Operations
Co-hosting
Co-hosting is an arrangement where a second party manages some or all of a listing's day-to-day operation on the owner's behalf — messaging, pricing, cleaning coordination — while the listing and the account remain the owner's.
Why Co-hosting matters for your revenue
Co-hosting suits owners who want operational relief without handing over the listing or the guest relationship. Responsibilities and the fee base should be written down, because platform tools alone do not define them.
