One of the most common questions property owners ask is: “What should I pay for Airbnb management?”
In Perth, fees typically range from 15% to 25% — but cheaper is not always better.
Typical Fee Structure
• 15–18%: Basic / low-service managers
• 18–22%: Mid-tier service
• 22–25%: Premium full-service management
What’s Included (and What’s Not)
Lower-cost services often exclude:
• Pricing optimisation
• Styling guidance
• High-quality guest communication
Premium services include:
• Revenue optimisation
• Professional onboarding
• Full guest experience management
Why Cheap Management Costs More
A manager charging 15% who underperforms by 30% is more expensive than a 22% manager who maximises revenue.
Real Example
• Property A (cheap manager): $60K/year
• Property B (premium manager): $90K/year
Even after higher fees, the owner earns more.
Final Insight
You’re not paying for management — you’re paying for performance.
