Many many many more tips in this video . You must listen to everything he says to actually understand the 5 Tips . GTFOH with telling people what’s in the video . Let them watch
I don't have an airbnb biz. I come here for your energy and tips for my shop. LOL. Your content is universal. And I appreciate so much the value of your guidance. Much gratitude.
this is the truth, I've been on Airbnb since 2012 and there's a lot to learn, be careful of scammers saying they know how to do it, Sean is the real deal, thank you for your quality videos, I'm looking for properties now to rent in California
That is a great testimony for Sean.....When an Airbnb veteran is saying he's the real deal, it makes newcomers know they have come to the right place for info! He is changing this business, shaping it into what it should be for us, I am so thankful that he does what he does.
Just listed to this guy!!! Im new to AirBnb... Pretty amazing information!! I like you honesty... Integrity is everything!! Keep doing what you do... Thank You!
Sean nail it - as usual! I'm a superhost with 2 vacation STRs and here is something I find EXTREMELY helpful with my listing: Managing Expectations. I do this by using the following verbiage, "This is NOT a hotel room and most hotel rooms are close to perfect. This condo is NOT perfect but it is clean, cute & cozy. There is NO smoking in the condo or on the balcony and this is not a PLACE to PARTY or make LOUD NOISE." I also show pics of the so-so balcony view and state that in the pic caption. One of my properties has a "downstairs dated bathroom." Overall my STRs are very nice and, of course, I highlight this & I get Raving Reviews. But by Managing Expectations - I attract mostly GREAT GUESTS because they know what to expect.
funmiester long time super host, new airbnb TH-cam vid watcher. Lots of good advice here. Strict cancel policy is a must, and the paid airbnb seminar advertiser that I see is disgusting and preys on people with unrealistic expectations.
Good advice! About a month or so ago I switched the cancellation policy from flexible to strict, and I have observed no meaningful impact on the bookings I'm receiving. I think it was Sean that prompted me to make the change also. :-)
I venture to guess that you didn't have that strict policy during COVID. I know that cancellation policy saved my butt and still is (modified) during the summer of 2022.
I'm truly thankful for your free content. We are starting an AirBnB business and I can't tell you how much information we have received just from YOUR channel alone and it's all free. Because of your standpoint, I would pay for a course from AirBnB Automated! Thank you so much for the free.
I like that: first give give give. That is the right attitude not just morally but I have seen how people who invest in creating a quality product eventually succeed. Being lazy and cheap does not always work so well,
you know what? the thing with the furniture you said ... IS SOOO TRUE... i have an apartment that i took it empty and decorate it myself... is always FULLY BOOKED however the others ones that were already furnished are kind of slow
Just found you today for the 1st time! I co-host with my daughter in B'more since Oct. 2019 & she's a Super-Host alreadyw/AIRBNB! You are exceptionally good and have with integrity! I'm forwarding you to my daughter so me change keep
I agree with you about the free content. Anyone who is looking to help people wont charge them a fee, they have an agenda when they start charging you. I was just having this discussion with my partner and I really hope you continue to give your advice on how to make money without charging for it. You will get more views and you will make more money off TH-cam rather than those bs seminars some "gurus" claim charge hundreds of dollars for.
No matter what there will always be this free channel. And it will get priority. (I have a speaking engagement, another company has asked me to stand in on) I’m getting paid there. But it’s not my new MO
I'm the co-host for my mom's new airbnb property and you give amazing advice. I've been looking at many of your videos thank you so much. We're trying our best to become superhosts and cover all our bases when assisting and dealing with guests.
I agree, Sean. It's clear you're the real deal. First reason why? Your hand isn't out. You're building trust, then we hosts will place a value on your service. You're a smart cookie. Keep up the good and important work. --Siena in Seattle.
Airbnb was constantly suggesting that I lower my nightly rate by 40% to get more bookings, finally I got pissed and raised my rate by 20% , I have more bookings than ever before.
I so agree Sean. So many of these guys are draining us of our money before we can even get started. It’s all backwards. If you help me make real money you better believe I’m going to repay you and brag on you right and left.
Okay, okay. I “liked” and subscribed to your channel. I like you. Thanks for these tips. I’m on my Airbnb journey now and will list by the end of the month. Thank you.
Having spent thousands of dollars on real estate education over the years, I never begrudged the money I spent because I always learned something. That said I wholeheartedly agree with #1. Bad advice can be worse than none at all. Being an entrepreneur in this space means having tough skin but a delicate touch, especially when it comes to dealing with people. Thanks again Sean.
