What this means for owners

The published rates bracket the market.

With a 25% full service rate and a 12% hands on tier in the open, you know the real negotiating range before any sales call. Quote only managers price inside this bracket far more often than outside it.

Fee transparency predicts other transparency.

A manager who prints a rate tends to print contract terms too. Two of the three most transparent companies in this index also advertise flexible contract terms.

Occupancy and rate data is coming.

ADR, occupancy and revenue benchmarks for this market are in the pipeline and will publish here with full sourcing. We publish nothing we cannot source.

Fee questions

How to read this index.

How much do Airbnb property managers charge in the Poconos?

Published rates in this market are 25% of gross rental income for full service at Galvanized Management and 12% of gross revenue plus a $1,000 one time signing fee for the Pocono Pads online tier. The other 13 managers we track quote privately. Across our evaluation the typical full service range is 18 to 30% of revenue.

Why do so few STR managers publish their fees?

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: 2 of 16 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?

No. The fee decides less than the revenue. A manager 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.
