[01] The facts/ The sales market
Stop living by the cycle. Sales come in waves; your costs don’t.
An agency lives on the number of sales it signs. When rates rise, that number falls, and your fees with it.
Short-term rentals pay every month.
- 20216.12 million
- 20244.06 million
Since its October 2022 peak, the National Association of Realtors has lost about 200,000 members.

[02] What you gain/ Three reasons
Short-term rentals work for your whole agency.
- Revenue every monthYour management fees come in every month, whether sales go up or down.
- Your owners, every monthEvery statement carries your name. The day they sell or buy, you are the one they call.
- Properties that sell on their yieldA property for sale with its revenue statements speaks to investors: you no longer sell square metres alone, you sell a yield.
[03] For your owners/ Five arguments
Your owners gain too.
- A far better returnRented by the night, with prices reviewed every day, a property earns far more than on a classic unfurnished or furnished lease.
- A well-kept propertyProfessional cleaning after every stay: the property is put back in shape between guests.
- No unpaid rentGuests pay for their booking before they arrive. No rent to chase.
- No three-year leaseNo tenant settled in for years: every stay has an end date.
- Their home whenever they wantThey block their dates and enjoy their property, without waiting for a lease to end.

FAQ/ Your questions
Frequently asked questions
Another question? Write to us, or browse our FAQ page.
Do I need a professional licence?
Managing the rental of a property on behalf of its owner, collecting the rent included, falls under the Hoguet law. If your agency already manages rentals, you hold the licence it takes (the carte G). If not, we talk about it on the call.
I have no cleaning team. What do I do?
Your local partner handles cleaning and keys, and receives their tasks in ZenHost. No partner yet? We help you find one near your properties. With a smart lock, guests receive their code and let themselves in.
Under what name does your team work?
Your agency’s: our team answers your guests and prepares your owners’ statements in your name. The relationship stays yours.
How much do I earn?
You set your fees with your owners, as for a management mandate. Our share depends on your portfolio: we work it out with you on the call, along with what you keep per property.
I am an independent agent. Is this for me?
A management mandate is signed under the carte G of an agency or of your network. If your network does property management, let’s talk. Without a carte G, you can also launch a concierge service: only the way it works changes. The income goes straight to the owner and you invoice them for your service. Write to us and we will look at it together.
What if I want to run it myself?
That’s the AI Back-Office offer: your agency runs our software and AI agents itself, without our team. We show you both on the call.
Am I committed for a set period?
No, the offer has no commitment: you stop whenever you want. Your mandates and your owners remain yours.
