Provider comparison

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.

Owner help

Local information for Scottsdale

Send neighbor notices after licensing

Scottsdale requires a license for each property. The City says to notify specified neighbors within 30 days of receiving the license and whenever the property's contact information changes. For a multifamily building, its guidance specifies units on the same floor.

Ask your manager: Who keeps copies of the notices and sends a replacement when the emergency contact changes?

Check liability coverage across booking channels

Scottsdale’s owner guidance calls for at least $500,000 in liability coverage. It allows coverage directly or through an online lodging marketplace.

Ask your manager: Can you show which coverage applies to each channel and what applies to direct bookings?
