Managing someone elses property

I have my own Airbnb listing that is very successful.  I  have been asked to manage a friends apartment.

Where I would do all communciation, meet and greet.  Manage the cleaners, arrange clean linen, purchase Tea, Coffee, soap etc.

 I would get paid a commission percentage of the tarif.  

What is the best way to do this, so it is seperate from my listing.

 

Hope some one can help me.

In our case, I had the owner join Airbnb and invite me to co host. We are new to co hosting but we bill the owner monthly for things like cleaning services, repairs etc and receive 15% of the rental fee at that time. Once we were included it showed up on my listing page, so that I could make site changes,such as photos etc. We also see the communication from prospective guests and deal with that for the owner. So the short answer is no we did not create a new listing.

Does anyone know if there's a limit to the number of properties you can be set up as a co-host for? I'm currently a co-host on my husbands listing but a few friends and family are looking for me to help with their listings too and co-hosting seems like the most logical way. Just not sure if there's a limit to how many people you can co-host for?

Any advice would be fab!! Thanks 🙂

I'm a full-time working professional in London but work from home so have used the opportunity to become a PM around the city to meet new people and learn new areas. 

 

If anyone knows of anyone who might be in need of a trustworthy and dedicated PM send them my way 🙂

Hi guys,

Could I have your opinion and help please. I have been asked to manage someone else's property but on my airbnb account and not theirs. They want for me to list their apartment on my account, but then pass on any messages to them and they will communicate directly with the guests.

 

They will give me a 20% cut for this and the apartment looks quite luxurious. How can I be sure that this isn't a scam? I don't want any trouble with my account. 

 Hello – my first question would be WHY they want this, instead of just giving you access to their account…

Hey Guys.

How would one go about starting to manage properties through Airbnb as our family members are heading overseas for a few years and want us to Manage them. 
Where to start information would be greatly appreciated.

- marketing?

- website?
- hosting with airbnb?
- cleaning / daily activities

Or any other relevant information needed that you may think we would find useful

Regards

Tyrone

Hi, I am looking to join the air bnb manage someone else's property conversation.

I am in Punta Cana and anybody that is interested in contacting a responsible reliable manager please feel free to do so.


  

 

Hi, as far as what to charge/include for managing someone else's property goes - you can look at this as an example, a new Airbnb management service that’s active in the Chicago area  –Flat 25% service fee for completely managing your Airbnb, and they do “optimized pricing” as an add on too…. if you live in a larger metro area maybe something to try.

Use Airbnb's co-host function on this website or see if there is a group of local hosts in your area and post there to see if there is interest after you first identify what support you want.
