PHOTOGRAPHER FAQ
1. WHAT MAKES HOSPITALITY KINGS BETTER FROM OTHER COMPANIES?
Hospitality kings team works hard to improve vacation rental management. We put our energy on marketing and booking the home, and give our owners the flexibility to configure on-the-ground services to their liking.
A lot of companies charge 30-50% of an owner’s rental income in exchange for providing a “full-service” management solution. But in some cases, the average manager lacks the resources and expertise to effectively promote a property. They also charge exorbitant commissions for on-the-ground services that have nothing to do with convincing travelers to book the home. With Hospitality Kings, vacation rental management results easy and lucrative, all for an industry-low booking fee of just 20%.
2. WHAT DOES HOSPITALITY KINGS HAVE TO OFFER TO HOMEOWNERS?
Hospitality Kings’ strategy for vacation rental management is different from other companies in the area. We offer all homeowners:
