Raleigh Airbnb co host
I help owners manage their Short-Term Rentals. Right now, I manage 25 properties at Lake Gaston, 3 in Raleigh, and 2 in Banner Elk and 2 on the Beach.
Here’s a little about me:
I started hosting my own home on Airbnb and VRBO in 2020. It went really well—so well that a friend asked me to manage their property. In one year, I grew their revenue by 46%! After that, I got referrals from other owners, and now this is my full-time business.
Here’s what I do:
- I stay overnight in every house I manage to get to know it.
- I create a shared Google Doc to keep owners updated.
- I stay in close contact with owners about any issues.
- I have a team for cleaning and maintenance.
- I’m a member of the NC Airbnb Policy team.
- I’m part of 6 Facebook groups and a mastermind group.
- I’ve completed 12 hours of training in dynamic pricing.
- I track and update all listings regularly.
One unique thing I do is set up Airbnb and VRBO listings in the owner’s name. That means the payouts go directly to you, and if you ever end our agreement, you’ll keep the listing and all the reviews.
My background is in SEO (Search Engine Optimization), where I learned how to rank websites high on search engines. I use those same skills to make sure my properties rank well on Airbnb and VRBO. I keep the listings updated, use rank-tracking tools, and apply dynamic pricing to get great results. I also optimize listings with the right keywords to attract more bookings.
My team and I work closely with property owners to help them succeed!
