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.
If you'd like me to look at your property first, you can book an in-person audit.
