💬 FAQ: Understanding Our Pricing

🏡 Why do you charge a monthly fee instead of just a commission?

The monthly fee ensures your home is maintained year-round, guest-ready, and well-managed—even when it’s not actively rented.

We are confident that homeowners will appreciate the year-round support that comes with our property management. Our vast network of vendors and service providers allows us to act quickly when needed, and our homeowners love having one dedicated number to text for any property concerns—whether they’re in town or away.

After 14 years in the industry, we’ve seen many companies offer unsustainable introductory rates only to disappear when they can’t maintain quality service. Our pricing model is built for sustainability and mutual success, ensuring long-term value for both homeowners and guests.

Additionally, the monthly fee allows us to invest in best-in-class technology to stay ahead of the industry. From Hostaway for booking management, PriceLabs for dynamic pricing, Turno for cleaning coordination, and our centralized texting service for seamless guest and homeowner communication, our tech stack ensures efficiency, visibility, and an elevated experience for all.

Homes priced below this threshold still require the same level of marketing, home maintenance and guest support to stay competitive. The higher commission helps ensure consistent service quality, guest satisfaction, and strong occupancy—regardless of price point.

Over time, we may consider lowering the commission rate for homeowners who commit to adding the right amenities and home upgrades that enhance the guest experience. We’ve learned that happy guests require less oversight, and they stay in well-maintained homes with high-quality amenities.

We work with each homeowner on a case-by-case basis to bring their home to a level where we can successfully manage it at a lower commission. This adjustment happens after time and collaboration, ensuring the home meets the standards required for long-term success.

Yes, you can pause management while in residence; however, a $500 mobilization fee applies each time you resume renting. This fee will appear on your invoice for each period when you restart management after living in the home.

The mobilization fee covers the reintegration of operations, ensuring a smooth transition back to guest stays. This includes coordinating cleaning schedules, resetting property readiness, and updating listings to maintain guest expectations.

The same property manager assigned to your home for rentals will also assist with any needs during your stay. With rising repair and service costs, we highly recommend year-round property management to ensure consistent oversight and proactive maintenance.

Many of our homeowners transition between short-term rentals, monthly stays, and even long-term yearly leases based on market demand and personal needs. Flexibility is key, and we support homeowners in adjusting their rental strategy while ensuring seamless management.

If we secure a year-long lease for your home, we offer a lowered commission split for handling both the lease and property management. This is determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the home’s size, rental value, and market conditions. Our goal is to provide a fair and balanced approach, allowing homeowners to move between short- and long-term rentals while maintaining strong revenue and property care.

Unlike companies with hidden fees and unclear terms, our pricing is completely transparent. We also only operate in markets where we have a physical presence, ensuring a higher level of service, accountability, and direct oversight.

Some national brands offer low commission rates but rely on contracted cleaners and TaskRabbit-style vendors for maintenance. While these models serve a purpose, in the high-end communities and luxury rental market in which we operate, a hands-on presence and a commitment to being good neighbors are essential for long-term success.
