Services
Everything it takes to run your home to a hotel standard.
Flat 15% of net, one rate · $300 monthly floor · cleaning and laundry by our property care team
We run the pricing, the guests, the turnovers, the property care and the monthly statement. The same property care team does every turnover, to our checklist, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Why owners switch to us
Short-term rentals break in two places: a clean that slips, and a rate nobody moved.
Both of those are ours to hold.
We answer for the turnover
The same property care team resets the home every time, on our schedule and our checklist, linens included. When it slips there is nobody to point at but us.
You're never one of hundreds
Founder-led, with the portfolio capped on purpose, so the person running your home knows it by name.
Run for profit, from data
Revenue isn't profit. We price, position and time the calendar from real market data, and we judge a month by what you keep.
The operating system
Six jobs, one team, none of them yours.
01 / Revenue
Your rate does not sit still.
Rates move daily against demand, seasonality, events and what the market is actually booking. Calendar rules, minimum stays and promotional pricing get worked the same way.
Repriced daily
02 / Guests
Guests come to us first.
Pre-arrival questions, access issues and stay support run through our guest operation, staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
7 days
03 / Distribution
Airbnb is one channel, not the business.
Listed and synced across booking channels, with availability managed in one place.
One calendar
04 / Turnovers
The four hours between guests decide the review.
Cleaning, laundry, staging, supply levels and guest-readiness follow one checklist we can inspect and correct. The people who reset the home are the same property care team every time.
One standard
05 / Property
Someone walks the house after every stay.
Damage, maintenance needs, missing inventory and presentation issues are documented and routed before they become the next guest's problem. Replacements come through group purchasing and trade accounts, so linens, appliances, hot tubs and furnishings cost less than retail.
Every stay
06 / Owner
You should not need a spreadsheet to understand your manager.
One statement each month: what the home earned, what it spent, what happened, and what needs deciding.
Monthly
Every turnover runs the same way.
Our property care team works through seven steps between one guest leaving and the next arriving, in this order every time.
- 01Step 01
Checkout
Departure confirmed; the clock and the checklist start the moment the door closes.
- 02Step 02
Inspection
A trained set of eyes walks the home for damage, wear, and anything a guest would notice before a guest ever does.
- 03Step 03
Clean
The same cleaning team every time resets the home to a documented standard.
- 04Step 04
Laundry
Linens are washed to one standard, so a guest bed is never a gamble on whoever washed it.
- 05Step 05
Restock
Consumables and amenities replenished to par, so the next guest never finds an empty roll or a missing essential.
- 06Step 06
QA photos
The finished home is photographed, so there's a record if anything is ever in question.
- 07Step 07
Relist
Calendar and listing confirmed live, priced, and ready for the next booking.
Timing varies by home and season. The order does not.

The economics
What one flat rate replaces
Fifteen percent of net puts an entire operating team on your property, the roles a serious rental would otherwise hire, vet, and manage separately:
- A revenue managerDynamic pricing from real market data.
- A 24/7 guest-experience teamScreening, messaging, and on-call support, day and night.
- A turnover coordinatorEvery turnover scheduled with our property care team and held to our checklist.
- A maintenance and claims deskVendor coordination, issue triage, and damage claims, handled.
- A general managerOne operator who owns the outcome and the statement, reconciled to the cent.
The rate
Full-service management, run to one standard.
One operator runs your Colorado Springs home end to end and answers for it, for one flat rate.
15%of net rental revenue
$300/mo floor
In a very slow month, 15% of net might not cover actively running your home, so $300 is the minimum. In any normal month you simply pay the 15%.
What the fee covers
- Dynamic revenue management + channel distribution
- 24/7 guest communication and screening
- Turnover scheduling with our property care team
- Maintenance coordination and claims handling
- Monthly owner statement, reconciled to the cent
15% is charged on net rental revenue, your payout after OTA fees, before your split. $400 standard launch. A 90-day minimum, then month to month. Existing owners keep their current rate. We'll confirm it by email.
Not ready for management? Start with an advisory audit.
A paid launch or portfolio audit for owners who want the roadmap first, no management commitment. Some move to management afterward. Some take the fix list and run it themselves, which is what the tier is for.
You will see the exact figures for your property by email.
Not every property is a fit, and we'll tell you.
- Weak locations
- Poor legal fit
- Unresolved safety or access
- Neglected homes needing major readiness
- Owners who resist standards
- Owners wanting fantasy projections
