What is a tourist property manager

When you have tourist properties for rent, their management can become complicated and it may be necessary to take time to resolve all issues related to the property.

From that need arises the property manager, who makes life a little easier for property owners who rent out their homes for tourism.

What is a tourist property manager

When we talk about a tourist property manager, we refer to companies that manage properties. This type of organization offers services related to reservation management or advice to the owner.

There are mainly two types of property managers:

• Companies that handle everything, including check-in, check-out, and property cleaning.
• Companies that are solely responsible for maintenance and act as an emergency contact.

Hiring a tourist property manager is a good idea, as they have the necessary knowledge and experience to do it for you, so you don't have to worry about those tasks.

Functions of a property manager

Although the functions of a property manager may vary depending on the company that offers it and the needs of the owner, the most common ones are:

• Get clients for the properties.
• Conduct a market analysis to establish the best price for the rental property.
• Development and implementation of the marketing plan.
• Propose and make improvements to the property.
• Take photographs of the property to advertise it.
• Insert ads on portals dedicated to tourist rentals.
• Respond to calls and emails from interested parties.
• Send the documentation and necessary information to the tenants.
• Perform the check-in and the check-out.
• Review the property after the clients' departure.
• Perform maintenance and cleaning of the property.

How to facilitate the work of a manager

Indicate the rental price

Although the manager usually conducts an analysis to determine the most suitable price for renting the property, we must inform them of the amount we would like to receive as owners.

Install a smart lock

With the smart lock for tourist accommodations, such as the one we offer on raixer.com, the time invested by the manager is reduced, and guests are given the possibility to enter the property at any time.

Provide all the property's information

When preparing the documentation, the manager will need all the data related to the property, such as the address or the cadastral reference.

Indicate the property's availability

Sometimes it happens that we don't want to rent out the property for certain days or even the same owner wants to spend some days in it. If this is the case, it's best to communicate it to the manager.

A tourist property manager is a company that offers services related to the management of rental properties. Some of these services are check-in, check-out, and property maintenance. To facilitate the manager's work, it's best to communicate the rental price, property information, availability for rent, and install a smart lock.
