Time and availability

Managing a short stay rental property takes time and attention. Consider whether you have the availability to handle tasks such as communicating with guests, managing bookings, check-ins and checkouts, cleaning and maintenance, marketing and dealing with any problems that may arise. If you have limited time or live far from the property, hiring a property management company can help alleviate these responsibilities.

Expertise and experience

Property management companies specialise in managing short stay rental properties and have the expertise and experience to handle various aspects of property management effectively. They have knowledge of local regulations, market trends, pricing strategies and marketing techniques. If you lack experience in property management or prefer to rely on professionals, hiring a property management company can be beneficial.

Property maintenance and cleaning

Maintaining the cleanliness and upkeep of your property is critical to guest satisfaction. Property management companies can handle tasks such as regular cleaning, maintenance repairs and ensuring the property is in optimal condition for each guest’s arrival. If you can’t or don’t want to handle these responsibilities yourself, hiring a property management company can ensure that your property is well maintained.

Guest communication and support

Effective guest communication is essential to a positive guest experience. Property management companies can handle guest enquiries, booking requests and provide 24/7 support to guests during their stay. If you prefer to have professionals handle guest communication and support, a property management company can be a valuable asset.

Local knowledge and networks

Property management companies often have local networks and connections that can benefit your short stay rental property. They may have established relationships with local service providers, such as cleaning crews, maintenance technicians and contractors, which can streamline the management process. They can also keep up to date with local regulations and ensure compliance.

Cost

There is a cost to using a property management company. They typically charge a percentage of rental income or a fixed fee for their services. Consider your budget and weigh the cost against the time and effort saved by outsourcing property management tasks.

Personal preference

Some owners prefer to have direct control over all aspects of their short term rental property. If you enjoy being hands-on and have the time and expertise to manage the property effectively, you may prefer to do everything yourself. On the other hand, if you prefer a more hands-off approach or have other commitments that limit your availability, hiring a property management company that specialises in short stay rentals, can provide peace of mind.

To hire or not

Ultimately, the decision to hire a property management company or manage the property yourself depends on your individual circumstances and priorities. Assess your time, skills, availability and preferences, and consider the potential benefits and costs of each option before making a decision.
