How much do Airbnb managers charge?
A lower percentage can cost more once setup, cleaning margins and exit fees are added. Ask every manager these questions.

Pricing questions
Because the income is different. A long-term agent collects one rent payment a week. Lane Property runs a hotel-style operation: pricing twice a day, guest messages 24/7, and a clean and inspection after every stay. Across the properties we manage, owners earn around 40% more than the equivalent long-term lease, after our fee. Queen Street in Brisbane nets about $1,038 a week against roughly $650 on a lease.
Most full-service Airbnb managers charge a percentage of booking revenue, and many only quote after a sales call. Lane Property charges 18% + GST of accommodation revenue for one property and 15% + GST per property for two or more, plus a $500 one-off setup fee.
Accommodation revenue: what guests pay for the nights. It is not charged on the cleaning fee, which the guest pays and goes to the cleaner.
19.8% of accommodation revenue, or 16.5% all-in at the two-property rate. GST applies because management is a taxable service.
Usually not. Residential short-stay accommodation is generally input-taxed, so most owners cannot claim GST credits on it. Your accountant can confirm for your situation.
Only the $500 setup fee, deducted from your first payout. Cleaning is paid by the guest, platform fees are taken by Airbnb, Booking.com or Stayz, and repairs are billed at cost only after you approve them. No monthly fees, no per-booking surcharges, no exit fee.
No. 30 days' notice, no exit fee. If you leave, we can set you up with your own Airbnb account and hand it over.
Twice a month, on the 1st and 16th, with a monthly statement showing every booking, fee and expense.
