How it workS
From the discovery call to your first payout — everything you need to know.
Thinking about letting us manage your property?
We always start with a conversation. A 30-minute call, no commitment, to make sure your property is a good fit for short-term rental — and that it's worth it for you. We look at the numbers and scenarios together, with no pressure.
The process, in 5 steps
1
Virtual walkthrough & legal compliance
No in-person visit needed — you walk us through your property via video call on your phone, and submit a set of photos. We confirm local STR zoning and initiate the municipal permit process. Requirements vary by city — we handle the paperwork or guide you through it yourself (quoted at $110/hr).
2
Furnishing & design
We provide furnishing and décor recommendations aligned with our visual standards — modern, warm, and guest-ready. We can also manage the ordering process on your behalf. Physical installation is handled by local contractors of your choice. All costs are yours.
3
PRESENTATION & photography
We provide a photo guideline so you can shoot the space yourself, or we can recommend an affordable photographer in your area. Either way, a polished, well-photographed space gets booked faster and earns better reviews. Photography costs are yours.
4
Listing & launch
We write an optimized listing and publish it on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Google Vacation Rentals, and Expedia. Your property, everywhere it counts.
5
Ongoing management
Cleaning between each stay, check-ins and check-outs, guest messaging, dynamic pricing, repair coordination (we manage the process — costs are yours), and real-time access to your owner dashboard. Payout at the start of the following month via ACH transfer.

REQUIREMENTS & ELIGIBILITY
Is your property a good fit?
Not sure if your property qualifies as-is? We'll go through it together during the discovery call. If modifications are needed, we can provide an assessment quoted at our hourly rate.
Laundry on-site
A washer and dryer on the premises is required — laundry is handled in-unit, with no third-party service.
Owner or renter
Both are accepted. If you're a renter, a lease addendum authorizing subletting is required. Please verify HOA rules if applicable.
Coverage area
We operate across the United States. Contact us to confirm availability and any city-specific requirements for your location.
Reliable Internet
High-speed WiFi is a baseline expectation for modern guests. A stable connection is required before your listing goes live.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions are expected — we're here to help you through every step.
Can I still use my property whenever I want?
Yes. You block the dates you need and reopen bookings when you're ready to rent again. You stay in full control of your calendar.
How long is the management contract?
One year minimum.
What if my property doesn't qualify right away?
No problem — we'll assess what's needed and outline possible modifications. This evaluation is billed at our hourly rate ($110/hr, quoted).
What happens if something goes wrong during a guest's stay?
We coordinate with trusted local specialists — or yours if you prefer. We handle the communication; repair or replacement costs are your responsibility.
When and how do I get paid?
At the start of the following month, once the previous month's accounting is finalized. Payouts are sent via ACH bank transfer.
What fees come on top of the 15%?
Cleaning between stays (deducted from gross revenue, rate depends on property size), OTA platform commissions, and applicable local occupancy or lodging taxes.
Is there a minimum stay requirement?
Yes, a 2-night minimum per booking.
Who pays the lodging/occupancy taxes?
Airbnb collects and remits applicable taxes automatically. For other platforms, we collect and remit on your behalf. We recommend consulting a CPA familiar with Texas STR tax obligations.
Can I track my bookings and revenue in real time?
Yes. You'll have access to your personal Guesty owner dashboard to monitor your numbers at any time.
Do I need to register my property with the city?
STR permit requirements vary by city and state across the US. Some municipalities require a permit and annual renewal; others don't. We'll walk you through what applies to your specific location during the onboarding process.

What our clients are saying
I had a lot of hesitation at first, because handing over your property to someone is a serious thing. But Léa and Benjamin took the time to explain how everything works, and now I get my transfer every month without having to deal with anything. What reassured me most was the transparency around fees — you always know exactly where things stand.
Daniella Canteteau
Chicoutimi, QC
Honestly, I expected more friction in the setup. The process is well-organized, communication is clear, and the numbers are there. I manage nothing, which was the whole point. Only hiccup early on was the permit timeline but that's not on them. I'd recommend.
Clerenjack Gabiou
Chicoutimi, QC
I should have done this way sooner. My place wasn't performing anywhere near its potential for about two years, and then within two months it was live on every platform. The photos look great, the listing is sharp, and I collect my money without checking Airbnb at 11pm. Exactly what I wanted.
