Transforming a Luxury Property into a Booking Powerhouse
At the end of 2023, our client reached out to us while working with Sotheby’s, knowing his beautiful property had the potential to bring in way more revenue. Despite its stunning appeal, the property wasn’t earning as much as it could. That’s when he decided to trust Host & Stay to relist the property from scratch on Airbnb and VRBO, and give it the full makeover it needed to start boosting bookings and revenue.
