What we handle.
Your listing
We write and tune the listing on Airbnb, and on VRBO, Booking.com or Furnished Finder when they suit the home.
Pricing and calendar
Rates adjusted to Seattle demand, and your own dates blocked whenever you ask.
Every guest message
Questions before booking, check-in help, problems mid-stay, reviews and disputes. All of it, start to finish.
Cleaning and linens
We coordinate local cleaners and linens to our standard. If a clean misses the mark, we send them back.
Repairs
We coordinate urgent repairs and check the work. Anything over $1,000 waits for your OK, unless it's an emergency.
Quarterly visits
We walk through the home in person every quarter, so small things stay small.
Search ranking
We tune the listing to rank well on Airbnb. Nobody can promise a placement, and we won't pretend to.
Your money, in plain sight
An owner portal with monthly statements and your full transaction history. Payouts by ACH on the 1st for the month before.
What isn't included
Deep cleans and upholstery cleaning · Structural or major repairs · Exterior windows · Painting · Yard and garden work · Mold or biohazard cleanup · Pest extermination · Power washing · Moving heavy furniture
The fee
What it costs.
Ongoing
20% of gross revenue, plus $50 a month for pricing technology. Each monthly statement itemizes revenue, fees and expenses.
Before launch
No setup fee to us. You cover the deep clean, professional photos and stocking the home.
The words
Property manager or co-host?
Owners search for a short-term rental property manager, an Airbnb manager or a co-host, and in Seattle those words overlap. Our service runs through Airbnb's co-host tools: you invite us to your listing and we run it day to day. More on that model in our Airbnb co-hosting guide.
Choosing
How to choose a Seattle short-term rental manager.
Ask any company you're considering, including us:
- What is the full fee, and what's charged on top of it?
- Whose Airbnb account holds the listing and its reviews?
- Whose name is on the Seattle license?
- How much notice does it take to leave? Any termination fee?
- Who comes when something breaks, and how far away are they?
- Can I see a real monthly statement before I sign?
Track record
Who you'd be working with.

Homes across Seattle, including Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, Ballard, South Lake Union, Wallingford, West Seattle, Beacon Hill and Rainier Valley, plus nearby cities such as Edmonds, Burien and Des Moines.
Do I still need a Seattle short-term rental license?
Yes. The City of Seattle lets an operator hire a property management company, but the license must be in the owner's name. Licensing is the first step of our onboarding and we walk you through it.
Does the listing stay in my Airbnb account?
Yes. You invite us as co-host on your own listing, and you can see every booking yourself.
Can I leave?
Yes. Either side can end the arrangement with 30 days' written notice.
Can you guarantee bookings or income?
No. We work on the listing and pricing every day, but no honest manager can guarantee an outcome.
