12% Management Fee
Focus on Net Owner Income (NOI)
Your current 20% management fee is your largest variable expense. Our 12% fee instantly lowers this cost by over half while leveraging enterprise technology.
Why Choose Our Management?
Maximize your NOI with transparent economics and enterprise-grade service.
Transparent 12% Fee
Designed to deliver higher NOI by maximizing revenue and eliminating hidden costs. No separate technology or service fees.
Zero Maintenance Markup
You pay the direct, verifiable cost for all repairs. We never add a markup to maintenance invoices, ensuring our incentive is cost-effectiveness.
24/7 Dashboard
Real-time access to booking forecasts, revenue breakdowns, and monthly P&L statements delivered by your Portfolio Manager.
Clean math. No hidden line items.
We believe in a radical lack of complexity. Every dollar is accounted for, and our 12% fee is the only management expense you will ever see from us.
KIKS.com Direct Booking
Zero OTA commissions. Optimized for maximum yield.
Net Owner Remittance
87.1%
The "Owner-First" Difference
While other managers keep the "Guest Fee" or markup linens, we pass 100% of ancillary revenue (like early check-in fees) directly to you.
Zero Maintenance Markup
If a plumber charges $200, you pay $200. We provide the original invoice. Most managers add 15-20% on top—we never do.
Monthly P&L Delivery
On the 10th of every month, receive a simplified, executive-ready P&L statement showing your asset's net performance.
* OTA bookings (Airbnb/Vrbo) are subject to platform commissions (3%-15%) prior to our 12% fee. We optimize dynamic pricing to offset these platform costs.
Omnipresence without the overhead.
We manage your property across multiple booking platforms through our integrated Property Management System. This ensures consistent availability and pricing across all channels.
Integrated PMS Management
Our Property Management System handles multichannel distribution, ensuring your property stays synchronized across booking platforms with reliable availability management.
