The big co-hosting companies are built for volume. We’re built for your property.
Evolve and Vacasa will list your home on Airbnb and take their cut. What they won’t do is answer the phone at 11pm when a pipe bursts, or tell you which months you left money on the table. We do both.
You send a message. You get an auto-reply. Your property has a problem — and the people managing it are unreachable. That’s not management. That’s a listing service.
The big companies set a rate and forget it. Meanwhile your property sits empty on a weekend when Austin has a concert and F1 tickets sold out months ago. The revenue you lost doesn’t show up on any report they send you.
A PDF with one number isn’t a report. You deserve to know every booking, every expense, every payout — and what’s coming next month.
That’s the whole point.
Evolve manages tens of thousands of properties across the country. At that scale, your home is a listing number. At Oikos, you get Brendan’s cell phone number.
We partner with Synergy Stays for revenue management on every property — rates adjusted daily based on local events, competitor rates, and demand signals. When Austin has Formula 1 weekend, your rate reflects it. When January is slow, we protect occupancy.
Every guest message, every maintenance issue, every 11pm “there’s no hot water” text — handled by our team, within minutes. Guest response time under 10 minutes on every property we manage.
We generate a full owner statement every month: every booking, every expense, every payout — reconciled and delivered before you think to ask. No digging through dashboards.
We co-host. That means you stay on title, you own the revenue, and we invoice for our work. You’re not handing your property to a company — you’re getting a property partner.
My properties have taken off with bookings and excellent reviews. Way better than the prior property manager I had. They really invest in my property like it is their own.
Brendan and his team helped me start and launch my very first short-term rental. From their patience in explaining STR management to the expertise they bring — professional all the way.
Oikos provided me with amazing work amidst a tough property to manage. Always available, positive attitude, fast communicator, honest, and loves solving problems. I recommend.
Book a 30-minute call. We’ll pull your property’s comps, estimate what it could earn under professional management, and tell you exactly what we’d do differently. No cost. No pressure.
Professional photography direction, listing creation across Airbnb, VRBO, and Hospitable direct booking. Dynamic pricing live from day one. You approve everything.

We make money when you make money. That’s it.
Evolve charges 10% — but layered with marketplace and owner fees that add up to 15–25% of your gross. We charge 12.5%, flat, and we’re on call when things go sideways.
Want to know what your property could actually earn? We’ll run the numbers for free.
Get your free property analysis →We’re a faith-driven business. Not in a way that shows up in our pricing or on every page — in the way we actually operate. With honesty when it’s inconvenient. With care that goes beyond what’s in the contract. With a portion of what we earn going toward mission work around the world.
If that matters to you, you’re in the right place. If it doesn’t, that’s fine too — your property will still perform, your guests will still be taken care of, and you’ll still know exactly how every dollar moved.
We’ll pull the market comps for your area, tell you what similar properties are earning under professional management, and walk you through exactly what Oikos would do with your home.
