Yes. Cleaning and proper preparation of the property are core parts of running a rental. We can coordinate cleaning and turnover schedules so the property is ready for every new arrival.

We help log, communicate and follow up on technical issues. We keep the owner informed about the problem, the steps needed and how it's progressing, so no important issue is left without follow-up.

The cost depends on the type of property, the level of service and how much day-to-day support it needs. When we discuss working together, we explain the fee structure, what's included and which costs may be charged separately.

We can work with you either on a full management package or on specific services, depending on the needs of the property and the owner.

Owner Control and Getting Started

What owners can expect in terms of communication, flexibility, and how to begin working together.

A local company can offer direct coordination, closer oversight of the property and faster handling of practical issues. In Chania, local presence helps especially with hosting, cleaning, maintenance and dealing with the unexpected.

Yes. Personal use of the property can be scheduled through clear arrangements and updating the calendar in good time.

The first step is a conversation about the property, your goals and the kind of support you need. We then look at the property's needs and present the model of working together that suits it best, with clear services and clear terms.
