Straight answers to what owners ask first.
The fee
How much does Simply charge?
Our standard fee is 25% of rental revenue.
What the fee covers: pricing, plus your listing on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Marriott Homes & Villas and Capital One Travel.
Your free estimate shows it line by line: rental revenue, our fee and what’s paid to you.
How is my estimate worked out?
Our estimate starts from AirDNA market data for your town (March 2025 to February 2026), trims it 15% to stay conservative, then adjusts for bedrooms, property type and amenities. The with-Simply figure assumes our pricing lifts occupancy 12 points and nightly rate 8%. Your results will differ.
Leaving
Is there a long-term contract?
No. There’s no long-term contract.
The guarantee
What is the revenue guarantee?
If your home earns less in its first 12 months with us than in the 12 months before, we pay you the difference, up to every dollar of management fees you paid us that year, within 30 days of your first-year statement. For homes with 12+ months of rental history.
See the guarantee termsMy home has never been rented. Am I covered?
No. New purchases and homes never rented aren’t covered, because there’s no past year to compare.
Cleaning and guests
Who cleans and checks the home between guests?
On Mt. Hood, a dedicated cleaning team scheduled by us cleans every home we host, and tests and balances the hot tub at every turnover. We handle snow, firewood and freeze checks. In Portland, our cleaning team, Cleanly, handles turnovers.
How are guests screened, and what if something gets damaged?
Getting started
How does getting started work?
Start with your free estimate. Then go over your home’s numbers on a free 30-minute call, and decide.
My home is already on Airbnb, or with another manager. Can I switch?
Yes. We start when your current agreement ends. Reviews usually stay with the account that holds the listing; we’ll tell you up front what carries over.
More on switchingCan you help furnish or stage my home?
Yes. Our affiliated companies, What’s New Furniture and Greylyn Wayne, handle furniture selection, custom interior design and staging. Good staging and photos help a listing stand out in search.
