live
BONUS - We’re also including:
A digital or physical guidebook made for your property
The system we use for our cleaning team checklist and supply restocking needs
Guest welcome signage to make the arrival process that much easier
