NOVA SCOTIA SHORT-TERM RENTAL MANAGEMENT — HALIFAX · SOUTH SHORE · ANNAPOLIS VALLEY · SINCE 2016

Two identical cottages. One earns twice as much.

In every market we track, the top-earning homes make two to three times what typical ones do — same streets, same seasons. The difference is operation: the pricing, the guest work, the empty nights. Whether yours is underearning, eating your evenings, or sitting dark all winter, the fix starts with a real number. Casa Scotia runs 20+ of Nova Scotia's top-earning rentals, priced nightly against 1,541 tracked listings. Sixty seconds gets you the number yours should be making; our fee starts when your first guest checks in — published year-to-year terms, 30-day exit.

01 — WHY US

Most managers ask for your trust. We publish our numbers and let you audit them.

Every figure on this site is dated, sourced, and checkable — the same standard we hold for the revenue estimates we put our name on. That discipline is the product. It’s what your property is managed with.

D1 · THE INSTRUMENT
Underwriting, opened to the public

Our revenue calculator is the same comp engine we price the portfolio with — real verifiable comparables per estimate, percentile bands, no false precision.

D2 · THE RECORD
A decade in, on the record

Operating since 2016. 20+ properties onboarded. 4.8★ average across 1,000+ guest reviews on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Google. The review feed below is pulled live from our booking system, not curated.

D3 · THE RETURNS
Priced flat, aligned with you

Flat-rate management whose fee starts when your first guest checks in. Casa earns when the property earns — the case studies below carry the numbers.

D4 · THE DEAL FLOW
Deal flow, graded weekly

New MLS listings, scored against every active listing across the 13 markets we track — 1,541 today. Investment-grade properties surface before most buyers know what they’d earn. Deal flow ↓

WHY THE GAP EXISTS

Same street, twice the revenue. Here’s what actually makes the difference.

NIGHTLY REPRICING

Your rate should change every night, not once in May. Ours does — set by an engine our co-founder built. You’ve already used it: it prices the free estimate.

GAP NIGHTS

The empty nights between bookings are where revenue quietly dies. We price and package them so they get filled, not written off.

YOUR JANUARY

Summer runs itself. Winters get offered to a different tenant — monthly stays, through an extended-stay channel most operators don’t run.

THE WATCHLIST

We track 1,541 active listings across 13 markets. When your street moves, your price moves the same night.

NOTHING UNTIL A GUEST CHECKS IN

20% flat, published. Year-to-year, 30-day exit. Staying mid-band costs more than trying us.

02 — THE INSTRUMENT

Know what your property earns before you talk to anyone.

Enter the address. We geocode it, pull the truest comparables from our tracked-listings corpus — every one a real, verifiable listing — and return a revenue band — not a single flattering number. Every estimate ships with its comp set, an as-of date, and a PDF you can put in front of your accountant. The band shows what the market typically earns — mostly self-managed listings. Our published case files show managed homes landing in its top quartile: the Lakehouse runs +46% above its market’s comp average.

  • Percentile band, capped to real precision — never “$47,407.90”
  • Real comparables with live Airbnb links — audit our inputs
  • Emailed as a report your lender or accountant can read

Founder-operated. The people who built the engine run your property.

Yuan He, Lloyd Liu, and family, the people behind Casa Scotia
HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA · SINCE 2016
Yuan He LINKEDIN
CO-FOUNDER · DATA SCIENCE & OPERATIONS

Built the pricing engine that reprices every property daily — demand, seasonality, event calendars, competitor data. It’s the single biggest reason the portfolio outperforms self-managed listings.

Lloyd Liu LINKEDIN
CO-FOUNDER · FINANCE & STRATEGY

A former investment banker who structures the portfolio’s finances with institutional discipline. Your monthly statement reads like an institutional report because he built it that way.

08 — THE GUESTS
