Services
Superhost Philly offers a comprehensive short-term property rental management service. For more information head over to our What We Do page
You are our perfect customer if you own an investment property or vacation home and would like to earn amazing rental income from the property while still having the option to make use of it yourself from time to time. Most of our customers simply do not have the time to manage short-term rentals themselves or do not live close by.
We only manage “Entire Place” listings, which means we will not be able to assist you in managing a “Private Room” or “Shared Room”.
We only manage properties on behalf of owners. If you currently rent a property and would like to sublet this property, we require written confirmation from the owner that this is allowed.
Pricing
-
Superhost Philly charges a management fee of 14.9% of Net Rental Revenue (the rental paid by guests LESS listing site service fees, credit card fees and other transaction costs).
-
In addition to our management fee, we will arrange for, facilitate, monitor and pay for additional external services on your behalf and will invoice you for these on a monthly basis. You can choose to handle this service on your own if you wish.
Examples of additional monthly charges would include repairs and maintenance costs and purchasing replacement items.
-
We’re often asked if cleaning is included in your fee. The answer: No. We will determine the per handover cleaning fee based off the size of your listing.
BUT the cost of cleaning your property is charged to your guests. This means you will not be charged for cleaning, laundry, cleaning supplies or guest amenities.
We will set the cleaning fee guests need to pay on the listing platform. These fees are paid out along with normal payouts and will be deducted from the rental revenue received before applying our management fee.
Getting Started
Of course! As part of the onboarding process we will create an Airbnb profile and optimized Airbnb listing for you. After handover we will schedule a deep clean of your listing, make recommendations on missing items and arrange for professional photography. We will also create a detailed house manual which we will send to guests prior to their arrival.
We will gladly take over and manage reservations booked through Airbnb prior to your signup. These will be treated the same way as reservations secured after signup and will also be charged the normal management fee.
- Electronic-lock: We require an electronic lock and can assist with installation.
- Lock box: This is a backup in case anything happens with the electronic lock.
- Bedding: We require two full sets of bedding and towels.
- Internet: We require all listings we manage to have internet installed at the time of handover.
- Essentials: We require all listings to have the following items at handover: iron/ ironing board & hair dryer.
If you are interested in finding out more about our services or are ready to get started, please head over to our Contact page. From there, you can either send us a message or email.
A member of the Superhost Philly team will contact you to arrange a meeting at the property. This is to ensure the property is in fact Airbnb-read and meets our hosting standards.
If all is in order, we will send through the necessary paperwork and schedule a handover date at your earliest convenience.
