What we handle

Everything between you and your guest.

One contact. One operator. The whole short-term rental operation, running on software built for it.

More revenue

Daily dynamic pricing, listing optimisation, multi-channel distribution. We capture peak weeks at peak rates.

Less hassle

Guest messaging, reviews, AirCover claims, monthly reports. You hear from us when something needs you, not before.

Real numbers

A live owner portal with revenue, occupancy, bookings, and reviews. Monthly briefs by the 5th. No PDFs to chase.

How it starts

One message. We take it from there.

WhatsApp or email Etienne with the basics: where the property is, how many bedrooms, whether it's already on Airbnb. Within a day or two you'll have a Revenue Report tailored to your property with realistic year-one and year-two numbers and exactly what we'd do. No phone calls, no slide decks, no pressure. If it makes sense, we move forward. If not, you keep the report.

Typical timeline

From first message to first booking, in about four weeks.

Most owners follow the same rhythm. We build to it on purpose so nothing slips between weeks.

  1. Day 0

    You message us

    WhatsApp or email Etienne with where the property is, how many bedrooms, and whether it's already on Airbnb. Two-line message is plenty.

  2. Day 1 to 2

    Revenue Report in your inbox

    A custom year-one and year-two projection for your specific property, with realistic brackets and a clear pricing tier. Read it on your own time. No call required.

  3. Day 3 to 7

    Decision and contract

    If the numbers make sense, we go through the contract on a quick call or over WhatsApp. Otherwise you keep the report and we part on good terms.

  4. Day 7 to 10

    Photography and listing build

    Our photographer comes out, we write the listing copy in English and French, set up Airbnb and Booking.com, plug in dynamic pricing. Included in the contract.

  5. Day 14

    Live on Airbnb and Booking.com

    Property goes online across both channels. From this point, every guest message, every payout, every review goes through us.

  6. Day 30

    First booking on the calendar

    Most new listings convert within the first month. Dec to Feb and August launches typically book even faster.

  7. Day 90

    Full seasonal pricing dialled in

    By month three we have enough booking data to fine-tune peak-week rates, last-minute discounts, and minimum-stay rules. Revenue compounds from here.

Already on Airbnb? Skip the photography step if your photos are recent. Most existing-listing takeovers are live within 5 days.

Questions owners ask

Short answers. Long ones over WhatsApp.

How much does it cost?

Two options. A flat monthly fee starting at Rs 4,000 for a 1-bedroom, or a percentage of net revenue (7%) with no monthly invoice. Same service either way. We talk through which one fits before any commitment.

How long is the contract?

12 months, with a 30-day Pause Bank built in for renovations or personal stays. Owners signing in 2026 lock their rate for 5 years. No early-termination penalty if you sell the property.

What about my cleaner / on-site team?

Your call. If you have your own, we work with them. If not, we introduce you to Blue Zebra, our preferred independent operations partner. They invoice you directly at 13 to 15% of gross. We never bundle their fee into ours.

What if I want to use the property myself?

The Pause Bank gives you 30 fee-free days per contract year (45 if you prepay annually). Block the dates in the owner portal, the calendar goes off-market, you stay free.

What if I'm already on Airbnb?

Most owners we work with are. We take over the existing listing, optimise the photos and copy where it helps, plug in dynamic pricing, and start running it. Your reviews and Superhost status carry over.

How quickly can you launch a new property?

14 days to live on Airbnb and Booking.com from contract signing, in most cases. Photography, listing creation, channel setup, and pricing are included in the launch (no separate invoice).

What if you can't find guests?

On the flat-fee plan, the lower-bracket projection in your Revenue Report is the conservative floor. If actual year-one revenue lands below it under standard management, we credit one month of fees. On the percentage plan, no bookings means no fee, so the question doesn't apply.

Who actually runs the account day to day?

Etienne. The founder. Every owner email, every contract, every monthly brief. Not a call centre, not an account manager rotation.
