Hi There
My family and I are moving to Asia for a few months to possibly years and we have 2 properties that we want to turn into air bnbs but want to partner with someone to manage them as we won't be around
1 unit is in Sandton directly across from Sandton City and the other one in Northcliff Randburg
We are looking for someone who is reliable and centrally located to take care of the management of these units.
Please reply or contact us on **** to setup a meeting to discuss
Kind Regards

Hi @Helen3 , thank you for sharing your perspective, you make some excellent points.'
Local presence is definitely valuable for certain hands-on situations, especially in areas where guest behavior can be unpredictable or maintenance needs frequent attention. That said, many hosts today, particularly those with boutique units or well-prepared propertiesm are successfully running high-performing listings using a hybrid approach.
We work closely with a trusted on-the-ground team that handles inspections, cleanings, and urgent repairs, while I manage guest communications, pricing strategies, reviews, and performance analytics remotely. For clients who travel often or are based abroad, this has proven to be a scalable and effective solution, especially when properties are set up with smart locks, sensors, and clear SOPs for local support teams.
Hi @Jeremy1191 😊,
Thank you so much for asking this question here!
When did you start hosting?
If you're looking for a Co-host, did you take a look at this link? How to find and become an experienced Co-Host on Airbnb?
Let me know how it goes!
Warm regards 🌻,

Sure! Here’s a warm and professional reply you can send:
Hi there @Jeremy1191
I'm an experienced co-host and AI-powered SEO specialist, and I’d love to explore how I can help manage your units while you're abroad.
With the right systems in place, including self-check-in tools, guest communication support, dynamic pricing strategies, and a trusted local cleaning team, managing remotely is absolutely doable. I'd be happy to chat. Feel free to DM me.
Sorry I disagree with you completely @Chippy3 whatever systems you put in place remotely you will never be able to provide the same quality of service cohosting remotely that a local experienced cohost will be able to provide.
how will you be able to sort out problem guests who party ? What connections will you have with local tradespeople? How will you be able to inspect a property if guests claim something isn't working? How will you carry out regular maintenance checks? To give a few examples.
@Jeremy1191 please join your local host group and ask for recommendations for experienced local cohosts with great reviews and ratings/use the Airbnb cohost database .
