Start with the home and the owner
Share the property address or neighborhood, current status and your goals. We discuss whether the home and local operating needs are a fit, rather than treating a city name as automatic eligibility.
Your priorities might include less day-to-day work, clearer reporting, more deliberate home care, a considered launch or a change from an existing manager. Tell us about owner stays and anything the property needs before it can host well.
Choose the relationship and responsibilities
Co-hosting and a rental lease partnership are separate arrangements. Discuss the exact scope, fees or rent, decision rights, preparation costs, vendor charges, approvals, reporting and end-of-agreement process before committing.
A useful proposal should make the boundaries clear: what is handled, what needs owner approval and which requirements remain with the owner. Confirm insurance, local rules and private restrictions with qualified advisers and the relevant authorities.
Prepare the home or plan the handoff
For a new launch, review furnishing, durable finishes, photography, arrival information, house systems, supplies and the standard for guest readiness. Identify vendors and equipment requirements before the first stay.
For a transition, inventory current bookings, listings, records, access credentials, supplies, vendors and contractual obligations. Agree who communicates with existing guests and how the handoff date will work. Do not assume listings or platform reviews automatically transfer.
Connect the operation to ongoing owner visibility
Guest communication, cleaning and maintenance coordination, quality checks and property records should support a consistent experience. Document approval thresholds and communication channels rather than improvising every repair decision.
Monthly reporting and owner-portal access are Hamera service categories; confirm the actual data and timing in your agreement. Review the calendar, costs, maintenance activity and owner-use needs together so the operating plan stays relevant.
