There once was a time when the only way to stay in Las Vegas was in one of the glitzy hotels. These days a lot of people are choosing to stay in an Airbnb, with a huge range of different options in Las Vegas – everything from unassuming, homely rentals to stunning penthouses overlooking The Strip. The problem for Airbnb hosts, especially anyone with multiple properties, is letting them out on a short term basis can take a lot of time and work. Luckily there are short term rental management companies on hand to help. Airbnb property management means that everything is done for you, including cleaning, maintenance and checking in guests. It’s worth remembering that quality management companies will also put your property on VRBO.com and Booking.com for a better outreach.
5-star STR
5-star STR is a boutique vacation rental management company that lives up to its name. The company takes care of everything, including visiting your property to assess its appeal and USP, optimising the Airbnb listing with pricing tools, implementing property management systems, cleaning management, onboarding it, and even meeting you monthly with an income report – it’s an all-encompassing service. The company is so confident in its service in fact that if they don’t get a five-star review, they don’t charge their clients. 5-star STR says it only charges one low, flat-rate too, dependent on the type of hosting and management you need. You may even get a discount if you have a number of properties you would like the company to manage.
