How it works

Seven steps from first call to first payout

We start before you buy, because the building you pick decides most of what a short-term rental will earn.

  1. 15 minutes, by phone

    Discovery call

    We talk through your budget and goals, whether a Calgary short-term rental is the right fit, and what a realistic revenue projection looks like.

    Free, no obligation.

  2. Optional

    Buy the right property

    We help you find and buy it through our founder, Tristan Quiring, a Realtor® who works with investors, or you can bring a property you already own. Either way we check the bylaws, the board, the layout and the comps before you commit.

  3. During possession

    Approvals and licensing

    We walk you through the City of Calgary short-term rental licence, insurance and condo STR fees, and help with board approval where your building needs it.

    You hold the licence. We prepare everything around it.

  4. Before launch

    Design and furnishing

    A furnishing package designed for guests, photos and longevity, sourced and set up for you. Any renovations or pre-launch repairs are quoted by our trades.

  5. Go-live week

    Launch

    Professional photos including drone, listings on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and our direct site, smart lock, noise monitor and door camera installed, house rules matched to your building, pricing set from day one.

  6. Ongoing

    Day-to-day management

    All guest messaging, every booking screened, cleaning managed, repairs and maintenance coordinated, consumables restocked, rates adjusted daily, and someone at your AGMs.

  7. Every month

    Earn

    Payouts land straight in your account, and you get one clear statement every month. You keep the income, we keep it running.

Tap any item for details.

24/7 guest messaging and support

Every guest question answered, day or night, from check-in instructions to a lost fob, so you never get the 2 a.m. call.

Dynamic pricing, adjusted daily

Rates move with demand, Calgary events and the seasons, and minimum stays are set to your building's rules.

Listings on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, direct and more

We write, photograph and set up your listings, keep them sharp on every channel, and sync them all to one calendar.

Guest screening

Every booking is reviewed before it's confirmed, and house rules are written around your building.

Cleaning management

We schedule every turnover, set the standard, check the work, and handle linens and restocking between guests.

Repairs and maintenance

We coordinate trusted handymen and trades as your agent, billed at cost with no markup, get quotes for bigger jobs, and keep you in the loop.

Minut noise monitors

Sensors alert our team to noise early, with a set protocol for after-hours alerts, so a party doesn't turn into a complaint or a strike.

Blink door cameras

Exterior cameras add security at the entrance and help us confirm arrivals.

Keyless access

Smart locks and buzzer software for smooth check-ins, and a record of every arrival.

Regular unit inspections

Routine checks on condition, so small issues get fixed before a guest ever notices.

All guest consumables

Toiletries, paper products, coffee and the basics, restocked so guests never run out.

AGMs and your board

We attend AGMs and work with boards to keep short-term rentals welcome in your building.

Licensing and compliance

We help keep your City licence, insurance and building STR forms in order.

Free onboarding

No onboarding fee. We set up your listings, pricing, house rules and guest messaging at no charge. Furnishing and photography are quoted separately if you need them.

Monthly reporting

One clear statement each month showing your bookings, payouts, our fee and cleaning.

Compare the all-in cost

A lower fee isn't always a lower bill

Many managers quote a lower percentage, then bill guest supplies, monitoring devices and repair markups on top. Move the slider to what your property earns and see the all-in cost side by side.

What never shows up on an invoice

The work that protects your property and your building. Ask any manager whether these are included before you compare percentages.

  • Free onboardingListings, pricing, house rules and guest messaging set up at no charge.
  • AGMs and your condo boardWe attend AGMs for you, two to three hours each year, and work with boards to keep STRs welcome.
  • Licensing and complianceHelp with your City licence, insurance and building STR forms.
  • Regular unit inspectionsSmall issues get fixed before a guest ever notices.
  • 24/7 local supportGuests can reach someone local, any hour of the day.
  • Repairs billed at costTrusted handymen and trades, with no markup added.

Estimates for comparison only. Extras are typical charges we've seen in the Calgary market; any manager's quote may differ, so untick whatever doesn't apply. Our 22% is charged on the nightly rate, never on cleaning fees. If another manager's percentage also applies to cleaning fees, their real rate is higher than shown.

Building intel

We know which buildings allow it, and which ones are about to stop

A City licence tells you someone got approved once. It doesn't tell you whether the board is about to vote in a ban.

We map every short-term rental licence in Calgary by building, read the bylaws, sit in on AGMs, and keep track of how each board feels about short-term rentals, so we hear about changes early.

What makes us say "don't buy that one"

  • A building with a short-term rental ban
  • A building trending toward one: unhappy long-term residents and no organized group of operators voting in friendly board members
  • A dated unit when there's no budget to update it

Walk away

Since April 2025 the City no longer requires condo board consent for a licence, so a licence on its own isn't clearance. The bylaws still apply.

Approvals and compliance

The paperwork that trips most new hosts up

Getting this wrong costs fines, strikes, or the whole listing. We've done it for every unit we run.

City business licence

We walk you through the City of Calgary short-term rental licence and get the unit ready for it. The licence is in your name.

Condo board approval

Where your building requires it, we help you through board approval and attend AGMs to speak for short-term rental owners.

Building rules and strikes

Many Calgary buildings run three-strike systems for noise, garbage, smoking and tailgating. House rules and guest messages are built around yours.

Insurance and STR fees

We tell you what coverage a short-term rental needs and flag any condo STR fees before they surprise you.

Noise and party prevention

Minut noise monitors and Blink door cameras on every unit, with a set protocol for after-hours alerts.

Access and security

Smart locks and buzzer software give guests keyless entry and give you a record of every arrival.
