Make top dollar and earn 5-star reviews from your ideal Airbnb guests.
There are plenty of paid Airbnb cleaner and turnover services now that serve the host community, some nationally based and some local. Airbnb has even integrated Handy into their platform in some areas, like New York City. And they often do more than cleaning—they can take care of everything from washing the sheets to handing over the keys.
My general opinion, however, is that paid services are too impersonal for this particular kind of work.
Here’s why.
If you travel a lot, use a lockbox for your guest’s entry/exit, or otherwise are not able to meet your guests in person—how do you create a connection with them?
How do you make sure they feel confident, safe and satisfied—satisfied enough to write you a raving review filled with 5-stars across the board (particularly in Communication and Arrival)?
In this post, I’ll show you some easy ways to do just that.
If you live in your home and you’re leaving it up to you to do the cleaning and turnover before your guest arrives and before you head out of town (which you may decide to do whether or not you have a turnover assistant to help you when you’re not around, to save money or for other reasons), here are some things to remember.
Hi there! First, I want to say thank you for being here and reading my work. I truly appreciate you! One of my current focuses is expanding and connecting the community here at The Abundant Host, and some of the ways

Hi everyone! I’ve been super happy writing this book for you on finding, hiring, training, managing and keeping your super awesome houseturnover assistant.
Your success, freedom and profitability through Airbnb is directly affected by the quality of work your houseturnover assistant does.
Since I’m doing a promotion right now where the first 25 people who buy my book will get it for $8.99, I wanted to bullet-point just one of five hefty sections in the book so you know what you’re getting!
Your success, freedom and profitability through Airbnb is directly affected by the quality of work your houseturnover person does.

Often, Airbnb hosts have to type the same messages over and over again. As an Abundant Host, of course, you personalize each one… but there are some sentences we just can’t help but repeat.
Airbnb has a solution for this (in the phone app, at least), that not many people know about! Here, I’ll tell you how to use it and save yourself tons of time re-typing the same things (and you can even stop opening a different app like Notes or Evernote where you might already be copying and pasting your oft-sent messages).
Many new hosts start off thinking their place needs to be sparse with no hint of personality. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
Here’s how I almost missed out on nearly $400 in profit thanks to Airbnb’s pricing recommendations. Bottom line? Your intuition + research + knowledge of your city is much more useful to you than Airbnb’s pricing recommendations.
