How Much Do Airbnb Property Managers Charge? (Hudson Valley Edition)

If you’re considering handing over your Hudson Valley Airbnb to a professional property manager, you’re probably wondering: how much does it actually cost? Let’s break down average fees, what’s included, and how Columbia County hosts can find the best value.

What Do Airbnb Property Managers Typically Charge?

Most property managers charge a percentage of your rental income.

• Industry Range: Full-service Airbnb property management usually runs 15–25% of gross revenue (AirDNA).

• Wider Spectrum: Depending on the property and service level, fees can fall anywhere from 10% for partial service to as high as 35–40% for premium or all-inclusive management (Uplisting, GoSummer, Minoan).

• Hudson Valley Note: In smaller rural markets like Columbia County, fees often lean toward the mid to lower end of the range, while managers who handle luxury homes with pools, hot tubs, or multiple units may charge toward the higher end.

What’s Included in Management Fees?

• Guest Communication – 24/7 messaging and support.

• Turnover Management – Cleaning teams, linens, and supply restocks.

• Dynamic Pricing – Software-driven rate optimization; properties with dynamic pricing can earn up to 40% more annually (Guesty).

• Maintenance Coordination – From small fixes to urgent emergencies.

What Extra Fees Should You Watch Out For?

• Technology Fees – Some managers charge separately for smart locks, pricing software, or automation tools.

• Site Visit Fees – Inspections, deliveries, or late-night emergencies may add to the bill.

• Linen/Inventory Fees – Extra for laundry or restocking consumables.

Always ask for a transparent fee breakdown so you know exactly what’s included. Understanding pricing is important, but choosing the right Hudson Valley Airbnb management services often has a much bigger impact on revenue and guest experience.

How to Decide If It’s Worth It

If management increases your occupancy, boosts revenue, and improves guest reviews, the service often pays for itself — and then some. For example, studies show professionally managed Airbnbs can earn ~18% higher occupancy and ~20% more daily revenue than DIY-hosted properties.
