How our pricing works
Pinnacle Path charges a percentage of the revenue generated by the property. That aligns the incentive in the only direction that matters: we are paid more when you earn more, and we lose when we do not perform.
Some engagements are advisory rather than fully managed, and those are quoted differently — typically a fixed monthly fee for revenue management alone, with operations remaining with you or your existing local team.
What moves the fee up or down
Two properties in the same city can carry different rates for good reasons. The main drivers are how much operational work sits with us, how many properties are in the engagement, and how demanding the market is to run.
- Scope: revenue management only, or revenue plus full operations
- Portfolio size — rates step down as unit count rises
- Market complexity, licensing burden and local partner availability
- Property type and value: a staffed villa is not a studio apartment
- Whether photography, listing build and onboarding work are required
- Whether you already have cleaning, linen and maintenance in place
What is included in the management fee
Everything commercial and everything coordinating. Specifically: pricing strategy and daily rate management, listing creation and optimisation, channel distribution and synchronisation, guest communication, coordination of housekeeping and maintenance, and monthly owner reporting. There is no setup fee for standard onboarding.
What is billed separately
Third-party and property costs pass through at cost, shown on your monthly statement. These typically include cleaning and linen, consumables, maintenance and repairs, professional photography where a new shoot is needed, licensing or registration fees, insurance, and platform commissions charged by the booking channels themselves.
We do not take a hidden margin on supplier invoices.
Revenue management only, or full management
If you have a functioning local operation and only need the commercial engine, the revenue-management engagement is the cheaper route and often the higher-return one. If you are managing trades and turnovers from another country, full management usually costs less in practice than the revenue those gaps are quietly losing.
Portfolio and operator pricing
Owners with several properties, and property management companies buying revenue management for their own portfolio, are quoted on a portfolio basis. Pricing reflects total managed revenue rather than being applied per unit.
How to get a quotation
Send us the property or portfolio: location, property type, bedrooms, current listings if any, and what you want us to run. We come back with a scope and a fee, usually within two business days, and a free revenue audit showing what we believe the property should earn.
