About the Company

Houst

Property management for short-term rentals

Houst manages short-term rental properties for homeowners, focusing on platforms like Airbnb. It provides a full service package that includes professional photography, creating and managing listings across multiple sites, guest vetting, check-in coordination, and housekeeping. The service works by charging a commission on the rental income; plans are tailored for part-time or full-time hosts, and the goal is to optimize listings and operations to grow rental income. Houst differentiates itself by offering end-to-end, multi-platform property management with hands-on hosting support, rather than leaving owners to handle tasks themselves. The company’s main objective is to increase homeowners’ rental income, aiming for up to a 30% uplift through optimized listings and efficient property management.
