Terminating a VRBO and Airbnb property manager

[Jonathan Krauser]

I have a friend who has been using a real estate agent to manage his property with VRBO and Airbnb. They are unhappy with their agent and want to switch to another one. Unfortunately for the owners, the real estate agent created the VRBO and Airbnb accounts under his name and now will not release those accounts. Is there a way for the property owners to get those accounts transferred, or are they stuck with that real estate agent forever?  Any insight would be appreciated.

@Jonathan Krauser I have been through a similiar situation. The reviews are tied to the agent because he or she is the person that provided the service. The agent will need to close the property down in their software and your friend will need to create a new listings.
