Common Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before Partnering With Us
We believe informed owners make confident partners. Here are the questions we hear most.
What are your management fees?
We charge a straightforward percentage of gross rental revenue — no hidden setup costs, no monthly retainers, and no fees during vacant periods. Your dedicated account manager will confirm the exact rate for your property during your free consultation, as it reflects your property's location, size, and earning potential.Is there a long-term contract?
We offer flexible agreement terms because we believe our results should earn your continued trust — not a contract. Most owners choose to stay with us long-term, but you are never locked in against your wishes.What types of properties do you manage?
We work with a curated portfolio of premium and luxury residential properties — apartments, villas, townhouses, and waterfront homes. Properties must meet our quality standards, which our team assesses during the initial consultation at no cost to you.How will I track my property's performance?
Every owner receives access to a real-time dashboard showing occupancy rates, nightly rates, booking history, and monthly earnings. You also receive a detailed monthly statement delivered directly to your inbox.How quickly can my property go live?
From signed agreement to live listing, our onboarding process typically takes 5-7 business days. This includes professional photography, listing creation, pricing setup, and platform distribution. Most properties receive their first booking within two weeks of going live.What happens if a guest causes damage?
All bookings are covered by platform damage protection policies, and we conduct pre- and post-stay property inspections as standard. Any damage claims are handled entirely by our team — you are notified, never burdened.
