New Listing without reviews

[Joe Whitley]

I have recently signed up a new property manager for my short term rental in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. With a new PM I’ve lost my excellent review history. How do I overcome this problem since reviews seem to be very important for bookings?

It is always a bit difficult to get going in the beginning. I would recommend a bit more competitive pricing and really giving those first few guests an amazing experience (extra goodie bags, hand written notes etc)

As a local cohost, I actually require all my owner's to create their own account and add me as a cohost. They retain all the Airbnb reviews even if they ever transition away from me. I urge all other owners to try to find someone else who will do the same!! reviews are valuable.
