Airbnb Real Estate

[Tiffany137]

I have a successful Airbnb business but I am ready to retire. The house is perfect for Airbnb and fulfills a niche in my community.

Has Airbnb ever considered an offshoot where Airbnb owners can buy properties from other Airbnb owners?

Hey there @Tiffany137, as this is a global forum you may have better luck reaching out to hosts local to your area through the Local Hosts Club. You can share your experiences, exchange valuable knowledge and get advice. Here's the link where you can join: https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Local-Host-Clubs/ct-p/en_clubs

I hope this helps! 😊

Hello @Tiffany137 

You can't sell your listing on Airbnb as a going business concern. You sell the property and then the new owner will need to set up their own listing.

Speak to the estate agent you are using for their advice on how to market it as a property suitable for short term rentals.

As you are putting your house on the market you can block out your calendar so you aren't taking bookings more than three months in advance to avoid taking bookings that you cannot honour.
