New owner taking over existing str airbnb- do I have to start from scratch?
Hi all, my husband and I are purchasing a property that has an existing Airbnb listing. It's an adu with over 130 5-star reviews. I called Airbnb to see what the process is for taking over an existing listing and was told that the current owners have to Un-list the unit and then we will Re-list the unit and unfortunately start from scratch with all reviews/ratings. Is there any recommendations for how to keep any of the history / reviews and just let people know that it's the same great unit, just new owners - or do we truly start from scratch and lose all the wonderful reviews and ratings? Any suggestions?
Thank you! 😊
