Hello Everyone,

I recently listed my Airbnb listing and finally decided to move out of Evolve.

The listing is fairly ready, but I had a question on "choose who to welcome for your first reservation"
there are two options 

1. Anyone on Airbnb
2. An experienced guest(This i learnt to be someone who is verified by airbnb)

I have selected as an experienced guest, but that also means I will be discouraging a lot of other guests who are yet to be verified.

what is your take on this, and is it a good idea to just have anyone on Airbnb book it?

regards,
Patil

Quote from @Michael Baum:

Hey @Shankar Patil. So you need to know that Evolve owns your listings and photos. When you leave them, you don't get any of that. You will have to create a new listing with new photos. So just be prepared for that.

Why not manage the property yourself? You have already done the hard part with cleaners etc. Managing the listing is the easy part.


 Thank of Michael.

That makes perfect sense, I will get the photos taken soon. 
For now, I am coordinating with the cleaners for every booking and have vetted them out. If it is easy to manage the listing, I can give that a shot.

There will always be a choice to go back anytime. my only concern was we will hit the peak season in June for beach goers and want to make decision anytime this month.

warm regards,
Patil

Hi,

I am pretty new to STR, I closed the property in Jan and got everything set up and currently using Evolve, while they are good they are still half-service only.

I am looking for someone local who does property management for STR and does full service.

I have not explored doing it myself, but if it is a better bet I would love to explore that as well.

Any recommendations or pointers in the right direction are highly appreciated.

warm regards,
Patil
