Description

On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke explains what really happens when you sell an Airbnb or VRBO property. Drawing from his own recent sale, he walks through how Airbnb assigns a case manager to help rebook existing guests, while VRBO’s new policies now prohibit renting if the property is listed for sale unless strict conditions are met. Luke breaks down the challenges of transferring bookings, the risks if a buyer’s closing falls through, and why he believes sellers should keep things simple by providing buyers with a listing link and letting guests decide whether to rebook.
