Beyond the math — what you also get
✓
Fewer issues with eviction moratorium laws.
✓
Fewer issues collecting rent under Washington law. You get paid on time, every month.
✓
No costly vacancies or unit turns that drag on and delay re-leasing.
✓
Home inspected and cleaned after every guest.
✓
Less risk of hoarders or tenants damaging the property with STR.
✓
Your home stays pristine — move-in ready, all the time.
✓
Sell any time. No long-term contracts or tenants. Buyer walkthroughs happen between stays — the home is always staged.
✓
Less deferred maintenance. The moment your roof or plumbing springs a leak, we know — and fix it before it becomes bigger.
✓
Platform damage insurance. With long-term tenants, if they trash the place, you're left high and dry.
✓
Stay at your property any time you want — free.
✓
Host family and friends — also free.
✓
Potential MASSIVE tax savings. STRs can offset W-2 income — ask your CPA.

The upside is obvious. The hassle is too. Meet the villain —

The 24/7Hosting Grind.

The second job you never applied for — and somehow can't quit.

The toilet is overflowing.
Like. Actively. Onto the floor.
You're 5 min into the movie. Like actively chewing popcorn.

Hey so my car broke down. Can't make it today 😭
Check-in is at noon…
Next check-in is in 2 hours. You own a mop now.

Your trash cans are still at the curb.
It's very unsightly.
You're three states away. The cans remain undefeated.

Full refund issued.
Your ranking just took the hit. Your weekend, too.

Unless being a hotel clerk, a maid, and a customer service expert — with no day off, ever — sounds like a fun second career…

The grind has to go.
One hand passing a plunger to another

Hand usthe plunger.

Someone still has to take the 2 AM call. It just shouldn't be you. You have more important things to do.

We live here.
We host here.
We take the 2 AM call.

We own short-term rentals in this county.

We've taken the 2 AM plumbing call. Driven 40 minutes to meet a locksmith in the rain. Swapped out a broken stove on Thanksgiving. Argued with Airbnb over a damage claim that took four weeks to resolve. If a property can go wrong, we've already been there — on our own homes, with our own money.

Your home gets the A-team.

We run every property on the same systems we run ours. Same pricing engine. Same cleaners. Same vendors. Same 24/7 coverage. Same standards.

If our playbook didn't work, we wouldn't still be operating our own STRs.

A neighbor.Not a platform.

An AI chatbot can answer a message. It can't drive to your house at midnight. It can't calm the neighbor whose Saturday got ruined. It can't argue with Airbnb on your behalf.

When something goes wrong with your home, you want a human who lives in your community — who answers the phone and has years of construction and management experience.

The Plan
Three steps. Then a paid vacation.
No lock-in. No hard sell. Just a clear path from here to there.
1
Step One
Book a call. Find out if you're a fit.

A free 30-minute conversation. We'll tell you honestly whether your property is right for short-term rental — and sometimes we tell people it isn't. We only make money when you make money, so we're not going to sell you something that won't work.

Honest assessment. We'll tell you if STR isn't right for your property.
2
Step Two
Hands-on or hands-off.

We walk you through our onboarding sheet. From there — do it all yourself with our coaching, or hand us the keys and don't lift a finger. Same playbook either way. Your call.

No long-term contracts. You're never locked in.
3
The Payoff
Buy the silly hat.

Pick the trip. Pack the embarrassing vacation hat. Forget the sunscreen — buy it at the airport like a tourist. Your phone won't buzz at 2 AM. Your property will be earning while you're ordering the second margarita.

Aligned incentives. We only make money when you make money.
I am.Flourishing.

“I was answering messages every weekend. Now I'm flourishing.”

“I was afraid of a party trashing our home. Now I'm flourishing.”

“I was leaving money on the table. Now I'm flourishing.”

“I thought I'd never get a real vacation. Now I'm flourishing.”

