Have you got a property ready to make extra money, but aren’t quite sure how to navigate Airbnb? Or have you got an Airbnb listing that is taking up too much time and effort to run, or not making as much money as you hoped?  A holiday property manager can help.

What is a holiday property management service?

Holiday property managers are a valuable asset for property owners wanting to make money from short leases and holiday stays with their houses, units or even spare rooms.  Holiday property management services like ours are created specifically to make your property management easy, and to help you get the most out of your investment.

The services and packages each holiday property manager offers will vary depending on the company, but in essence, most will take over the day to day running of your property listing and take care of things like bookings, guest relations, cleaning and maintenance for you.

Do I need a holiday property management service?

No, it is not necessary to have a property manager to list your property on places like Airbnb and make money through holiday stays, but when you discover how easy a manager can make it and the skill and experience they have at optimising your listing and increasing your bookings – you'll never look back.

People who utilise our Ford Clancy holiday property management services, for example, can expect to see at least a 25% increase in their bookings, an increase in 5-star ratings and also get to take advantage of our super host status on Airbnb.

What do holiday managers do?

A holiday property manager or Airbnb agent will make your life tremendously easier than managing your property on your own.  They will step in to take care of the details in running a holiday listing and look after things like bookings, guest relations and guest contact, cleaning and maintaining the property.

Every property management package looks different depending on the offerings of that manager.  At Ford Clancy, we have developed a package that utilises all of our skills and expertise in Airbnb management and handling AirBnb listings to take absolutely every task possible off your hands.

We take care of everything, starting with creating or optimising your listing and pricing strategy to make sure you are making the most you can while remaining competitive.  We use our professional team of photographers, writers and our tried and tested styling tips to make your property look irresistible and increase its allure.  We then jump in and take things like guest contact and relations, cleaning, housekeeping and laundry, maintenance and emergency call-outs off your hands.

We go the extra mile to make sure your guests are happy and give you 5-star, rave reviews.  We do up welcome packs and house manuals to make sure they have everything they need.  We can even offer airport transfers and transport to make their stay exceptional.

If you are looking for a holiday property manager, we can promise that our team will make your life owning a holiday property far easier than doing it alone.  We will also take it to new levels of success and help you see higher returns from your hard work acquiring and creating such excellent investment opportunities.

Airbnb is an exciting way to increase your property-based revenue and grow your investment.  If you're considering buying a home for your new Airbnb property, it does, however, come with a lot of behind-the-scenes work.  Managing listings, bookings, guests and cleaning are just some of the tasks that come with having a fully operational Airbnb property.

For many people, this is not what they envisioned when joining Airbnb, and we are here to help.  We understand how hard you have worked for your investment and we are committed to helping make it work for you in every way possible.

By managing your Airbnb property, we take out all the stress, hassle, scheduling, and guest relations work for you.  We make your Airbnb look good, book up and running smoothly.

Some of the benefits you can look forward to with our Airbnb management include:

• 25% or more profit increase over traditional rental arrangements
• Expert listing creation (or optimisation if you already have one) including professional photos
• An increase in 5 star ratings
• Increased occupancy and bookings
• Property inspections after each visit
• Professional cleaning services
• Use of our Airbnb Super Host status
• Your property showcased to stand out from the rest
• Finishing touches that make a difference, from the finest amenities to welcome packs
• Ultimate peace of mind that your investment is in good hands

Wondering how it works?  Here’s what we do:

1. Free Initial consult.
   
   The best place to start is to meet you and see the property with our no obligation site visit.  You get to meet us, ask us questions and see if this is for you.  We will do a review of the property while we are there and show you what packages we can provide you.
   
   
2. Listing Creation/Optimisation
   
   Our first port of call when taking on a property is to either make a new listing or optimise the existing one.  With our experience managing multiple properties and making them a raging success, we have lots of tips and tricks to make your property stand out and attract even more bookings.
   
   One of the key ways we do this is with professional photos and property styling.  60% of a guest’s decision to book a property is based on what they see, so we make sure they see nothing but the best.  We have a great team of professional photographers who will make your property look incredible, and we can offer simple, low-cost tips to take the styling to the next level and attract new guests.
   
   
3. Pricing strategy
   
   As a part of our property review and listing creation, we will help you find the optimum price point for your property.  If you’re not sure how much to charge per night, we can help you find the perfect amount to make sure you get what the property is worth while also remaining competitive.
   
   
4. Property Preparation
   
   We go the extra mile to prepare your property and make the experience of staying with you an excellent one.  We put together a welcome pack that greets your guests on arrival and a house manual specific for your property to help the guests find their way around and understand any extra information they need.
   
   
5. Booking and guest relations
   
   Communication is one of the biggest and most important aspects of Airbnb, especially when reviews and ratings feature so highly in the booking process.  We pull out all the stops to make sure your guests’ experiences with your property are exceptional.  This also means that you won’t be getting phone calls before, during or after a guests stay – we liaison for you and make all the coordination simple.
   
   
6. Cleaning and Housekeeping
   
   We take care of all the cleaning before and after guests stay at your property.  Our team of professional housekeepers will make your property look amazing, and know all the additional cleaning protocols required for COVID-19 to give you and your guests peace of mind.  Our services include linen and amenities – our team will clean and look after things like bed sheets, towels, toiletries, and washing liquids at your property between stays.
   
   
7. Maintenance Coordination
   
   We have a great team of tradies on hand to take care of any maintenance at your property.  With your approval, we can coordinate all the tasks involved with the upkeep and maintenance of your property.
   
   
8. Emergency Call Outs
   
   Our team are ready with 24hr support to your guests, so you can rest easy knowing you won’t get a 5am wakeup call from a guest asking questions or needing urgent help.

Our Airbnb management packages are designed with you, the property owner, in mind.  We are here to take all the juggling, coordinating, managing, booking, scheduling and cleaning out of running your Airbnb property.

Our team of friendly professionals will make your guests feel at home, ensure that they have an amazing stay, and make the entire process one that is simple and hassle-free for you.
