Questions to ask before signing
Give each manager the same property address, rental calendar, expected booking revenue and owner-use dates. Ask each provider to answer in writing.
- Fees. Ask whether the fee applies to nightly revenue, gross bookings or net platform payout. Confirm how taxes, cleaning charges, discounts and refunds affect the calculation.
- Extras. Ask who pays for listing setup, photography, cleaning, supplies, channel fees and maintenance. Confirm who handles guest emergencies and permit paperwork.
- Contract terms. Ask about the initial term, notice and exit charges. Confirm who controls the listings, payout account and future reservations if you leave.
Use the same booking revenue and number of turnovers for both quotes. List setup costs separately from recurring charges.
