Why choose an Airbnb concierge for your mountain chalet?

Do you own a property in Megève, Les Arcs, or Les Deux Alpes that you would like to rent out? Using the services of an Airbnb concierge like Welkeys can save you a tremendous amount of time and make the process significantly easier. Here are the 5 main benefits you will enjoy by delegating the rental of your mountain property to us.

‍

1 - Secure rentals, even from a distance

Today, some of our homeowner clients live abroad or in regions far from their secondary residences. Renting them out would normally require finding available, trustworthy people to handle every step of the rental process: property inspections, key handovers, guest support, and more. This is a significant responsibility that can quickly become a headache if managed poorly. How can you have peace of mind when you aren't sure someone will be there if a problem arises?

‍

Thanks to our full-service management offer, you can entrust your property to a team of professionals who manage Airbnb rentals every day. You can rest easy, even from hundreds or thousands of miles away. Furthermore, although our headquarters are in the capital, our partners are numerous and present in many cities across France: Bordeaux, Montpellier, Lyon, Nice, and more. We oversee a total of about twenty destinations!

‍

The services offered by Welkeys are perfectly suited to your needs, as a mountain chalet is very rarely a primary residence.

2 - Save time…

As mentioned earlier, renting out an apartment or house can be extremely time-consuming, especially when it comes to short-term rentals during peak season. In these cases, stays follow one another quickly and sometimes last no longer than a week. With frequent turnover, the logistical aspects naturally multiply. That is why we take care of everything at Welkeys!

‍

From creating your listing to welcoming guests, including managing cleaning and linens, your Airbnb concierge supports you from A to Z. No need to count the hours spent on the logistical and financial management of your property; we organize professional photo shoots, respond to all reviews left on booking platforms, and become a primary point of contact for both you and your tenants.

‍

3 - … and money!

By choosing to trust our teams, you also maximize your chances of significantly optimizing your rental income. Whether for short-term or medium-term rentals, your journey with Welkeys begins with an occupancy estimate and a revenue projection prepared by us.

‍

Since a mountain chalet is an ideal property for seasonal rentals, it is important to adjust prices not only for the season but also for the various cultural, sporting, and other events that are likely to attract a large number of visitors and spectators. These elements represent real added value for your property, which you must use to your advantage. We are committed to closely monitoring market trends, current events, and attendance rates to adjust nightly rates accordingly. For example, it is clear that prices will be at their peak during the Tomorrowland Winter festival, which takes place in Alpe d'Huez in March and attracts an international audience. This saves you extra time and allows you to maximize your income stay after stay. The nightly rate is, in fact, a significant advantage of short-term rentals.

4 - Gain more visibility

At Welkeys, we create your listing in both French and English and then use multi-channel distribution. Your property will be visible on our site club.welkeys.com as well as on Airbnb and Booking for seasonal rentals. This is a range of internationally recognized platforms that we hope to expand in the coming months.

‍

Is your chalet located near a resort that often hosts corporate seminars or business travelers? In that case, we adapt to this target audience and can also list your property on the Magic Stay website, our partner specializing in business travel. By doing this, you will quickly gain visibility and be able to welcome travelers from all over the world!

5 - Keep free access to your home

At Welkeys, we support you while letting you manage your calendar as you see fit. You can rent out your property during the periods you choose and stay in your home whenever you like. This way, you maintain easy access to your property throughout the duration of the contract. Our teams are here to advise you on the best times to rent!
