The practice involves entrusting privately-owned properties in a specific mountainous region to a third party for management and rental purposes. The homeowner retains ownership, while the management entity handles marketing, booking, guest services, and maintenance. The revenue generated is then split according to a pre-agreed upon agreement between the homeowner and the management company. A typical scenario might involve a luxury residence situated near recreational areas being offered to vacationers through a specialized rental agency.
This method allows property owners to generate income from their assets without the day-to-day burden of property management. It provides potential for increased occupancy rates and higher rental income compared to self-managed rentals. Historically, this model has proven effective in resort areas with high seasonal demand, leveraging the expertise of established rental companies to optimize revenue and minimize owner involvement. Furthermore, professional management often leads to better property upkeep and guest satisfaction.
