Common fee models
Short-term rental managers often use percentage-of-revenue pricing, flat monthly pricing, or a hybrid model with add-on charges. Percentage pricing is easy to understand, but it scales up as your property performs better.

The details
Make the decision with the full context.
What owners should compare
- Management fee percentage.
- What is included in guest communication, pricing, turnovers, reporting, and maintenance coordination.
- Whether cleaning, repairs, onboarding, linens, supplies, or platform fees are billed separately.
- How fast guests and owners get responses.
- Whether the manager improves net owner income, not just gross revenue.
How Atlia prices management
Atlia charges a 10% management fee and is built to run the operational work owners usually do themselves: guest messages, cleaner coordination, pricing checks, owner reporting, and property-specific decisions with operator oversight.
A simpler owner model
Full-service management for a flat 10%.
Atlia manages guests, pricing, turnovers, maintenance coordination, and owner reporting across Airbnb and Vrbo, with experienced operators supervising the system.
Owner questions
Useful answers, without the fine-print fog.
A good fee depends on service quality, included work, revenue performance, and how much owner time the manager saves. Compare net owner income, not just the headline percentage.
A lower fee leaves more booking revenue with the owner. On $100,000 in annual revenue, each 10 percentage points of management fee equals $10,000 per year.
Atlia coordinates operations and can work with approved cleaners and vendors. The goal is to remove repetitive owner coordination while keeping clear visibility.