Appreciate your guiding wisdom. I am on the verge of converting my outdoor space into a rental unit and looking at your advice as a dear asset. Many thanks
At my family's market in downtown San Diego I see a lot of "riff raff", and I handle them by first reinforcing to myself that I won't let this person bother me. Next I adapt to the person and their needs, and treat them with dignity. When you're polite and firm at the same time, things will go smoother then when you're too nice or too visibly bothered.
1) I liked your sales note, I now have started to wear a blazer because of you 2) will definitely think about pictures before jumping in 3) thanks for the seo tip 4)your TH-cam suggested videos are on point lol
Thank you for all your free video help. I'm not yet up and running, but have been watching your videos from time to time and promoting them to other new Hosts on FB. I've put some of those groups on snooze b/c the info on them is more of a dedication to rants. There have been a few host consultants on there who want hosts to invest in their courses. But I'm conflicted about the info. Some say to 'invest' in having all the 'extras' like foods, wine, chips, candy, shampoos, hygiene items etc. all for free. While others have it as an upsell for a fee. Due to the age of my unit, I'm not going to get 'top dollar', especially since we don't have tv or WiFi on site. Our area barely gets cell service (I did invest in a cell phone booster).
While I understand how difficult it could be to furnish numerous places with thrift store finds, it is possible to do it for one or two places. The problem is that shopping thrift stores takes a lot of time in order to find the right things. I furnished my home with mostly thrift store finds. It took me a good 3 months to find the right things. My guests don't have any idea that I did it this way and they are all very pleased and impressed with my home.
Appreciate your every minute and every hour you spent shooting and editing these videos in order to provide such a valuable content to your audience. What i was trying to figure out through your videos are two things 1. What is wishlist and where to find it to populate with key phrases. 2.how to move calander from one listing to another in order to start new and fresh but keep your existing bookings of old underperforming listing. Like you suggested in one of your videos? Thank you for what you're doing. P.S. started month ago with two identical listings under the same profile. One is super outperforming competition but second one 1/3 of that at most. Decided to create new account and move that underperforming unit there.
Great video! Three year SH here. The only one I don't agree with are the small claims. But honestly, not only do I have a friend who works in salvage, this city is full of 2nd hand treasure stores, but my husband and I got married later... and now after 20 years together... we both had all our Single Lives Stuff, now our own cast-off's... One of the advantages to setting up these apartments was somewhere to put all our extra junk! Not charging for that broken plate that came from somebody who died four years ago, or that mirror I had three moves ago and that I never liked. The poor Swiss guests asked to pay for the 20+ year old hairdryer. I could NOT tell them how old it was! Just happy it didn't end up being a fire hazard. No, not gonna charge but not everyone has my history! ;)
Big fan. I owned a finance business for 30 years, sold it, and retired. Now I travel for three months at a time all over the world. I am considering short term rental as a way of keeping the house maintained as well as generate a modicum of cash. Could you do a video that focuses on the issues for someone who might want to rent their own home over one or more months while they travel?
When operating real estate in California, you got to watch out for that. Laws favor tenants, and if you’re not careful, yeah you’ll get sued or end up like she did in jail. That’s one of the reasons why I invest short term in CA and hold properties in other states.
I really don’t see the point of having a flexible cancellation policy. I had a guest cancel a 5 day booking because I didn’t switch to strict. I will always use the strict policy from now on. You’re right about attracting travelers who can’t make a decision.. it’s stupid
The problem with charging for the small loses is that guest leave a really bad review. Happens every single time. I had to start absorbing these costs just to avoid bad reviews. We had a string of bad guests that crashed our house or stained beddings and got very defensive when informed. Then left bad reviews that hurt our superhost status. I am open to hear any recommendation about this.
I am starting out and this advice is gold for a newbie. How did you go from homeless to an Airbnb extraordinaire and millionaire? What was the catalyst? It's hard to belive someone so sharp could have fallen so low.
Hi Sean. Just wondering how you feel about leaving reviews on mediocre guests (i.e. don’t follow checkout instructions, leave trash everywhere, break/damage minor things)? 80% of guests are great and I leave them a 5 star, but 20% deserve a 4 or 3 star. I assume they feel that they paid for the place, so they’re not going to complete any of the check out items, or pick up after themselves. Some with kids let them run loose, throw crap everywhere, scuff up walls, break decorative items. Do you give these guests lower ratings and say you wouldn’t host them again? Thanks for your advice.
