Cleaning & Maintenance Fees in Remote Market
Hello -
I have just one listing with hopefully another being added next month. They are in a remote town in Maine. I currently use Vacasa and am moving away from that to manage myself. I am in Texas. I found people I trust in the area that would like to take on Housekeeping and respond to the rentals if there is a need I cant handle over the phone.
Questions:
Agreeing on rates for a small 3/1 for Housekeeping and Trash Removal seems pretty straightforward, Assume it's around $100 per turnover, does that sound in the ballpark? That is what Vacasa charges my guests now.
Is it more common to provide cleaning supplies or ask for that to be included in the quote?
Do you offer bonuses for 5 Star reviews? For Example: Each quarter of 5 Stars for cleaning I will pay a $200 bonus?
How do you set up an agreement for someone to respond to a rental for minor maintenance? One fee per response, Hourly Rate?
Appreciate any help you can give...I look forward to the day I can pay it forward.
