Short Term Rental Management
Our comprehensive short-term management services include professional listing creation with photography, dynamic pricing optimization, 24/7 guest communication and support, cleaning coordination, maintenance management, supply restocking, utility management, and multi-platform marketing across Booking.com, Airbnb, VRBO, and other major platforms. We handle every aspect of running a successful vacation rental, from creating compelling listings to coordinating cleanings between stays and managing guest experiences.
Â
Our dynamic pricing tools constantly monitor local events, seasonal demand, and competitor rates to maximize your revenue. We adjust rates daily, ensuring you capture premium prices during high-demand periods while maintaining competitive rates to minimize vacancies. This strategic approach typically increases annual revenue by 20-40% compared to static pricing, optimizing your income throughout changing market conditions.
We provide round-the-clock guest support, handling inquiries, solving problems, and ensuring five-star experiences. Our team manages all aspects of guest communication—from booking questions to check-in instructions and local recommendations. This consistent communication builds trust and encourages positive reviews that boost future bookings. Guests receive immediate responses regardless of when they contact us, creating seamless experiences that lead to excellent reviews.
Short-term rentals typically generate 2-3 times more revenue than long-term rentals while offering flexibility to use your property personally when desired. Additional benefits include tax advantages through deductible expenses and depreciation, property appreciation while generating immediate cash flow, and diversified income from multiple short stays versus relying on one tenant, making vacation rentals an attractive investment strategy.
Most vacation rental management companies charge between 20-35% of rental revenue as management fees, covering listing management, guest communication, and service coordination. Some companies add separate charges for cleaning or maintenance, while others include everything in one percentage. The investment in professional management typically pays for itself through increased bookings and higher nightly rates that maximize your overall return.

We handle every aspect of the landlord-tenant relationship, providing you with passive income without the daily headaches of property ownership.
Â
Our rigorous screening process includes comprehensive background checks, credit history reviews, employment verification, and rental references. We don’t just find any tenant—we find reliable ones who treat your property with respect. Our leasing experts handle all paperwork, ensuring legally sound agreements that protect your interests. This thorough vetting dramatically reduces the risk of problem tenants.
Â
We operate a 24/7 maintenance request system allowing tenants to report issues anytime, with our network of trusted, licensed contractors addressing them promptly at competitive rates. We conduct routine inspections to identify potential problems before they escalate, saving you money through preventative maintenance. This proactive approach extends your property’s lifespan while keeping tenants satisfied, leading to higher retention rates.
Professional management delivers significant advantages including time savings, reduced stress from eliminating middle-of-night emergency calls, legal protection through compliance with rental regulations, better tenants through professional screening, improved profitability via strategic pricing, and preservation of property value through regular maintenance. Our extensive experience helps you avoid common landlord mistakes while transforming your property into a truly passive income stream.

For multi-property clients, we offer tiered pricing with volume discounts. Contact us for a customized quote based on your specific needs.
Property Staging & Setup Services
Professional staging helps properties sell faster and for higher prices—staged homes spend 73% less time on the market and typically sell for 5-15% more than unstaged properties. Staging highlights architectural features, creates visual flow, and establishes purpose for each room, helping buyers connect emotionally with your property. This strategic marketing tool maximizes your investment return by showcasing your home’s full potential.
Â
Our comprehensive staging begins with a detailed assessment of your property’s strengths and improvement areas. Our designers then select furniture, artwork, and decor that complement your home’s architecture and appeal to target buyers. We enhance curb appeal, create emotional connections through thoughtful design elements, and transform ordinary spaces into stunning showcases. For vacation rentals, we also provide supply stocking with quality linens and essentials.
After an initial consultation, our team can typically complete the staging process within 1-2 days, minimizing disruption to your life while maximizing your home’s market potential. We recommend scheduling property preparation 2-3 weeks before listing to allow time for assessment, implementation of design elements, professional photography, and any minor repairs or touch-ups needed to ensure your property debuts looking its absolute best.
Â
Yes, once your property is perfectly staged, our professional photographers capture its beauty with high-quality images that make your listing stand out online. We also offer drone photography to showcase your property’s exterior and surrounding area from stunning aerial perspectives. This powerful combination of professional staging and photography attracts more potential buyers to your listing and creates an emotional connection before they even visit.
Essential staging tips include decluttering aggressively—remove at least 30% of belongings to make spaces feel larger; creating neutral, bright spaces by removing personal items; focusing on kitchens and bathrooms as they greatly influence buying decisions; enhancing lighting throughout with layered fixtures and maximum natural light; and creating conversation areas in living spaces to help buyers visualize entertaining in the home.
Property Manager Services
Our property managers handle tenant placement, comprehensive applicant screening, bill payment coordination, lease preparation and addendum creation, rent collection, financial reporting, maintenance coordination, emergency response, property inspections, regulatory compliance, and eviction filings when necessary. We transform your property burden into a hands-off income stream by creating systems that maximize rental income while protecting your investment’s long-term value.
We handle tenant issues through proactive communication and clear lease agreements that outline responsibilities. For maintenance requests, our 24/7 system ensures prompt responses. When conflicts arise, we mediate professionally based on lease terms and Florida landlord-tenant laws. While we work to avoid evictions through careful screening and communication, we handle the entire legal process when necessary, protecting you from costly mistakes.
We expertly manage diverse property types throughout South Florida, including single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, and multi-unit buildings. We provide specialized management for both short-term vacation rentals and long-term residential properties, with tailored approaches for each. Our team has experience with beachfront properties, suburban homes, and everything in between, adapting our high-quality management standards to each property’s unique needs.
Most properties can begin under our management within 7-14 days of signing a contract. This includes evaluation, photography, listing creation, and marketing launch. If you already have tenants, the transition is even smoother—we’ll coordinate lease transfers and introduce ourselves professionally. Our team works efficiently to minimize any income gaps during onboarding and can quickly implement our management systems for your property.
While management services typically cost 8-10% for long-term and 20-30% for vacation rentals, professional management often increases net profits through better tenant retention, fewer vacancies, and strategic pricing. When you calculate the hours saved managing properties yourself, plus costly mistakes avoided through professional expertise, most investors find the value far exceeds the fees. Our management transforms your properties into truly passive income generators.
