Economic advisory · Short-term rentals
Reputation is not managed. It is earned.
On site, with your teams, one stay at a time.
We thoroughly review each property, price the recommended options and roll them out with your teams. We then measure the gain every month.
A thirty-minute scoping session. Ten properties or more in France, twenty units or more elsewhere, within one area.
Who this is for
Owners and property managers who operate several vacation rentals, themselves or through their staff and vendors. At least ten properties within one area in France, twenty units elsewhere. In-person guest reception, or a clear commitment to put it in place.
We run three hands-on field engagements per quarter, reviewing and upgrading every property, because we are on site.
Your review score dictates your pricing power. Your field operations dictate your score.
Here is why.
Three core objectives
Yield
Raise your average daily rate to target high-value stays, with fewer turnovers, lower wear and tear and better net margins.
Corporate distribution
Fill off-peak and shoulder nights with mid-term and long-term corporate stays, through a dedicated acquisition tool at your disposal.
We provide the tool and train your teams; you run the outreach, the conversations and the signing.
Operator freedom and portfolio scale
Systematize operations so your portfolio runs without your constant presence, on a qualified on-site team, freeing you to sign new property owners and expand.
Proof of performance
Average daily rate, €272 in 2023, against a local market of €130 to €150.
Booking rating, up from 9.4 in 2023.
In Strasbourg, the average daily rate of our own operation rose from €272 in 2023 to €301 in 2025, against a local market of €130 to €150. Over the same period, nights sold fell from 176 to 143 and the Booking rating climbed from 9.4 to 9.8.
That is not a pricing strategy. It is a system: properties kept up continuously, trained and accountable teams, coordinated vendors, rigorous quality control, and a corporate clientele managed as a channel of its own.
The result goes beyond a higher rate. It is the capacity to sustain it over the long term.
How the engagement runs, in three phases
The on-site review
We carry out a full on-site review of your portfolio. It covers twelve months of figures, property by property, and a walkthrough of every property, observing arrivals, departures and turnovers.
Recommendations and rollout
We deliver our recommendations, property by property, and implement them on the ground with your teams, whom we train for that purpose.
The monthly measurement
We measure the gain every month against the same month of the prior year: average daily rate, nights sold, revenue, guest ratings, incidents, turnover cost and your indicators.
The deliverable is not a report. It is an operation that runs at a higher level.
During the engagement, your teams have access to Next Best Move, our operations tool: every week, the priority action for each property, based on your figures and your reviews. You see it in the scoping session.
Risk free
We take on the risk. Full return on your investment is guaranteed within twelve months. If it is not reached, measurement and follow-up continue for six more months with no fixed fee. One condition: you implement the recommendations you selected and share your figures every month.
Our fee has a fixed part and a part tied to performance.
That part is earned only when you earn.
The next step
The next step is a thirty-minute scoping session that determines:
- which properties in your portfolio qualify for the engagement;
- your main gaps in quality, margin and capacity;
- the scope of the first twelve months.
