Why Book NOLA is the Best Short-Term Rental Management Company in New Orleans

New Orleans is frequently featured as the best city in Louisiana to invest in real estate. It’s a place that attracts thousands of adventurers, businesspeople, and students who all want to experience Crescent City’s charm. This gives you a ton of choices for making extra money by renting out your real estate properties. All you have to do is list your rental on a booking platform and see the cash roll in!

But not so fast. Running and maintaining a short-term rental property is no easy task. You have to consistently communicate with your guests, manage your booking calendar, maintain your rental’s cleanliness, and handle many other tasks. There’s always something that needs your attention!

Thankfully, there is a way to avoid all that hassle. Working with a vacation rental management company, you can reap the benefits of owning a rental without dealing with all the practicalities. But this is only true if you partner with a professional property management service provider. Here’s why Book NOLA is the best short-term rental management company in New Orleans.

We maximize your rental income potential

If you’ve invested in New Orleans’ real estate, you’re most likely considering how to maximize your ROI. But it’s not as simple as putting your listing on Airbnb and waiting for guests to show up. According to Wired, New Orleans has over 9000 vacation rental properties, so the competition is high.

At Book NOLA, we focus on two steps – increasing marketing exposure while adjusting for local and seasonal demand. With our services, you won’t have to constantly refresh, monitor, and modify your rental prices. We’ll handle this part to ensure you get the most out of your rental!

Use your property whenever you want

New Orleans is a city that always has something going for it. It would be a shame not to enjoy it for yourself! Unlike other vacation rental management companies, we don’t limit when homeowners can stay in their vacation homes. With us, you get the freedom to access your property whenever you want. All you have to do is block out dates for personal use using your Owner’s Portal, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Professional housekeeping and upkeep

If you’ve ever stayed in a short-term rental, you already know how important cleanliness is. Bad decor won’t earn you a one-star review, but a dirty bathroom surely will. For your guests to be satisfied, your property should be spotless, so having reliable and professional cleaning services is crucial. 

At Book NOLA, we’ll take care of the entire housekeeping process, including cleaning, restocking supplies, and resolving any maintenance concerns for your property. To ensure your rental is in tip-top shape, we also do deep cleans regularly.

Don’t worry about guest vetting

One of the biggest fears owners of short-term rentals face is their property getting damaged. However, the risk of this happening can be significantly reduced through careful guest vetting. We maintain strict booking procedures to ensure only the highest quality clientele stays in your home. 

In fact, our short-term rental management team verifies each guest before check-in so you can have peace of mind knowing your property is in safe hands.

Enjoy support 24/7

Short-term rental management involves many variables. You always have to be available to your guests in case any questions or problems arise. But with other responsibilities in your life, this may not always be possible.

Luckily, when you use Book NOLA services, you don’t have to worry about guests messaging you at night or resolving maintenance issues while on vacation. We’ll take care of all these things, saving you time and headaches!

Get constant updates on your property

The beauty of using vacation rental management services is that you can focus your time and energy on other matters while we ensure your property runs smoothly. Still, we understand that you might want to keep your finger on the pulse of what’s happening. 

For this reason, we’ve created an online Owner portal that provides our clients with an up-to-the-minute booking calendar. Our detailed owner statements offer complete transparency for billing as well as maintenance history. We also regularly provide detailed information on your property’s key performance indicators so you can see exactly how your rental is performing against similar properties in the market. This way, you’ll always be in the loop!

4. Are your management services for anyone in the New Orleans area with a short-term rental?

No. We invest heavily in marketing our brand and, therefore, the units under our management to ensure we obtain the best possible results for all our clients. Part of this means that the units in our portfolio meet specific standards. 

Some of the things we consider when meeting with potential new clients are the location of the unit, the quality of the unit itself (finishes, fixtures, and no lingering maintenance issues, etc.), the quality of the furnishings and decor, and whether the service offerings we provide will exceed the needs and expectations of the potential client.
