FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHY SHOULD I USE A FULL SERVICE MANAGEMENT COMPANY? 01

Professional management companies are experts in their field and can help avoid costly mistakes. You wouldn’t do your own root canal, would you? Leave it to the professionals! Responding to guest inquiries, reservation changes/cancellations, updating nightly rates, coordinating lawn care, scheduling cleaners, coordinating docks, coordinating repairs, providing local recommendations, paying vendors, putting together month-end statements, staging a property for photos, hiring professional photographers, the list goes on…

02

DO ALL MANAGEMENT COMPANIES CHARGE THE SAME COMMISSION?

In short, no. Some management companies offer a la carte options so you can pick which services you’d like and which ones you’ll do yourself (a hybrid of self-management and professional management), others offer low rates and commission structures but will only list/maintain your pro ti l tf like VRBO or AirBnB. It’s true that you really do get what yo

03

WHAT AVERAGE DAILY RATE SHOU EXPECT MY HOME TO BE LISTED F

The answer is unique to each property. Our team weighs many factors including market competition, time of entry to the market (fall vs spring, etc), booking lead time, amenities offered, guest count, etc. Once we conduct an onsite visit of your property we'll put together an Annal Gross Revenue Estimate of how we think your property will perform in year 1 + beyond
