THE PROCESS, PLAINLY EXPLAINED
How Atlanta Short-Term Rental Management Works — Start to Payout
From your first conversation to your first deposit — here's exactly how our process works, with no jargon and no surprises.
Five steps
Onboarding to ongoing — the complete journey.
We've designed every stage to be low-friction for you and high-performing for your home. Most owners tell us they're surprised by how little they have to think about it after setup.

Request your free rental projection
Tell us a little about your property — address, bedrooms, bathrooms, and goals. We pull real comparable rental data from your specific Atlanta neighborhood and send you a custom, honest projection within one business day. Built by a real person, not an algorithm. No cost. No commitment.

We have a quick fit conversation
Once you've seen the projection, we'll have a short call to walk through the numbers, answer your questions, and make sure we're the right fit. We only take on homes we genuinely believe we can perform for — this call is low-pressure and designed to give you confidence, not close you.

Professional setup — we handle everything
Professional photography, listing copywriting, pricing strategy setup, and a comprehensive property readiness review. We configure your listing across Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and more — optimized for Atlanta search and designed to convert. Most homes are live and taking bookings within two weeks of signing.

Your home, your rules
Full control. Zero day-to-day work.

- You approve major decisions about the property

- Exit whenever you want — no penalties, no lock-in
Owner reassurance, in plain terms.
On contract terms: No long-term contracts. We earn your business every month. If you ever want to stop, you can.
On our fee: 10% of booking revenue, of booking revenue — all-inclusive, with no hidden fees. You see the number before anything is signed. We only earn when you earn.
On performance: We stand behind our work with a 6-month happiness guarantee. If we fall short of expectations, we make it right — no hoops to jump through.
On access: It's your property. You can block dates, visit anytime, and reach us directly — not through a phone tree.
Common questions
Questions we hear from owners considering us.
How long does it take to get my home live and earning?
Most properties are listed and taking bookings within two weeks of signing. That includes the photography session, listing creation, and platform setup. Properties that already have some photos or are partially listed can go live even faster.
Do I need to do anything to prepare my home?
We do a readiness review as part of onboarding and walk you through any recommendations — things like guest essentials, basic safety items, and a few quick touches that meaningfully improve reviews. Nothing elaborate. We'll tell you what matters and what doesn't.
Can I use my home whenever I want?
Yes. It's your property. Block any dates — you don't need to give advance notice or explain your plans. Your calendar is fully under your control at all times.
How does cleaning work between stays?
We coordinate vetted local cleaning professionals with a detailed turnover checklist for every stay. Fresh linens, restocked essentials, and a quality check before the next guest arrives. Cleaning is scheduled and confirmed automatically — you're never chasing anyone down.
What if something breaks or needs maintenance?
We handle it. We have trusted local vendors for plumbing, HVAC, appliances, and general repairs. For anything above a pre-agreed threshold, we'll contact you. For urgent issues that affect a guest's stay, we act first and keep you in the loop — no waiting days for approvals while a guest has a broken dishwasher.
How do you handle difficult guests or damage?
We screen guests carefully before every booking, enforce your house rules, and act quickly if something goes wrong. Airbnb's AirCover and Vrbo's host guarantee cover most damage scenarios. For anything that isn't covered, we work with you directly to resolve it.
How do I know how my property is performing?
Monthly statements with full detail: bookings, revenue, our fee, and your net payout. We also track your review ratings and occupancy trends. No mystery, no guesswork — you have a clear picture of performance at all times.
