Most Seattle homes under-earn because they're listed, not designed. We fix the listing first, then price it at what it's worth. You get a monthly statement and a team that answers the phone.
Midnight guest texts, cleaners who cancel, pricing by guesswork.
Filled at any rate, to any guest, with nobody looking at the home between stays.
Old photos and a stale listing rank below newer homes on the same street.
Signature Stays was built for owners who are done with all three.
Two identical homes on the same street can sit $100 a night apart. The difference is what a guest sees in the first three photos: furniture, lighting, linens, and the small things that make a stay feel considered. We handle that before the first guest books, then price the home like the upgraded listing it is.
Most homes need less than owners think. Some need nothing.
A guest decides what your home is worth in the first three photos. Furnishings, lighting, linens, and the small touches that make a stay feel considered set the nightly rate before any pricing software runs.
So step one is a walkthrough. We measure your home against the top-earning listings in its market and it lands in one of three places.
Well-furnished homes go straight to photos and go live. It happens more than you'd expect, and when it does we say so and get moving. We don't invent work to bill for.
Lighting, linens, the kitchen, or an outdoor space nobody uses. Targeted and modest, with the expected payback quoted before you spend a dollar.
New builds, long-term rental conversions, and homes furnished for family life rather than guests. You get a plan and a number range first, so it's a decision on the math, not a leap of faith.
One way to work with us, done completely for you. We build the listing, run every guest interaction, and keep the home earning while you stay hands-off.

Chris took my place and turned it into an amazing Airbnb that is so unique and different from any other place we've seen. I was hesitant initially but I trusted his design and approach and the results are amazing. The property is booked so much more now and our revenue has increased drastically.
We were using another property manager (one of the big companies) and we were not happy and losing money every month. He worked with us and showed us how he can help bring our listing to the top of the search on Airbnb and increased our revenue by 30% in the first 6 months.
I can't thank Chris and his team enough for helping with managing my short-term rental property. My properties are performing better since they took over the management. I will definitely recommend them to friends and family.
Chris and his team are incredible at what they do! Truly full-service property management! Couldn't recommend them enough.
Awesome communication! Showed us exactly how to improve our vacation rental to get maximum profit. Will gladly use again for our next home!
Chris and his team have done a great job managing my vacation rental. I can't wait for them to manage my next one!

"I built Signature Stays after watching too many good homes earn less than they should, run by managers who had never stood in the living room. Every home we take on gets designed, photographed, and priced like it's mine. And when an owner calls, they get me, not a call center."Chris Price, Founder, Signature Stays

Properties performing betterOne straightforward fee, taken as a percentage of booking revenue, that covers the full spectrum of care: design and photography, weekly pricing, guest screening and communication, professional cleaning, maintenance coordination, and your monthly owner statement. No invoice markups, no hidden add-ons. We quote the exact percentage after we've seen your home, because a 1-bedroom condo and a 5-bedroom lake house are different jobs.
Two. Full-service management, where we build and own the listing and handle everything, and co-hosting, where you keep your Airbnb profile and reviews and we run the operations behind it. Owners who want to self-manage can also book 1:1 consulting on design, listing setup, and pricing.
Dynamic pricing tools that adjust rates to demand, a channel manager that lists your home on Airbnb, Vrbo, and other platforms from one calendar, smart locks with per-guest codes, noise and occupancy monitoring, a turnover system that tracks every clean and inspection, and 24/7 guest messaging. You see the results in a monthly statement.
Every guest who books goes through a background check. Locks and cameras are reviewed twice daily, noise monitoring alerts us in real time, and we photograph and video the home after every stay. Parties are a hard no, and we enforce it.
We work on an annual agreement with a written exit clause; we'd rather earn your renewal than lock you in. Ask for the agreement before you decide and read the exit terms first.
Local teams handle repairs at cost with no markup on parts or labor. Small items are fixed during turnovers; anything larger gets your approval first unless it's an emergency that protects the home or a guest. You see every expense on your statement.
Yes. Block your dates in the owner calendar and we schedule around them. We do ask owners to keep peak-season blocks light, because that's when the home earns most of its year.
We honor every confirmed booking and run the handoff so there are no blackout nights. Most transitions take under two weeks.
Greater Seattle and the Eastside, Vashon Island, Bainbridge Island, Snoqualmie Pass, and the North Cascades, plus select Southern California markets. Outside those, ask; we'll tell you honestly whether we can do a good job for you.
