Can You Remotely Manage An Airbnb?

Is it possible to manage an Airbnb business remotely? What do you need for remote holiday rental property management? It’s not easy to remotely manage an Airbnb but it can be done. You need to set up strong processes to manage your vacation rental property. In today’s blog post, we will share some helpful tips for remote management of your Airbnb business.

There are certain things every Airbnb guest expects in a listing. They want the place to be clean, have an easy check-in process, and have all the necessary information easily available. Since you won’t be physically present at your property, it becomes a huge task to manage everything remotely. Here is what you can do in such a situation:

1). Remote Check-In

One of the biggest challenges in managing an Airbnb is the check-in process when the host isn’t present at the property. However, now you can easily manage check-in by installing a smart lock, an electric clock, or even a key lock box. There are also several key management apps that allow you to keep track of your keys.

Smart locks allow you to generate unique access codes for each of your guests. There are software solutions that send these codes to the guests automatically which means you don’t really need to do much during the check-in process.

2). Take Care Of Supplies

You will need to provide some supplies to your guests. To do this, it is better to set up a system that allows you to regularly order supplies online. You can schedule the supplies to arrive when cleaners are at your property.

3). Use A Software Solution For Automated Messaging

There are several software solutions available in the market that allow you to send messages at certain times to your guests. These tools allow you to create and send personalised messages at the right time in case you need to relay important information and details. 

For instance, you can send messages to confirm their booking, a pre-check-in message, a check-in message, a check-out message, a message after checking out, a message for reviews, and some other special occasions.

4). Hire A Cleaning Service

A property should be clean to keep attracting guests and earning good reviews. One way to ensure a clean vacation rental property is to engage the services of a professional cleaning company to take care of routine cleaning tasks such as disinfecting and cleaning. A professional cleaning company will make sure that everything is spick-and-span once the guests leave and the property gets ready for the new guests.

5). Find Vendors

The property needs a lot of professionals to keep running properly. These include backup cleaning services, electricians, plumbers, handymen, landscaping services, pool cleaning services, pest control services, and so on. 

Since you are not going to be there at the property to call these wonders when you need them, you might want to find a professional operating near your property. You can call them periodically to take a look and fix any issues. They should also be available to emergency requests at any time.

6). Partner With An Airbnb Property Management Company