What owners tell us, once we take over.
Your turn

So how canwe help?

Three ways in — whether you want to run it yourself, hand it off, or rethink real estate entirely.
01

Short-term rental isn't for you.

That's okay. Sometimes the right answer is a long-term lease, a sale, or a totally different real-estate play.

We'll still get on a call and help you figure out the best path — residential, multifamily, BRRRR, commercial, or keep-and-hold. We underwrite all of it.

02

Run it yourself — with a coach.

Want the control (and the full margin) of managing your own STR? We'll teach you our playbook.

Dynamic pricing, guest comms, vendor network, the works. Tripled my own revenue doing this — happy to show you how.

Hand us the keys.

Same (or higher) revenue. Your weekends back. A partner who owns STRs too — right here in your neighborhood.

Your property funds your life instead of demanding it.

Common Questions
Airbnb management,
answered honestly.
Do you manage Airbnb, VRBO, and other short-term rentals?+
Yes — we manage listings on Airbnb, VRBO/Vrbo, Booking.com, and direct-booking sites. Whichever channels earn the most for your property, we set up and optimize each one. Most owners default to Airbnb because it drives the most bookings in the Puget Sound region, but running multiple channels typically lifts occupancy 10–20%.
What areas of King and Snohomish County do you serve?+
Homeowners across the greater Puget Sound region — Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Sammamish, Issaquah, Woodinville, Snohomish, Everett, Edmonds, Mill Creek, Mukilteo, Monroe, Lake Stevens, Marysville, and surrounding areas. We're local, so if you're in the region and short-term rental is legal at your property, we can manage it. See our full city-by-city guide →
How much can my home earn as a short-term rental?+
Owners in King and Snohomish County typically earn $4,000–$6,000/month — roughly 1.5–2× a long-term lease. Real earnings depend on the home's size, location, and season (summer is peak). We won't quote you a made-up number: on a free call we'll pull real comparable listings for your exact address so you see what similar homes in your neighborhood are actually earning.
How is Stay Flourish different from Vacasa or Evolve?+
We're locally owned and operated in King & Snohomish County — not a national call center. The same small team runs every property, our founder Andrew Nutt owns short-term rentals here himself, and you get a direct cell number to real people in your county. No middleman layers, no rotating account reps, and no algorithm deciding your pricing without human review.
What does full-service Airbnb management include?+
Everything an operational Airbnb needs: dynamic pricing (reviewed by a human before each change), 24/7 guest messaging, professional listing setup and photography, cleaner scheduling and backup, maintenance coordination, tax registration and remittance, dispute handling and damage claims, smart-lock code roster, and on-call response — including the 2 AM call. You never touch a booking, a cleaner, or a broken water heater. See the full 28-item feature list →
What percentage do you charge for Airbnb management?+
Revenue-share, three tiers: Basic (18%), Pro (25%), and Hands-Off (30%). Higher tiers include more operational costs — smart-home tech, restocking, maintenance under $250 — so more is truly hands-off. No setup fees, no hidden charges. Full pricing comparison →
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?+
No lock-in. There's a contract, but you can leave with 30 days notice, anytime. If you want the house back, we block the calendar so no new bookings come in — and as soon as the last reservation checks out, it's all yours. We'd rather earn your business every month than trap you in it.
Can I still use my house myself if you manage it?+
Absolutely, and it's free. Just block the dates you want on the calendar — you, your family, and your friends stay whenever it's not booked. No fees, no charges. Most owners keep their favorite weeks and holidays for themselves and let the property earn the rest of the year.
Can you help me decide if my property is a good STR candidate?+
Yes. Andrew owns both long-term and short-term rentals himself, so he can help you decide honestly which is right for your property. On a free 30-minute call we'll pull real local comps, run the numbers, and tell you if STR makes sense — or if a long-term lease is the smarter play. We only make money when you make money, so there's no upside in pushing you toward STR if it's not the right call.
