Step 1

Free Assessment

You tell us about your property. We run the numbers — a comparative market study, occupancy projections, and an honest revenue estimate we'll stand behind.

  • Market analysis of comparable listings in your area
  • Realistic revenue projections based on seasonality and demand
  • Honest recommendation — if the numbers don't work, we'll say so
  • No cost, no obligation, no follow-up pressure

Step 2

Custom Plan

A downtown Halifax condo needs a different strategy than a South Shore cottage. We tailor the plan to your property, your market, and your goals.

  • Choose full management or co-hosting
  • Pricing strategy tuned to your specific market
  • Personal-use scheduling for your own visits
  • 20% fee, year-to-year terms, cancel anytime

Step 3

21-Day Onboarding

From signed agreement to first booking in three weeks. We handle the heavy lifting — you do almost nothing.

  • Week 1: Property visit, STR registration, insurance and compliance
  • Week 2: Professional photography, listing creation, pricing calibration
  • Week 3: Cleaning coordination, operations testing, bookings go live
  • No onboarding fees — our fee doesn't start until guests pay

Step 4

Ongoing Management

Your typical month: a booking confirmation, a check-in notification, a five-star review, and a performance report. That's it. That's your involvement.

  • Dynamic pricing adjusted daily based on real demand data
  • 24/7 guest communication from inquiry to checkout
  • Professional cleaning and restocking after every stay
  • Maintenance handled with trusted local contractors
  • Same team throughout — no handoffs, no call centres

Transparent Reporting

Every month, you see exactly where every dollar went. No jargon, no mystery fees, no black box.

  • Revenue breakdown: gross bookings, expenses, net income — line by line
  • Occupancy and ADR compared to last month and last year
  • Market context: how you perform vs. comparable listings
  • Forward-looking recommendations for the coming month
