FAQs

Who handles pricing the property?

We handle pricing the property, with daily optimizations. This means that every day an algorithm and an analyst checks your property to see if you can charge more or less to increase revenue and occupancy. In some cases, even a $5 price change can result in a substantial number of additional booked days.

Who handles listing the property?

Listing the property isn’t as simple as snapping a few photos with your phone and uploading them to the site. Besides optimizing the description, our team selects the best photos to feature first, which varies by property and sometimes even by season for a single property. This optimization process is key to making sure your property appears first and gets booked most frequently on any booking platform.

What areas does Awning property management cover?

Nationwide. Our coverage is not limited to any specific area or market.

How much is vacation rental property management with Awning?

Awning charges an industry low 15% for property management. By comparison most property managers in this space offering full-service management charge between 20% and 25%. Some limited property managers may charge slightly less, but those managers don’t cover things like repairs and responding to unexpected calls from guests 24 hours a day.

What if I just manage the property myself?

It’s not a matter of possibility, it’s just good risk management to let professionals handle the management. As an owner, you don’t want to be on call for any little thing any time of the night. You want to avoid risking any bad ratings, which could tank your property and therefore your revenue. For the price of property management, the peace of mind is well worth it.

Ownership, without the hassle.

Starting a rental portfolio should be as pain-free as investing in the market. That’s why we are here.
