How much does a co host get paid?

Hi,

 

My husband and i have a listing but we are going to be very bussy in the future months and we were thinking in getting someone to co host our place while we are busy or out of town?

Our question is;

 

How much does a co host gets paid? 

 

 

Thanks in advance !

That's up to you and your co-host to decide, and depends upon how much work they are doing for you.  Rates seem to vary from 7% - 50%.
Questions to discuss:
Are they handling all the bookings, replies, emails, etc for you?
Are they handling the cleaning?  What about simple maintenance?

Are they on-call for the guests?

 

You can pay your co-host a straight percentage and keep the cleaning fee (if you charge one), or give them the clening fee and a (usually lower) percentage of the booking fee.

 

We pay our co-host a straight 40% (his preference) and we keep the cleaning fee to offset that cost.  He handles all the cleaning, bookings, emails, phone calls, everything except paying the taxes, etc., which we obviously have to take care of. 

 

Hope that helps.

Hi!  I am looking for a co-host in the Wilmington NC area.  Anyone co-host or have a recommendation?

It all depends on how much the Co Host does for you. My Co Host is my husband. He takes care of the utility bills, and taxes. He gets 15% from me. Our Airbnb is booked 2/3 of the year. 

Hi Kathleen,

 

This reply may be a bit mis-timed considering Hurricane Florence, but I at least wanted to make sure that I was on your radar.

 

I'm managed and co-hosted an airbnb in the Florida Keys (Islamorada), and 3 villas/apartments in Italy. My experienced included greeting guests and making sure they were comfortable, changeover, cleaning, supply management and overall hospitality. While co-hosting the apartment in Pisa, Italy, the property went from guests not leaving replies to superhost status.

 

I'd love to talk to you more about your opportunity. I'm currently in Raleigh and my base will be in Wilmington.

 

Thanks for the consideration!

Hey Kathleen,

 

I’m Brittney Hayes and I currently rent out four rooms at my house and I’m a co-host for two other properties. I was wondering if you are still looking for a co-host for your downtown property in Wilmington, NC. If so, please contact me if you still need help.

 

Thank you.

Not sure if it’s considered co hosting but I made an arrangement with a friend to come in an hour before the next guest arrives when I’m at work to do quality control and I pay her $25 30-40 mins work to make sure the cleaner followed our checklist.

Hi, I'm looking for a cohost for my 4 bedroom condo in Murells Inlet South Carolina! I was going to use Turnkey but I read some horror stories here on the forum so I need to do a little more research it seems.

Hello, I came across your post and was wondering if you was still looking for a co-host?
