Switching property managers in Port Aransas without losing bookings

Step 1: Read the exit terms in your current agreement

• Notice period, and whether it runs from the end of a month or from the date you send it.
• Any termination fee, or a minimum term that has not run out.
• Who owns the listing, the photos and the reviews, and whether they transfer.
• What happens to bookings that check in after the end date, and who keeps the deposits.
• When the final statement and final payout arrive.

Step 2: Send us one owner statement before you decide

Send one month's owner statement and we rebuild the same month under PAVC, line by line: same bookings, our 16% on net rental revenue, cleaning at documented cost, no markups. You decide on the real difference, not the advertised rate. There is no charge and no obligation.

Step 3: Give notice, keep the calendar

Once notice is in, the goal is that no guest notices. Reservations that check in before the end date run under the old manager. Reservations after it move with the home: if the listing is yours, we take over as co-host and nothing changes for the guest; if the listing belongs to the old manager, those stays complete there and new dates open on your listing or on ours. We collect the guest details, house rules, door codes and vendor contacts during the walk-through so nothing is lost in the gap.

Step 4: Onboarding, live in five days

1. 1Walk-through and readiness inspection: full property assessment, safety review and supply recommendations.

3. 3PMS integration and owner portal: calendar sync, automation setup and hotel occupancy tax configuration.
4. 4Guest-ready staging and inspection: final walkthrough, inspection documentation and quality-control sign-off.
5. 5Go live. Most ready homes are live within five business days of onboarding.

Permit and tax continuity

The City of Port Aransas short-term rental registration is per property, expires on December 31 each year and is not pro-rated, so a switch mid-year does not usually mean a new registration. What must change on day one is the emergency contact on file with the city: the city's hotline expects a response within 60 minutes of a complaint. Hotel occupancy tax is filed monthly, due the 20th of the following month, so the month you switch is split between managers and both must file their share. We handle our side of both. Details are in the permit and tax guide.

What we need from you

Access to the home, insurance details, your preferred vendor contacts, and anything specific to your home that is helpful for us to know. Our guest-readiness assessment is performed first, with any recommended maintenance and cleaning items documented and completed without delay, typically at no charge. Assuming no external delays, homes are listed and taking bookings in under a week.
