​These may seem like simple tasks, but it is way more complex than
you might think. Handling needy guest inquiries, problem-solving an AC
that won’t work in the middle of the night, or shutting down an unruly
party occurring at your home are all routine tasks in the life of a
short term rental manager. A good property manager will have systems in
place to avoid these issues when possible, and proven strategies to
diffuse these types of problems when they do inevitably occur.
In
an industry where one bad review can ruin you, choosing the right STR
manager can make or break your Airbnb. In general, going with a locally
owned and operated property management company will provide you with the
best experience and care.
HERE ARE A FEW TIPS WHEN SELECTING A PROPERTY MANAGER FOR YOUR AUSTIN VACATION RENTAL:
- check reviews and references
- examine the property management agreement
- make sure they have appropriate insurance
- look for specialized experience
- verify licenses and certifications
If you find a good management company, you shouldn’t be doing anything but collecting a check every month.