so im gonna say this.. all your video helped me SO SO SO much that i dont need a curse right now but if you come with one im gonna buy it just because.. to support an amazing human that helped growing my busniess
I always instant book. Manual approval is a strain on management resources. I can always go after damages later. Instant book provides privilege of penalty-free host cancellation on many grounds
@@AirbnbAutomated Yes, like when a tenants is booking or in thier communication with you what things should raise red flags in your mind? And how to handle them :-)
Can you do a video about instant book jail? AirBnb will turn off your instant book without you knowing it. It will show up in your listing as turned on. Customer support will confirm that you have turned it on, but they will also confirm through a search that it's not showing instant book to the customer. I have had this happen several times. There's some theories as to why it happens and how to fix it but no real solid information. Thanks! Love your channel. It's guided our journey and helped us expand:)
Hi, I love your videos, just been watching the rescue videos that are super helpful. I ve got a good idea for a video. A video about what an average day routine looks like for you? Eg wake up time, e mails, % time looking for more properties, % time looking at booking figures etc. Looking forward to the course you producing too.
Unfortunately (and fortunately) I spent $1000 on this course you're referring to. Did this about 3 months ago. Its unfortunate because I spent that much money on knowledge that was available for free, but its fortunate because it introduced me to short term rentals and rental arbitrage. There is some good content in the course but definitely not worth that much $.
What about the “new” moderate or Non-refundable cancellation policy? btw: love your videos and the fact that you are not trying to always sell me your stuff. Thank you so much!
#request I would like to learn how to handle long term tenants in general but more specifically: do you clean just once, do you inspect the property periodically like to "change the AC filter" to make sure they are not trashing it, how many linens, coffee, towels, etc you do you leave for long term people, do they have to clean for themselves and take out the trash themselves, etc.? In other words I see problems with all these issues. For example, in a long term stay, I never changed the trash or wash the dishes, etc. How would you handle someone like me provided I did not damage anything was just dirty.
I have a Strict cancellation policy. Yesterday, a guest booked for two days and would arrive the same day. Later that day the quest cancelled. Then I receive an email from AirBNB stating, " If you’d prefer to keep your payouts when future guests cancel, consider offering a non-refundable option in addition to your current refundable policy". But AirBNB only offers this option if you choose Flexible or Moderate. It is not offered for Strict. What are y'all feeling on non-refundable options? This could be a topic for an new video.
Hi Sean and thanks for everything. Your link for the Facebook group (The Hosts of Airbnb Automated in the desciption) is for a mobile device! You would want to change this, as it looks weird on a big screen. Cheers
Correct me if I’m wrong, but from my experience; Airbnb will not approve a resolution that was submitted after another guest has checked in. I’m referring to the part about submitting a resolution 2 weeks out to avoid a negative review.

I saw that! And you look sharp in a blazer
He’s got the gift of the gab
Flexible cancellation is good when starting a property out for the first month or so! But yes after that I always use moderate!
nah, what i did i lowered my prices (but not lower then my "competition") and after few reviews i made my prices higher... it totally worked!
Thank you for all your free video help. I'm not yet up and running, but have been watching your videos from time to time and promoting them to other new Hosts on FB.

The bigger or the more luxe, the more you should add the extras. Normal listings, control costs.
While I understand how difficult it could be to furnish numerous places with thrift store finds, it is possible to do it for one or two places. The problem is that shopping thrift stores takes a lot of time in order to find the right things. I furnished my home with mostly thrift store finds. It took me a good 3 months to find the right things. My guests don't have any idea that I did it this way and they are all very pleased and impressed with my home.
Latrece Crispe my house is almost entirely thrifted, repurposed and filled with art. My guests love it and I've been super host for three years now.
Very good tips buddy! Thank you. Subscribed!
Great cutting through the noise and giving out super advice to some of the jaded hosts lol
Appreciate your every minute and every hour you spent shooting and editing these videos in order to provide such a valuable content to your audience. What i was trying to figure out through your videos are two things
1. What is wishlist and where to find it to populate with key phrases.
2.how to move calander from one listing to another in order to start new and fresh but keep your existing bookings of old underperforming listing. Like you suggested in one of your videos?
Thank you for what you're doing.
P.S. started month ago with two identical listings under the same profile. One is super outperforming competition but second one 1/3 of that at most. Decided to create new account and move that underperforming unit there.
Great video! Three year SH here. The only one I don't agree with are the small claims. But honestly, not only do I have a friend who works in salvage, this city is full of 2nd hand treasure stores, but my husband and I got married later... and now after 20 years together... we both had all our Single Lives Stuff, now our own cast-off's... One of the advantages to setting up these apartments was somewhere to put all our extra junk! Not charging for that broken plate that came from somebody who died four years ago, or that mirror I had three moves ago and that I never liked. The poor Swiss guests asked to pay for the 20+ year old hairdryer. I could NOT tell them how old it was! Just happy it didn't end up being a fire hazard. No, not gonna charge but not everyone has my history! ;)
Big fan. I owned a finance business for 30 years, sold it, and retired. Now I travel for three months at a time all over the world.

