Compare a local property-management partner with a listing platform, then decide how you want to handle marketing, operations, and guest support.
Explore Owner ServicesExplore This GuideAirbnb is a booking marketplace. A property-management agreement covers a different set of responsibilities. An owner can use a platform while managing a property personally, or work with a manager whose marketing may include third-party channels.
Compare the work you want to do yourself with the responsibilities you want a local team to handle. Ask each provider for its current written scope of service.
Ask where the property will be listed, how inquiries are handled, and which costs apply to direct and third-party bookings.
Compare housekeeping coordination, property care, guest support, and after-hours procedures. Confirm which services are included and which carry an additional charge.
Request examples of reporting, payment timing, maintenance communication, and how you can review your property’s performance.
Review management charges, platform fees, housekeeping, maintenance, taxes, and other agreement terms together. Fee structures can change, so obtain the current proposal rather than relying on a generic percentage.
A lower headline fee does not establish the best overall result. Compare the property’s income, operating costs, service needs, and owner workload.
