For property owners

You're already doing this yourself.
Let's do it better.

You handle the calendar, the cleaner, the awkward 11pm messages. Hand it to us — same house, same income going to you, none of the admin.

Self-managing hosts in this corridor typically leave 20–35%of revenue on the table. That's a market benchmark, not a guess — and it's the gap we close.
The 11pm problem

It's 11pm and the gate code doesn't work.

Self-managing is rarely about the money at first. It's about the twelve small interruptions a week that you can't delegate to anyone, because there's nobody else.

We answer instead. Guest messages, pricing, the cleaner, the plumber under €250 — the whole operation, run by a real local team.

Hi! We've just pulled up but the gate keypad isn't responding…

22:41 · Guest

Sorry, can I swap Friday? Something has come up.

23:02 · Cleaner

Also is there a travel cot? Booked for 4 but we are 5.

23:15 · Guest

Reminder: your rate for August is below market average.

All four handled by 23:19. You were asleep.

The gap

A fifth to a third of the revenue, left on the table.

A market benchmark for this corridor, not a guess. Same house, same owner — run properly, priced against live demand.

Managed by Sos Stays

Repriced daily against live demand — the same market data (AirDNA) and automated tools short-term rental pros use.

Self-managed listing

One rate, set by hand and rarely revisited — it doesn't move with the market underneath it.

How it works

Exactly what handing off looks like

15–30%

Commission only

Of gross booking revenue. Cleaning fees excluded. No setup fee, no monthly retainer.

€0

No booking, no fee

We only get paid when your property does. Nothing owed on empty nights.

€250

Maintenance authority

We handle anything up to €250 without bothering you. Above that, we call first.

Your call

Cleaning

Keep your existing cleaner, or we source one from our network. Either way, it's covered.

Still your property

Block off personal-use dates any time you like. No minimum commitment — stay as long as it's working for you, leave when it isn't.

We take that off your hands. Full property management — guest communication, pricing, cleaning coordination, maintenance — for a single commission on what you actually earn per night. No setup fee, no monthly retainer, no contract that locks you in if it's not working.
This isn't a marketing agency bolt-on. We run the entire operation end to end, not just your listing photos or pricing calendar — every guest message, every check-in, every cleaner handoff, every repair call. You stay in control of the property; we handle everything that isn't the property itself.

Who we work with

Let your place earn properly, without doing the work yourself

Heading off, moving, or just done answering guest messages at 11pm — we take it over. Local pricing that moves with real demand, a cleaner who knows the property, and a real guest-facing team who make people want to book direct and come back. You still see everything and decide anything that matters.

  • Full-service Airbnb and short-term let management, start to finish
  • A genuine guest-facing brand around your property, not just a listing
  • Dynamic pricing that responds to local demand, not a fixed rate
  • A real local team, not a call centre, whenever a guest needs something

93% occupancy uplift

Confirmed result after repricing — occupancy went from 31% to 60% in August, Rathescar Grove's first month under management.

FAQ

The finer print, without the fuss

How does pricing work?

Commission-only — 15–30% of gross booking revenue, cleaning fees excluded. No setup fee, no monthly retainer, and nothing owed on empty nights since we only get paid when your property does.

Who handles maintenance and repairs?

We handle anything up to €250 without needing to check in with you first, so small issues get sorted fast. Above that, we call before doing anything.

Do I need to find my own cleaner?

No — keep your existing cleaner if you'd like, or we can source one from our network. Either way, it's covered.

Can I still use the property myself?

Yes. Block off personal-use dates any time you like. There's no minimum commitment — stay as long as it's working for you, leave when it isn't.

What happens after I get in touch?

A short call, then a walkthrough of the property in person, a plain-terms agreement with the commission rate confirmed, and handover — your listing goes live and the calendar becomes ours to run.