giving less is MORE stars! Sometimes you have to learn the hard way.
You are awesome! I love your passion. Buying my first Airbnb next month. I can’t wait to use your tips.
Me too. I'm creating space in my house for business. Trying to learn.
Really helpful info ! I’ve been making several “ mistakes “ out of kindness. No more Mrs. Nice Gal !
Love your work! Love your vids'. You're the real deal! Bless you for all of this free content.
Good stuff, there! Thanks Sean ☺️
Wonderful advice - keep it comin', please
Thank you Sean , keep learning!
I take my own advice. That's all i need 😆👍

Glad to hear you’re making it happen!
I want to enter the airbnb business. I plan on doing my homework first. Thanks for the content.
You’ve come to the right place
Good stuff Sean. You're right on target. Wondering what you're thinking about this news that just popped about airbnb will now verify every listing.
That’s not a terrible idea. Stay tuned as I research
Aloha...!!! I'm new to Airbnb looking to start a new airbnb business on Maui... thank you for your videos
I always instant book. Manual approval is a strain on management resources. I can always go after damages later. Instant book provides privilege of penalty-free host cancellation on many grounds
Wise words man, thank you!
I feel you!
First View, Like and Comment!
Can I request a video about how screen tenants and red flags? Especially for larger properties?
That’s a great question. Screening outside of paying for a background check service you mean?
@@AirbnbAutomated Yes, like when a tenants is booking or in thier communication with you what things should raise red flags in your mind? And how to handle them :-)
Can you do a video about instant book jail? AirBnb will turn off your instant book without you knowing it. It will show up in your listing as turned on.

Ill have to ask about this.
Awesome info🍃 Thank you!
Hi, I love your videos, just been watching the rescue videos that are super helpful. I ve got a good idea for a video. A video about what an average day routine looks like for you? Eg wake up time, e mails, % time looking for more properties, % time looking at booking figures etc. Looking forward to the course you producing too.
Unfortunately (and fortunately) I spent $1000 on this course you're referring to. Did this about 3 months ago. Its unfortunate because I spent that much money on knowledge that was available for free, but its fortunate because it introduced me to short term rentals and rental arbitrage. There is some good content in the course but definitely not worth that much $.
For that reason it was worth it. If that’s what it takes then whatever it takes
Bad guests use Instant Book because you cannot refuse them. It's shady. I have an upscale property and i would NEVER use that.
Such great advice! What not to do as a host *****!
Solid video!!
I feel you, bro. 🙌
What about the “new” moderate or Non-refundable cancellation policy?
btw: love your videos and the fact that you are not trying to always sell me your stuff. Thank you so much!
Keep being honest and they will come
#request I would like to learn how to handle long term tenants in general but more specifically: do you clean just once, do you inspect the property periodically like to "change the AC filter" to make sure they are not trashing it, how many linens, coffee, towels, etc you do you leave for long term people, do they have to clean for themselves and take out the trash themselves, etc.? In other words I see problems with all these issues. For example, in a long term stay, I never changed the trash or wash the dishes, etc. How would you handle someone like me provided I did not damage anything was just dirty.
I have a Strict cancellation policy. Yesterday, a guest booked for two days and would arrive the same day. Later that day the quest cancelled. Then I receive an email from AirBNB stating, " If you’d prefer to keep your payouts when future guests cancel, consider offering a non-refundable option in addition to your current refundable policy". But AirBNB only offers this option if you choose Flexible or Moderate. It is not offered for Strict. What are y'all feeling on non-refundable options? This could be a topic for an new video.
Good job. Tks
Hi Sean and thanks for everything.
Your link for the Facebook group (The Hosts of Airbnb Automated in the desciption) is for a mobile device!
You would want to change this, as it looks weird on a big screen.
Cheers
Great stuff! Thanks! Totally agree about giving out free game. Only few will put into affect anyway so might as well donate knowledge to charity
Correct me if I’m wrong, but from my experience; Airbnb will not approve a resolution that was submitted after another guest has checked in.
I’m referring to the part about submitting a resolution 2 weeks out to avoid a negative review.
great advice on cancellation!
great video and content thanks for the tips
Thank you Sean!
Good advice in 2022, still. :)
I feel u!!
