Hayward STR owner stuck between low bookings and “full-service” management that isn’t
I’m running a short-term rental in Hayward and I’m overwhelmed by the day-to-day: pricing swings, guest messages at odd hours, cleaner coordination, and keeping reviews solid. I’ve talked to a couple “full-service” managers, but the fees and contract terms feel confusing, and I can’t tell who will actually improve occupancy vs just list it and hope. How do you evaluate managers here?

Before signing, dig into the “unsexy” parts: who pays for restocking, how damage claims are handled, and whether they use dynamic pricing tools or manual tweaks. Also ask what happens if the relationship isn’t working—notice periods and exit fees matter.
