Vrbo or Airbnb do not allow the transfer of existing bookings. You have a few options to consider if the new owners wishes to keep the future bookings. Whatever process you decide to take with the future buyer make sure it is well documented. To avoid confusion, a contract must detail any bookings or transfers. Let's now look at some alternatives:
If you are not willing to sacrifice all the hardwork and achievements that you have made for your Airbnb business, especially if Superhost status was achieved, you could consider selling the property and continuing to manage the Airbnb property. You don't have to alter your bank information. All you need is to keep your Airbnb URL and reviews.
SaaS (Software as a Service) is a popular option for vacation rental companies. These vacation rental management tools may or might not offer seamless transfer to a buyer. These digital assets may be attractive to potential buyers if you are able to transfer your account.
It is tempting to get too confident and price your home high in hopes of someone buying it. This will give you an extra profit. Research has shown that overpriced houses take longer for sellers and are more costly to maintain during the transition period.
You may have decided earlier to include your vacation rental assets as part the sale. Now it is time for you to prepare them to transfer. It could simply be sending copies to your realtor. It can be as simple as emailing copies to your real estate agent.
In a similar fashion to the one described, you might consider adding a professional property manager to help manage your bookings.
To market your business, you can gather the top reviews on Airbnb that mention your property. Reviews not only give confirmation to your Airbnb listing but also help you prove the potential value of your Airbnb property.
