This is our guide to effectively managing your short-let!
Listing
Before you can begin welcoming guests into your property, you must be able to be found! You should set up your property on as many credible listing sites as possible (Airbnb, Vrbo, Expedia, Booking.com, etc.) Create engaging copy that describes your property and entices guests, and take high-quality pictures to upload.
Hosting/guest management
Once you have listed your property and started to receive bookings, guests will need to contact you if they have questions about their stay. They will then need information to check into the property. They may need assistance during their stay when it comes to using the property or navigating the local area. Guest management is vitally important to successfully running your short-let, and in generating revenue through repeat bookings, and positive reviews that bring in more guests.
Cleaning
This is one of the most important aspects of short-let management. Guests frequently put cleanliness as one of their highest priorities when looking for a place to stay, and an unclean unit can turn even the most amazing stay into a nightmare. Make sure that your property is thoroughly cleaned between every single guest check-out.
Maintenance
Things go wrong; it is a fact of life. It is important to have people on hand to fix any issues in your short-let property, from fixing leaks to replacing boilers to painting over scratches in the wall.
