Avoid Lost Income – Switch Fast
One of the biggest concerns when a short-let platform goes offline is revenue loss. Every day your property sits inactive is money left on the table. You can easily check your estimated revenue with the Services of Smarthost by clicking on our Short-let Calculator.
Smarthost eliminates this risk by offering:
- Same-week onboarding
- Instant relisting on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and more
- Dynamic pricing to maximise earnings
- Guest screening and professional hosting
We understand time is money, especially in the short-let world. That’s why we’ve developed a plug-and-play transition process for former Homelike clients. We do all the heavy lifting — from migrating your listing data to setting up new guest communications — so you can start earning immediately.
