How To Get a Better Airbnb Property Listing and More Customer Bookings

You might be new to Airbnb property management, or you may have some experience of letting your property out to holidaymakers, or business people. Either way, you can always create further opportunities to maximise your rental income, although there is without doubt a lot to consider first, if you haven’t yet taken these initial important steps.

Getting Your Airbnb Property Up and Running

Marketing your property is a bit like promoting yourself. You want people to see your home, or your investment property, in it’s very best light. That means that your decor should be up to date, the property is always clean and spotless, and you’ve kitted it out in a tasteful and practical way, for any number of future guests. There’s a fair amount of hard work to get to this point and you might find yourself extremely stretched for time as the commitment involved is substantial. But here’s the thing, it needn’t be. What if an Airbnb property management business, such as Elite, took this off your hands and did it all for you. That would be great wouldn’t it?

We can take care of all your Airbnb property management needs from your property listing and price, key exchange, cleaning, laundry, maintenance and much more, so you can sit back and relax whilst your rental income grows and your guests go home smiling, satisfied with their overall experience.

Get Started With an Effective Property Listing

Our expert team will create an eye-catching listing for your house or apartment. Whilst we’ll aim to keep it as simple as possible, you can expect an inviting title and all your property’s best features advertised in all the right places and in the right way. Essentially, you want someone to see it and say ‘that’s the property for me’. And the listing doesn’t need to be overthought. It can be as simple as ‘city centre apt with free parking’ or ‘Easy walk to Holyrood Place from stunning apt’.

Competitive Pricing

One of the easiest ways to attract the attention of new guests is to set your daily income rate to be less than the average price for your property type. So understanding what this is, or asking us to look into this for you, is an essential first step. Our team of pricing experts thoroughly explore recent data to ensure your occupancy and profit rates are fully optimised. We help you do your homework, and look at similar properties being listed in the area and if you see one nearby for £250 per night, then you should look to advertise yours at £200 per night to encourage guests to book with you.

Professional Photography Makes a Huge Difference

A single picture usually tells you more than a thousand words. You might be thinking about lighting, angles, framing, and whether it’s a good idea to take pictures of your property in full sunlight? Our people may agree, but also have their own thoughts too. That’s why we’ll make sure our professional photographers are on hand to take care of your needs and capture your home at it’s very best. The aim is to produce photographs worthy of a magazine cover.

Knowing Your Customer

When preparing your home for airbnb, you need to be aware of the type of clientele you are seeking to attract. Usually, hosts will look for a mixture of families, couples and business travellers, to maintain a full rental schedule. Knowing your guests is important because it will determine how effectively you advertise your property. Elite can also help you screen potential guests and root out any potential undesirables. Your airbnb description/amenities list should include things that families would be grateful for, such as enough beds and other important things such as ‘free access to laundry and clothes dryer’ and ‘cot and high chair provided’. Elite will work closely with you to ensure that a bespoke Welcome Pack is prepared for your guests and that all communication and on-site support from enquiry to departure is professional and flawless.

Fully Flexible Short Lets

Whether you wish to rent out your home on airbnb whilst you’re on a month-long trip, or you have a spare apartment in the city, our property management solution is designed to adapt to all kinds of availability schedules. We work closely with you to ensure any gaps in your schedule can be filled, any time you’re away. And because our property maintenance team is always on hand, you’ll find your home exactly the way you left it, when you eventually do return.

Check-in Check-out and Key Exchange

A smiling face to welcome people is sometimes all a guest needs after a long journey. We’ll welcome every guest personally upon their arrival and are at their disposal to assist them during their stay. And when it’s time to go, we’re on hand to make sure their departure is seamless.
