Adjusted my auto pricing tool to fill for last minute bookings per your suggestion. Definitely has helped make more $ for supplies and little repairs. The reduced price can feel off putting but you have to think about selling time and if no one has booked you are getting $0 for the same time. The smaller booking fees add up, keep the cleaners busy, and help pile on great reviews when the guest feels they received an exceptional value.
I would feel slightly uncomfortable lowering prices only for the factors of having a big house and big yard that may make it too accessible to party planners
Exactly. I calculated my base cost per night: utility costs, maintenance, cleaning etc so I know just how low I can adjust my prices to avoid vacancies while still being profitable. I alwasy say that it's better to make a few bucks than no bucks.

Watched all Sean’s vids when I got started a couple years ago. Thanks to him, I now have 6 successful listings and working on my 7th. I just bing watched a bunch of his vids after not watching for a while and I rediscovered why he’s so valuable to my business! Oh and I notice he now has the physic of “The Rock” - good job!
Hosting for 9 years & still learning from you Sean! You're a rock star businessman to us hosts out here! The great info. You share is so insightful & tremendously appreciated! My exciting Thursday night is watching your videos :-D Now I'm going to implement these tips!
SEO and pricing strategy are my favorite topics from you, it seems they are really what separate an amateur from a professional. I see so many Airbnb hosts not use these techniques and still do well
Great content. I have 4 soon to be 9 listings near Fredericksburg Texas which you have mentioned in your videos. Fredericksburg in discussion about limiting AirBnbs in the city limits.
I completely agree with you in everything but reviews sometimes are out of control. I have apartments and houses on airbnb. Right now we have 65 properties. Apartments are much easier to get good reviews than houses because is more people renting houses to have parties and events. They always lied and when you kicking them out because they broke your house rules still can write a review 1 star saying things that aren't true. Also in California I have houses 5 bedrooms but the city doesn't allow me to host more than 6 guest in a time. Thanks for everything you are sharing with us!!
I'm considering getting into Airbnb as a side hustle and had a thought. To improve ranking and visibility, has anyone tried getting your friends and family to enjoy a 'free stay" (they pay the full amount and you reimburse them after) at your listing? So, they create account (if they don't already have one, preferably they WILL have one) they book and stay however many nights. Leave a great review. Then offline, you send them a check for the amount they spent. You could even just give them a crazy discount - so reimburse 80% of the total. They get a cheap get away and you don't die trying to pay up $1,00 just to get good reviews, etc. Host would have to absorb both the service and cleaning fee (from your cleaners), but I'd imagine if you get a good 8-10 bookings and reviews, this would be super helpful for gaining some traction in the algorithm. Any thoughts?
Hi Sean, do you recommend for the first month or two to lower rates to increase occupancy, therefore getting a boost from the algorithm & getting the rare find badge?
@@HappyCalmFree it's called House Collective, an Australian based company operating on the Hawkesbury and Central Coast area, although I do have properties also in Sydney area!
@@HappyCalmFree Thank you for your question. It is a company specifically for people who want to do Airbnb but don't have the time. I manage properties on behalf of other people.
Hi Sean just started my Airbnb journey and follow your videos closely. How many photographs is a good number to have for a listing with five bedrooms a study and an extensive outdoor waterfront? Thank you.
Excellent info ty Sean. Question, we are opening a new Airbnb in the same town we have a very highly ranked Airbnb already. Would you advise creating a new Airbnb account for it to protect against our account being banned in total, just in case, or tie it to our existing account to leverage our high reviews?
I def think use your existing account because you already have authority and ranking. As long as it’s a good quality listing (the new place) I would def have them benefit from each other. The new listing ranking could also boost your other property.
The owner of the listing created 4 months ago handed it over to me (I’m a co-host): it’s dead and has only 1 review and no bookings. Do you think we should delete it and start over for a New listing boost? Is it even allowed to recreate the listing with the same address and listing owner? Thanks!
Sean, please can you do a video on the Disney Magic you spoke about in a previous video? I was a bartender for 15 years & people are my jam... I'd love to hear your ways!! 🤞
When your airbnb is a single family home, do you have any videos talking about good colors to paint the exterior of the house, garage door, frontdoor, etc, to give a good impression as well in the pictures ?
Fantastic quick hitter Sean. I love your passion and knowledge sharing! I'm going to dig into my listings for amenities listed and update my copy with calls to action. I would like to engineer some occupancy by swapping my love seat for a pull out or adding a trundle bed. Which would you prefer for a 2 bed studio?
Great info and channel! Subscribed! I’m curious why did you decide that how much time the person spent checking listing is one of the factors for Airbnb algorithm to pump the listing up? This one is difficult to prove or am I missing something
Great content as always. Quick question. I sent a message to your clarity account yesterday prior to booking a call. Should I just book the call first? Let me know. Looking forward to speaking with you. Mark
Hi, I want to start off by saying thank you for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to make these videos for us. I've been watching (and subscribe to your channel) because my wife and I have a studio/casita attached to our house and plan to give Airbnb a try. After watching this video and listening to the great tips. I have a question, does Airbnb let you put a link on the descriptions box?
I'm a new home owner and I'm currently using a property management team that only handles the pricing for our unit. They used to manage the cleaning but I handle that now also. What would be the best way to handle the pricing? I'm worried I won't price it right and therefore get less bookings. Any advice for a newbie?
are airbnb properties required to satisfy all the same safety requirements that you would need to obtain CO for purchasing a property? in particular outdoor railings for concrete steps etc
There isn’t a Vs there, fun fact: First learn Dynamic Pricing. THEN, you have the option of facilitating your pricing with a software. Such as Pricelabs (but I prefer wheelhouse)
How do you deal with people who are disruptive immediately upon arrival, then complain (about other stuff) after you ask them to keep the noise down at 4am? I basically knew they would write a not great review, and they did.
You would call Airbnb ahead of time you tell them they violated your house rules and because you had to enforce your house rules they are likely to leave a retaliatory review and you’d like to stop this ahead of time
What about Instant Booking and relaxed cancellation polices? Since COVID, I relaxed my cancellation policy only to have it backfire. I now have Travelers cancelling for no good reason. One recently did so because my property does not have a pool, but it never did?! I'm tempted to go back to a strick no refund policy.
Any input on how the number of views to booking conversion affects ranking? I agree views are important but if very few guest convert how will that affect your rank?
Booking conversion swings based on how full your calendar is so it’s hard to pin down that number if your calendar is already 70% booked on average your conversion number will be lower than if you are 15% off than average
I have a list of 7 apartment complexes in Dallas, TX that allow for corporate leasing. I am looking to sell it to 10 people, so I can fund my next unit. Let me know if you’re interested.

Only if you think there are aspects to your new one that won’t perform well. You shouldn’t worry about multiple accounts until you have 40+ units
I def think use your existing account because you already have authority and ranking. As long as it’s a good quality listing (the new place) I would def have them benefit from each other. The new listing ranking could also boost your other property.

I guess it does work anymore
So has anyone jus had no stays booked? Jw I feel there's value in seeing the some of the not so good thanks great stuff!
Is there a way to have an expensive one night stay…a normal price 2 night stay…as well as the weekly and monthly discounts being different?

Try strict with the 10% Discount
I have 2 units & have been hosting since the beginning of "time" (that "time" being the beginning of Airbnb). I have ALWAYS used the strict setting.
