BEFORE YOU BOOK

Questions owners ask.

More answers on the co-hosting page
Do I keep my existing listing?

Yes. Your listing stays in your account, and we join as co-host.

  • Your reviews, history and Superhost status stay with it.
  • Nothing moves to our account, so there’s nothing to move back.
What does it cost?

12–22% of the booking payout, plus $60 per listing per month for software.

  • You get your exact commission on a 30-minute call.
  • If we run your cleaning, you pay the greater of your commission or $350 a month, never both.
  • The $1,000 launch fee is waived once the agreement reaches its first anniversary. If it ends sooner, it drops by 1/12 for every month or part-month it ran.
  • Every other charge is in your agreement, or agreed with you in writing first.
Where do the payouts go?

Your share goes straight from Airbnb to your bank. We don’t hold your rental income.

  • On Airbnb, our commission is split off at payout, plus the cleaning fee if we run your cleaning.
  • On direct bookings and other sites, the guest payout goes to you, less card and channel fees, and we bill you monthly.
Can you help with longer stays?

Yes. We set up short stays, 30-plus-night stays or a mix.

  • Airbnb first. Vrbo, Furnished Finder and other sites if you want them.
  • We’ll suggest a mix for your home and market. You decide.
What if I want to leave?

Give 90 days’ written notice. Either side can end it.

  • Your listing, reviews and payouts were always in your account. They stay with you.
  • Stays that check in after we’re done carry 10% of the payout if booked by the notice date, or by the end date if you run your own cleaning.
  • Ending in the first year? The $1,000 launch fee applies, less 1/12 for every month or part-month it ran. Nothing if we end it on notice, or you end it for cause.
