CoHostie was established by a team of hosts boasting over three decades of experience in the hospitality sector. Our expertise spans various areas, including hotel management, vacation rentals, and long-term leasing. This extensive background has equipped us with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of the industry effectively.

​

In 2016, we eagerly ventured into the short-term rental market, starting with a single listing on Airbnb. By leveraging our hospitality background alongside our professional cleaning services, we achieved success and expanded our portfolio with additional listings. Shortly thereafter, we recognized the potential of VRBO to enhance our booking opportunities. However, this expansion revealed several logistical challenges, such as intricate listing configurations, the risk of double bookings, and the need for prompt guest communication. The process of managing multiple listings required meticulous attention to detail, including the accurate input of house rules and cancellation policies.

In our quest for efficiency, we invested in channel management software, only to find it often cumbersome, confusing, and prohibitively expensive. Many times, the software experienced glitches that led to double bookings and data loss, with minimal technical support available. This left us feeling unsupported and overwhelmed, as we struggled to manage the demands of the platforms.

 

Ultimately, we sought a full-service property management company to alleviate our workload, but we were disappointed by the quality of service and the lack of transparency in monthly statements. The high fees, often exceeding 50% of our income, drained our profits, leaving us with little financial gain each month.

 

CoHostie is the first company of its kind to offer 0% host fees allowing the homeowner to keep 100% of the nightly rate. Also, homeowners will get to keep 100% of the designated cleaning fee.  Instead, we offer a transparent, clear subscription flat rate plan with no hidden charges or surprises, offered at up to 90% off the other companies. Currently no other management companies offer no % fees. We have revolutionized industry standards. CoHostie was founded by hosts such as yourself so we devised a program that is beneficial and advantageous to you.
