The Process

From assessment to revenue
in three steps

No long onboarding. No hidden setup fees. We move fast, and you start earning within weeks.

1
Free property assessment

We evaluate your property, estimate revenue potential, and recommend a management tier — with no commitment required. Most assessments take less than a week.

2
We handle everything

Professional listing creation, dynamic pricing, guest communication, cleaning coordination, and maintenance — all done for you. You stay informed without staying involved.

3
You collect the revenue

Monthly payouts with clear reporting. Your property earns more than going it alone — and you spend zero time managing it. That's the deal.

What We Handle

Full-service management,
without the corporate feel

A small, hands-on team — which means every property gets real attention, not a ticket queue.

  • 📸
    Listing creation & optimization
    Professional copy, photography direction, and placement across Airbnb, VRBO, and direct booking — built to rank and convert.
  • 💬
    Guest communication
    Rapid responses from inquiry through checkout. Every message handled to earn five-star reviews — and we follow up to make sure you get them.
  • 📊
    Dynamic pricing
    Nightly rates that respond to local demand, seasonality, and competitors — not a flat rate set at launch and forgotten.
  • 🛠️
    Maintenance & repairs
    Construction and trade experience means we diagnose problems ourselves and move faster than any property manager who just dispatches vendors.
  • 🧹
    Cleaning coordination
    Reliable turnover between every stay with quality checks built in — so the property guests arrive to matches the listing they booked.

What you keep

Your weekends — no guest calls, no emergency repair runs, no 11 PM messages
More revenue than self-managing — we optimize what you leave on the table
Visibility into your property's performance, any time you want it
One point of contact for everything — no juggling vendors or platforms
A custom digital guidebook that makes your guests feel taken care of

Revenue guarantee

If we don't outperform your previous 12 months of revenue, we waive our management fee. Simple as that.

Why Turnkey

What makes us different

🏗️
We fix things ourselves

Most property managers call a vendor and wait. Our team has hands-on construction and trade experience — we diagnose problems ourselves and move fast. Fewer hours between "something's broken" and "it's fixed."

Reviews are our KPI

Every decision — how quickly we respond, what's in the guidebook, how the turnover looks — is made to earn five stars. Good reviews compound. A 4.9 property outearns a 4.6 at the same price, every time.

📈
Pricing that moves

Most owners set a rate and leave it. We adjust nightly based on demand, local events, and competitor movement. The difference between active and passive pricing is real money — not a few percentage points.

How We Compare

TKMS vs. the alternatives

Self-managing takes more time than most owners expect. Big national companies take more money — and give less attention.

Management fee 0% (your time instead) 10–25% 25–35%
Revenue guarantee Outperform or we waive our fee
Guest response time Whenever you're available Under 5 minutes Hours (ticket queue)
Dedicated point of contact Direct line to Thomas Rotating support team
Dynamic pricing Rarely — flat rate or guesswork PriceLabs, adjusted daily Algorithm-only, no local context

Common Questions

What owners ask us first

Our fees range from 10% to 25% of gross revenue, depending on the property and the level of service you want. Full-service management — listings, guest communication, pricing, cleaning coordination, and maintenance — sits toward the higher end. If you only need help with part of the operation, we offer partial management at a lower rate. We'll give you an exact number after the free assessment, based on your specific property and situation.

Everything: professional listing creation and optimization across Airbnb and VRBO, dynamic nightly pricing, all guest communication from inquiry through checkout, cleaning coordination and quality checks, maintenance and repairs, and monthly revenue reporting. You also get a custom digital guest guidebook for your property. Your only job is to receive the monthly payout.

Most properties go live within 2–3 weeks of signing. We start with a property assessment, then handle listing photography direction, copy, and platform setup. Bookings typically start coming in within the first week of going live. Timeline depends on your property's readiness — if it's already guest-ready, we move fast.

We manage a wide range of property types — lakeside homes, mountain retreats, glamping sites, historic cabins, and urban flats. Our portfolio spans off-grid camping experiences to fully amenitized vacation homes. We're currently based in the Southeast and actively expanding to new markets. If you're not sure whether your property or location is a good fit, reach out — we're happy to give you an honest answer.

None. There's no cost to get started and no lock-in. Our contracts are month-to-month — if you want to cancel, you can, with no penalties. We also offer a $250 referral bonus: send another property owner our way and when they sign with us, you get $250. No limit on referrals.

Yes. Owner blocks are easy to set — just let us know dates you want to hold and we'll keep them off the calendar. We just ask for reasonable advance notice so we're not pulling confirmed bookings.

Yes — we're actively expanding beyond our current markets. We started in North Carolina and have built a strong track record here, but we're set up to take on properties in new regions. If you have a property outside the Southeast, reach out and tell us about it. We evaluate new markets based on the property, the owner, and whether we can deliver the same level of service we're known for.
