What this means for owners

No Palm Springs manager prints a percentage.

Our methodology gives fee transparency the largest weight, 30%, and no Palm Springs manager earns credit for a printed percentage. Each of them answers rate questions by phone or through a financial analysis, so the first conversation is where the number appears. The fee table below reads Not published on every row, which leaves Palm Springs without a median, and we do not borrow one from another market.

Tenure is easier to find than prices.

Oranj Palm prints 1972, Poppy 1984 for its parent McLean Company, Acme House Company 2008 and Altamira Vacation Rentals 2012. Poppy prints more than 130 homes and Luxsy Palm Springs about 20 at a time, while the other managers print no count. Acme House Company at 750 N Palm Canyon Dr and Oasis Rentals at 1111 East Palm Canyon Dr #205 each print a street address on their own pages. Treat the free financial analysis that Luxsy Palm Springs offers as a way to start the pricing conversation, since a projection is not a rate.

No locality benchmark yet.

Fee questions

How to read this index.

How much do Airbnb property managers charge in Palm Springs?

None of the 9 Palm Springs managers we evaluated lists a management percentage on its own site. Oranj Palm prints a $1,000 onboarding fee, and Checkmate Rentals, a regional co-hosting brand, prints “Starting at 15% fee”. For the local managers any figure has to come from a quote, so ask which percentage applies and the revenue it is charged against. To compare the nine fairly you need three answers from each: the percentage, its revenue base and any markup on cleaning and repairs. Until those are in writing, a ranking of Palm Springs fees would set one guess against another.

Why do so few STR managers in Palm Springs publish their fees?

In Palm Springs, quote only pricing lets a manager price each home separately and anchor high on a call. It also makes comparison hard, which is the point. That is why we maintain this index: 0 of 9 managers evaluated publish a rate, and the rest are recorded here as quote only with the date we checked.

Is a lower management fee always the better deal in Palm Springs?

No. The fee decides less than the revenue. A manager in Palm Springs charging more who lifts occupancy and nightly rates can net you more than a cheap one. Use this index to know the price, then push every candidate on what they would change about your listing.
