actually keep?
If the payout, fee story, or owner updates on your Sarasota condo, Bradenton pool home, or island listing do not add up, send the listing link or address plus a sentence or two about what feels off. We will compare it against the same Gulf Coast benchmark and send back a one-page revenue review that shows what deserves a second look, what to ask before you renew, and what we would check next.

The Benchmark
"Property management for owners who care about what they actually keep. What to look at before you change managers starts with these four numbers.
Benchmark + Revenue Review What owners miss when they compare management fees: booking-source costs, weak presentation, guest-feedback risks, and uneven owner updates rarely show up clearly in an owner statement. We do not quote one flat management fee for every home. The review shows what deserves a second look and what we would check next before you switch.
Fee Fit
Not Flat
management math changes by home
No single flat fee. Homes in the right band fit 15% plus admin; lower-yield homes need different math.
Direct Channel
$119,923
moved off OTA commissions
Direct booking revenue shifted off OTA commissions, back toward owner economics.
Host Fee Average
13.4%
vs roughly 2.9% on direct payment
Observed Airbnb host-fee average across the portfolio, compared with the approximate direct payment cost in the benchmark.

Commission Reality

percent · the commission gap
Owners often compare one manager at 15%, another at 20%, another at 25% as if that settles the decision. It usually does not.

Selected FAQ
What Gulf Coast owners usually ask first.
01How do I know if my market can support professional management fees?
Start with local operating proof, not generic county averages. Read the Owner Fee + Net Payout Benchmark for booking-cost math and the Bradenton market analysis for observed operating context. If you need a number for your home, request a revenue review instead of relying on a public average.
02What should a local manager handle that a remote manager usually misses?
The short answer is local response time. Cleaning quality control, maintenance triage, guest screening, and property checks are all weaker when the manager is not operating in-market. The market-specific service pages break down how that changes between Bradenton, Sarasota, and Anna Maria Island.
03What should I read before choosing a vacation rental manager?
Start with the page that matches your market, then read the fee reality page, the income breakdown, and the switch-management page if you think the current setup is the real problem.
