Market expertise

Market expertise tuned to Austin.

We're a Texas-based team that manages properties across Texas and beyond. We don't run every market on the same playbook — pricing, vendor networks, and guest experience are calibrated to what actually drives demand in each one we serve, including Austin.

01

Pricing calibrated to Austin events and seasons

We track the calendar that actually drives demand here — major events, festivals, business cycles, and shoulder seasons — and build pricing around it.

02

Vetted cleaning partners in every market

We hold our cleaning partners to a single standard across every market we serve. Reliable turnovers, consistent quality, fair pricing.

03

Guest experience built for Austin travelers

From the welcome guide to the local recs, every touchpoint is tuned to what guests actually come to Austin for.

The Oikos difference

We're not a platform. We're your co-host.

The big national property managers run a platform. We run a partnership. The difference shows up in the fees, in the communication, and in how much say you have over your own property.

Typical property manager
Hands-off
  • Flat 20–30% management fee, regardless of how the property performs
  • Hands-off model — you sign the contract and never hear from them again
  • Owner kept out of the loop on pricing, vendor decisions, and guest issues
  • Generic, algorithm-only pricing with no view of what's actually happening locally
  • Structure isn't designed with the owner's tax strategy in mind
Oikos co-hosting
Built around you
  • Transparent revenue split — we earn when your property earns
  • Owner stays involved: real visibility into operations, decisions explained, real human contact
  • Compatible with the STR tax strategy when you choose to materially participate
  • Pricing combines algorithmic data with on-the-ground market knowledge
  • A small, mission-driven team that treats your property as its own

What we handle

Co-hosting isn't co-managing. We run the operational floor of your short-term rental in Austin so you can focus on what matters to you.

Inquiry response, booking management, mid-stay support, and post-stay review handling — with you CC'd on the things you want to weigh in on.

02

Dynamic pricing

Market-aware nightly rate management with monthly strategy review. Pricing direction is set with you — we execute against it.

Maintenance oversight

Triage, vendor dispatch, and follow-up for everything from a stuck garbage disposal to a quarterly HVAC service.

Performance reporting

Monthly statements covering occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, and channel mix — formatted to drop into your books or accountant's workflow.

A clean record of operations so you and your CPA have what you need to support your own participation tracking.
