Airbnb Management Fees
For all you Airbnb investors/managers....
What is industry standard for Airbnb management fees? Would love to hear from you as a host, or you as an investor paying someone to manage/paying yourself to manage?
Thank you in advance :)

I own a management company, and we charge 20% - 25%. We make more money for our clients than we charge them. Meaning most our clients saw an overall 25% + spike in revenue after we started to manage their unit. That is why we are busier than we can handle. last year we were managing 6 units, now we are managing 34 units. When a professional is running the pricing, the schedule, and the guest services, you would be shocked to see how much 1 unit can actually make. All of the part time, or one-off STR owners just don't have the same experience to achieve actually optimized STR results. I have hosted 1500 check-ins on my Airbnb account in the last 3 years, and have learned a lot. I can't wait to see what I can learn on the next 1500 check-ins!
