As a property owner, managing a short-term rental can be a daunting task. From furnishing and marketing your property, coordinating bookings and cleaning, and handling guest enquiries and issues, the responsibilities can quickly add up. That's where a short-term rental management company like MadeComfy comes in.

Working with a professional management company can save you time, money, and stress, whilst maximising your rental income. We’ll explore the reasons why property owners should consider working with a short-term rental management company like MadeComfy, and how it can help you achieve your goals as a property owner.

Increased revenue

MadeComfy's expert property management team will optimise your listings, manage bookings, and handle all the details of property maintenance and cleaning to ensure that your property is always in top condition and generating the most revenue possible. MadeComfy properties earn 20% higher rental returns than other short-term rental companies.

Time-saving

With MadeComfy, you won't have to spend time managing your own bookings, responding to guest enquiries, or dealing with property maintenance issues. We'll take care of all of that for you. Choosing a property management company over self-managing allows property owners to avoid dealing with the high volume of guest communications, particularly during peak periods, which can be overwhelming and time-consuming. An average booking will have at least 8 contact touch-points with guests not including automated responses.

With guests' expectations for short-term rentals at an all-time high, having a specialised guest experience team like the 24/7  one at MadeComfy can ensure that every guest at your home has an extraordinary experience.

Regulations

As a property owner in the short-term rental market, you face a range of challenges, including navigating the complex regulations in different councils and postcodes and obtaining permits. These complexities can arise unexpectedly and disrupt your ability to achieve your goals as a property owner. This is where working with a short-term rental management company like MadeComfy can make all the difference.

MadeComfy is well-equipped to navigate regulatory complexities, including permits in various councils and postcodes. Our expertise in handling unfamiliar territory, such as the NSW STRA Policy 180-day cap, and extensive experience with STRATA and bi-laws make us well-equipped to handle any legal challenges that may arise
