With the increase of vacation rental listing sites like Airbnb, more and more homeowners are looking for ways to stay competitive. As a property manager, we know all of the tricks to make your property stand out from the rest! Here are 7 ways you can refresh your home before renting it out on Airbnb:
Adding new fixtures or upgrading that old shower curtain will go a long way in making your bathroom feel brand new.
A fresh coat of paint is one thing, but if you really want to impress potential renters then try installing granite countertops or replacing those outdated appliances.
It’s no secret that many people look for homes with a unique style, so don’t be afraid to show some of your personal flair. You can do this by adding some art or reupholstering those dated couches!
This one goes without saying, but make sure you give your home a good scrubbing before any potential guests arrive. But don’t stop there – be sure to keep the property clean while it’s being rented out as well!
If you have pets, you understand how they’re part of the family. With more and more people traveling by car it’s important that your home be pet friendly. Make sure to include this in your listing’s description!
Make the property look new and updated. Include photos of different views of the space, especially ones that make it appear large or open. Pick an overall accent color or furniture type and stick to it. The more modern, the better your results when listing.
If you can’t think of anything else to do, consider adding a unique amenity or experience that potential renters won’t be able to find anywhere else. Game rooms, spas, and outdoor projectors are all popular.
