fees FAQ
fees FAQ
While you can anticipate management rates of anywhere between 10% and 40% of your revenue, keep in mind that not all vacation rental managers have the same services or charge for them in the same way.
When shopping for vacation rental management, anticipate “you get what you pay for” to apply. If management rates seem surprisingly low, there’s a likelihood that the deficit is being made up for elsewhere, or the services are not comprehensive. Management rates may also vary by local market.
The best way to know for sure how much a manager will charge? Ask them. At DAS, we’d be happy to give you a quote and a run-down of all the essentials our comprehensive management covers (with no obligation on your end).

The best way to make the most of your vacation home is by renting it to vacationers. And the simplest way to rent it is by trusting a full-service vacation rental manager (like DAS) to cover the booking, marketing, housekeeping, and more.
Some people enjoy doing the entire process themselves. So as you consider hiring a vacation rental manager, think about your lifestyle, your future plans, and your present obligations. Then, consider how those factors might impact your vacation rental goals.
Should you find that a full-service manager sounds like your best bet, connect with a local DAS expert to talk. They’ll show you how we can maximize your earnings while minimizing interruptions to your daily life — and give you an estimate of your home’s revenue potential.

Unfortunately, there’s no definitive answer to the question “Which vacation rental manager has the lowest fees?” It’s like comparing apples and oranges: not all vacation rental managers provide the same services, or can deliver on tasks like marketing your home at the same level of success.
While you’ll find that most vacation rental managers charge between 10% and 40% of your revenue, the level of management, your profits, and the type of additional fees vary. Sometimes, paying a slightly higher management fee can mean better outcomes than hiring a marketing-only manager or a nickel-and-diming discount service.
So to find a reasonable management rate, it’s best to shop around and get a sense of what you need first before going with what at first glance seems to be the lowest fee.
