AirBNB Transfer of Bookings

[Sarah Beilke]

Hello!

For those of you that have sold a property that you were using as a short term rental, how did you transfer your AirBNB or VRBO bookings to the new owners?  I called AirBNB and being told that the current owners would have to cancel the booking and have the guests re-book with the new owners?  That seems like a good way to lose some bookings to me.  Was thinking maybe the current owners could add the new ones as a co-host and change the payout info to the new owners account?

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
