Perhaps, hiring a local co-host (or even a boutique manager) who is passionate about your property’s brand might be the sweet spot.PS: One interesting fact—Evolve’s 10% fee often excludes local vendor costs like cleaning, which can add up to an additional 10-15% of revenue.

I started with 3 2-family properties, then STR, almost bought a boutique motel, now back to good ol long term holds.

I recommend going with a boutique local manager or even self-manage (it's not as intimidating as it may seem, and profit levels skyrocket).

In my area it's a mix of boutique local commercial shops and the big national players. 

Boutique brokers can work nation wide also. 

Hi Ember, my company manages 5 stars Boutique vacation rentals in Fort Lauderdale.

The building has been passed over by many people due to the layout, but I have a creative and viable solution (boutique hostel/hotel hybrid in well-established and overpriced tourist destination). 

I have built my boutique broker business around foreclosures and other distressed properties (probate/divorce).

Are they a massive company or a smaller boutique manager?

You will need to decide if you want a shop that has a lot of training, or if you want a small boutique shop, or even a flat fee brokerage.
