The fee you were quoted is not always the fee you pay.

Most managers calculate their cut from the total booking amount, including the cleaning fee that goes straight to the cleaner. We calculate ours on what actually lands in your account.

What actually reaches you
You keep


Two plans. The difference is which half of the job you keep.

Co-Host takes the online half. Full Service takes all of it. You can move between them in either direction and it does not cost anything to change.

Full pricing, including what typical managers charge

Why owners in this region choose us.

Billed on your payout, not gross bookings
Most managers take their cut from the total booking amount, including the cleaning fee that goes straight to the cleaner. We calculate on what actually lands in your account. It is a smaller number and it is the honest one.
No setup, inspection or consultation fees
No onboarding charge, no photography package to buy, no fee to have us come and look at the property, and no charge for the inspections we do while managing it. If your property does not earn, we do not earn.
Month to month, with nothing to escape
No fixed term and no cancellation penalty. If we are not delivering you can walk away. We would rather earn your business every month than hold it with a contract.
Local, and small on purpose
We are based in Kitchener-Waterloo and we manage properties in this region only. That is a deliberate limit: it means someone can reach your property quickly, and it means you speak to the person who actually runs your listing.

Three steps to hands-off hosting.

A free consultation, with actual numbers

We review your property, your goals and your market, then give you a revenue estimate and our honest take on which plan fits. If we think short-term renting is the wrong call for your property, we will say that instead of selling you a plan. No fee, no inspection charge.

Around 45 minutes, no cost

A simple agreement, in plain language

Your rate, your services and your terms written out before we touch your listing. Signed digitally in minutes, and it never changes without your sign-off. No fixed term and no cancellation penalty.

Signed digitally, same day

We take over, and you watch the payouts

Listing live across Airbnb and Booking.com, pricing set against real local demand, guests screened and answered around the clock. You get a monthly performance report, billed on completed stays, and you can leave whenever it stops working.

Month to month, no lock-in

Questions hosts ask us

What does Airbnb property management actually cost?

Twelve percent of your host payout for the Co-Host plan, or eighteen percent for Full Service. There is no setup fee, no inspection fee and no consultation fee. The percentage is calculated on what actually lands in your account rather than on gross bookings, so the rate we quote is the rate you pay, and it only applies when you get paid.

What is the difference between co-hosting and full service?

Co-Host covers everything online: the listing on Airbnb and Booking.com, the pricing, the calendar and all guest communication. You keep your own cleaner and your own trades. Full Service adds the physical side, so cleaning and laundry coordination, restocking, maintenance oversight, check-in support and property inspections are handled too. Most hosts who already have a cleaner they trust start on Co-Host.

Which areas do you cover?

Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge, plus the surrounding townships of Woolwich and Wilmot. We do not manage properties outside Waterloo Region, because being able to reach a property quickly is most of what makes this work.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. We work month to month. Your rate and services are set out in a plain-language service agreement signed digitally before we touch your listing, and it never changes without your sign-off. There is no fixed term, no cancellation penalty and no term pressure.

Can you take over a listing I already have?

Yes. We take over the existing listing rather than starting a new one, so your review history, your rating and your Superhost status all carry across. Bookings already on the calendar are honoured and there is no gap in availability.

Do I need a licence to run a short-term rental here?

It depends on your city and on whether you are renting part of your principal residence or a separate unit. Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge each have their own approach and the rules get reviewed. We check the current position for your specific address before you list, and we will tell you plainly if we think an address is a problem.
