Every management company promises to take the work off your hands. The difference is not in that promise but in what happens on a Sunday evening in August, when the boiler gives up and new guests arrive at four.
Below is what we concretely do differently, and at the bottom is where we are honestly not the right choice.
One fee, and it covers everything
Twenty percent excluding VAT on your net accommodation income. No monthly fee, no setup cost, no margin on the cleaning. Professional photography is included as standard rather than an option costing a few hundred euro. What you pay depends on what you earn, so our interest is the same as yours.
Cancellable monthly
No one or three year contract. If it does not work, you stop with a month's notice. That is deliberate: anyone who needs a long term to keep clients is keeping them for the wrong reason. We would rather you stayed because it works.
One named contact
You get a name and a number, not a general call centre and not a rotating contact. That same person knows your property, knows which neighbour holds the key and why the third bedroom is not in the listing.
Your property stays yours
You block your own weeks whenever you want, including in high season, with one click in the calendar. There is no minimum number of weeks you have to hand over and no period we claim. That sounds obvious, but it is not in every contract.
Cleaning and repairs at cost
We coordinate cleaning, linen and repairs, but we earn nothing on them. Those costs pass through as they come in. That does not only save money: it removes the incentive to clean more often or send a tradesman sooner than needed.
One team for the coast, the cities and Spain
We work on the Belgian coast, in Belgian and Dutch cities, on the Costa Blanca and on the Costa del Sol. If you own here and in Spain, you have one contact and one report instead of two parties who do not know each other. The paperwork differs per region, and we know it per region.
How that compares to what is common
Not every manager works this way. Ask about this explicitly wherever you compare.
| Often common | With us | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee | Percentage plus a monthly charge | One percentage, nothing else |
| Setup cost | A few hundred euro | None |
| Photography | Optional, charged separately | Included as standard |
| Cleaning | With a margin on top | At cost |
| Contract | One to three years | Cancellable monthly |
| Own use | Limited or out of season only | Unlimited, including peak |
| Contact | General number | One named person |
| Reply to your enquiry | When it suits | A call within 24 hours |
When we are not the right choice
Better honest now than disappointed in six months.
- •You live nearby, have the time and enjoy doing it yourself. Then we are mostly a cost.
- •You let a handful of weeks a year to people you know. There is nothing to optimise.
- •Your nightly rate is very low. A percentage of little is little, while the work per booking stays the same.
- •You want to decide who sleeps there and review every enquiry personally. A legitimate choice, but it costs return and does not fit how we work.
- •You are looking for someone to do only the cleaning. We take on the whole thing or nothing, because half management serves nobody.
If you recognise yourself here, say so. We will say it too, rather than letting you try for half a year.
Curious what it would mean for your property?
We review your property and your listing and tell you honestly what could be better. Then you decide, with no obligation.
