Part of the Short-Term Rental Management Guide, step 3: decide
Why the Price Is Quoted per Home
Homes in the service area differ a great deal. A townhome in Nashua, an 8-bedroom lake estate that sleeps 22 and a ski home near Okemo do not take the same work to run, and they do not earn on the same calendar. Owner/Operator Will Robichaud treats each property as an individual investment, with decisions made property by property, and the quote follows the same logic.
So there is no rate card here, and we will not quote a number or a percentage on this page. The quote comes after we have looked at your home.
What the Quote Covers
You choose one of two products, and each is quoted on its own.
Full-Service Management
Full-service management is one package. It is not priced in components, so you do not pick and pay for parts. It includes:
- Listing creation and optimization
- Photography and copywriting
- Dynamic pricing based on demand, seasonality and local events, reviewed daily in PriceLabs from competitor pricing and market demand
- Guest messaging and support
- Booking confirmations and reminders
- Post-stay follow-up and review management
- Housekeeping and maintenance coordination, with housekeeping and an inspection after every stay
- Listing on Airbnb, Vrbo, Tripadvisor, Expedia, Booking.com and Furnished Finder
Co-hosting
Co-hosting is a separate product, sold instead of full-service management. Which tasks the company takes on is agreed with each owner, so the quote depends on that split. Ask us.
What the Owner Keeps Paying
Management pricing is one line in a rental's costs. These stay with the owner under either product:
| Cost | How it works |
|---|---|
| License and permit fees | Your town's and state's fees (see permits and licenses) |
| Consumables | Bought for the home and rebilled to you at cost, with no markup; see supplies and restocking |
| Utilities | Electricity, internet, water, and heat, which in New England is often oil or propane |
| Owner stays | The costs that come with your own time in the house |
| Repairs | Coordinated by the company with local vendors and paid by you, within an approval threshold you agree at the start |
Two things that are not management costs, but come out of bookings:
- Platform fees are set by each platform. Airbnb, for example, says most hosts on its single-fee structure pay a 15.5% service fee and most hosts on its split-fee structure pay 3%, as of October 2026.
- Lodging taxes are set by the state and town. Platforms often collect and remit them, but registration rules differ by state: Massachusetts, for example, requires every operator to register with the Department of Revenue even when renting only through a platform.
How to Compare a Quote
When you compare any manager's price, compare like with like:
- What is included? Is cleaning, inspection, photography or pricing software inside the price or extra?
- What is it charged on? Gross bookings, net of fees, a flat amount?
- What gets marked up? Supplies and repair invoices can carry a markup with some managers. Here, consumables are rebilled at cost.
- Are there setup fees or minimum terms? Ask, and get the answer in writing.
- Who approves repairs, and up to what amount?

FAQ
Why Don't You Publish Your Prices?

No. It is one package, not priced in components. If you want to keep some of the work, ask about co-hosting.
Do You Mark up Supplies?
No. Consumables are rebilled at cost.
Are Repairs Included in the Management Price?
No. Repairs are paid by the owner. The company coordinates them with local vendors within an approval threshold you agree.
