Airbnb management
Airbnb management for owners of premium villas and rentals
Doing vacation rentals well is a 24-hour job: messages, check-ins, cleaning, pricing. That is the part we take on. Realbit manages guests, cleaning, pricing and operations for 25 % of gross revenue after platform commissions. If you only want to sell better, revenue management and guest support cost 10 %.

How we work
How your day-to-day changes when we manage it
Drag the bar and compare. On one side, what you do by hand. On the other, what we automate so your property runs by itself.
On your own
6 tasks, all on you
If you manage it yourself, by hand
- Publishing and maintaining the listing on each platform
- Changing prices by hand according to season and demand
- Answering guests at any hour
- Handing over keys or arranging who does
- Telling the cleaners and waiting for someone to confirm the departure
- Finding out about an incident after it has happened
With Realbit
6 areas covered by us
If we manage it, automated
- Smart locks Each guest enters with their own code. No keys to hand over or copies to lose.
- Sensors in the property They detect incidents so we can deal with them before they become a problem.
- Botón Checkout A WiFi button on the wall: the guest presses it on leaving and the cleaners are notified instantly.
- Dynamic pricing Revenue management: each night at the price the market allows at that moment, not a flat rate all year.
- Guest support Messages, questions and incidents are ours to handle.
- Cleaning and operations With full-service management we also handle them. With revenue management, we do not.
Automation is adapted to each property. On the first call we explain what we would install in yours.

01 Airbnb management
How much does Airbnb management with Realbit cost, and what do you get for it?
You know what you pay from day one. Full service costs 25 % and revenue management with guest support costs 10 %. In both cases the percentage is calculated on gross revenue after platform commissions: platform commissions come off first, and our fee applies to what remains.
| Fee | What it covers | |
|---|---|---|
| Full service | 25 % | Guests, cleaning and operations |
| Revenue management and guest support | 10 % | Pricing and guest support |
Calculation base for both: gross revenue after platform commissions. Minimum management commitment: 1 year.
What a property can earn depends on its area, size, condition and the season. That is why the first call starts from your property, not from a sector average. And you can work out your own case with the simulator.

Work out whether it pays off
Enter your numbers and see the real balance: what you keep per year and what the time you stop spending is worth. It is not a promise of income: it is arithmetic on your data.

The fee is calculated on gross revenue after platform commissions. You set the value of your time. It does not include what you pay today for cleaning, supplies or operations. We review it with your data on the call.

02 Airbnb management
What does full service include?
You forget the day-to-day: you receive the income and decide how involved you want to be. Realbit handles all guest management, cleaning between stays and the operation of the property. It is the option for owners who want a return without managing.
- Guests: all guest management, from booking to check-out.
- Cleaning: the property ready for every arrival.
- Operations: what it takes to keep everything running, with smart locks, sensors and Botón Checkout.
In the first call we detail what is on your side and what is on ours for utilities, maintenance and repairs, so you decide with all the facts.
03 Airbnb management
What is revenue management and what does it do for your calendar?
It means adjusting prices and listing conditions to season and demand. Instead of a fixed rate all year, each night sells at the price the market accepts at that moment, and high-demand dates are not given away. With the 10 % option we handle that and guest support.
This option fits if you already have cleaning and operations covered and want to sell better. We use dynamic pricing so your calendar responds to demand.
04 Airbnb management
Full service or revenue management only?
It depends on how involved you want to be. Full service covers everything: guests, cleaning and operations. Revenue management leaves cleaning and operations in your hands. Most owners prefer full service, especially if they live far from the property or use it occasionally.
If you are unsure, tell us your case and we recommend the one that fits your time and your property.
05 Airbnb management
On your own, with another manager or with Realbit?
The difference is who does each task and what it costs. Managing it yourself has no commission, but it takes your time. A manager takes on tasks in exchange for a percentage. Realbit gives you two options with the fee in plain sight. This table compares what you can check.
| Yourself | Realbit, revenue management | Realbit, full service | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing and listing | You | Realbit | Realbit |
| Guest support | You | Realbit | Realbit |
| Cleaning and operations | You | You | Realbit |
| Cost | Your time | 10 % | 25 % |
| Minimum commitment | None | 1 year | 1 year |
With any manager, compare three things: the fee, how it is calculated and the minimum commitment. With us, all three are on this page.
06 Airbnb management
Which properties do we manage?
Premium or renovated villas and homes in good condition. It is the filter that sustains good reviews: a guest who has a great stay leaves a good rating and books again, and that benefits you. If you are unsure whether yours qualifies, describe it in the form and we tell you frankly in the first call.
If you own a villa, villa management explains what changes compared with an apartment and how we look after it.
07 Airbnb management
Is there a minimum term?
Yes, 1 year. It is a commitment from both sides and we tell you from the start. A full year covers high and low season and gives us time to fine-tune pricing and calendar with you. If you would rather try a single season, better you know before you start.
08 Airbnb management
Do I need a tourist licence before starting?
Usually yes. To rent to tourists you must comply with the rules of your community and municipality, and that normally includes a tourist-use licence or registration. You can start there with us: we prepare and file the application, mainly in the Valencian Community. The decision is up to the administration.
See how we do it on tourist licences.
09 Airbnb management
Where do we manage properties?
Across Spain, with priority in Catalonia and the Valencian Community. Our team is based in Valencia and Tarragona. We currently manage more than 14 tourist accommodations, owned by private individuals, by Realbit itself and by rural hostels.

What happens after you tell us about your property?
We receive your enquiry, read it and call you within 24 hours with your case prepared. We talk about your property, its condition and which option suits you. If it fits, we go ahead. If we see an obstacle, we tell you on that call, before you spend time or money.
Frequently asked questions
What amount is the percentage calculated on?
On gross revenue after platform commissions. Platform commissions from Airbnb or others come off first, and the 25 % or 10 % applies to what remains, depending on the option you choose.
How much will I earn with my property?
It depends on its area, size, condition and the season, and nobody can promise it without knowing it. What we do is start from your property in the first call and work with dynamic pricing and guest support.
Do you manage city apartments?
Yes, if they are in good condition, premium or renovated. That criterion protects reviews and, with them, your bookings.
