Here is how we finally did it. I listed the new owner as a co-host, and he took care of all correspondence, follow ups, check ins, etc. I would communicate to him if I had anything to offer, but he did an amazing job. I didn’t cancel anyone who’d booked when I owned the property, but the minute airbnb paid me for the tenant, I sent a check to the new owner. In the meantime, he listed the apartments on VRBO and when people inquired, he sent them there. When my last tenant was done and paid and refunded to the new owner, I de-listed the property. I can tell you that the new owner is doing an AMAZING job of taking care of tenants. He also made me a co-host, which so far hasn’t required me to do anything, but as I told him, if I can help him in any way, I’m very happy to do so. He’s already made some nice improvements to the apartments, including a terrific Direct TV package and a lock-box for keys. It won’t be long before he and his wife are Super Hosts.
