PROPERTY LISTED FOR SALE
When a property goes on the market, current and future guests must know and understand the risks. Here are the steps we take with listings, website and guest communications. Each owner may choose to handle visibility on the listing platforms in their own way. With Airbnb, Cona will not open the calendar further out than what is guaranteed, unless the owner agrees to share the offer to purchase, because that is the only way for Cona to avoid penalties for cancelling a reservation. With VRBO, always select Guest cancelled, and there are no penalties when cancelling a guest stay. Once the property gets listed, management will have a conversation with the owner about how they wish to handle bookings going forward to be able to maximize their earnings while still avoiding penalities in the event of a sale.
