Property management
We have established a number of criteria to meet our premium quality standards.
Therefore, we only list chalets, villas or apartments that meet our conditions in terms of location (proximity to the slopes or to the beach, location within the city, view from the property, etc.) and characteristics (living space, number of bedrooms, extra features like a terrace or a garden, sauna or jacuzzi...).
If you own a chalet, villa or an apartment in France, Switzerland or Spain that you would like to entrust us with, do not hesitate to ask for a rental simulation.
A member of our team will be happy to assess your property against our standards.
You will find all our listings on the largest platforms such as Airbnb, booking.com, Homeaway or Expedia as well as on sites specializing in prestigious rentals. We also work with international travel agencies and have our own marketing platform, which is attracting more and more guests.
Over time, the quality of our services and our reputation have earned us preferential status on the channels we use as Superhost on Airbnb or Preferred Partner on Booking. This puts our ads in the spotlight, and guests know they can rent with confidence from Emerald Stay.
It's us, and we don't do it at random! Our team of revenue managers continuously analyses over 40 real estate data to set the highest possible price for your property, given day-to-day demand. We adjust the rates and create packages according to the periods, always with the idea of optimising the profitability of your property by maintaining an optimal occupancy level and keeping a consistent rate with the standing of your property.
With us, our owners earn on average 30% more than our competitors!
We know how to be very responsive in constantly adjusting our rental offers to market trends. It requires excellent visibility of our ads on the various distribution channels, thanks to our privileged status with the leading platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.) and a price adjustment in real-time. We are also working to constantly improve our website so that it becomes a significant channel for direct bookings over time. To date, 50% of these direct bookings already go through our site.
At the same time, we are carrying out targeted marketing actions, in conjunction with our CRM, and developing new B2B partnerships (lifestyle brands and sports events, to name a few) to provide our guests with the benefit of our opportunities. The cumulative measure of all these means allows us to maintain a high occupancy rate of our properties, even in the low or midseason.
Absolutely ! We support our owners, whose goods are eligible for the VAT recovery scheme in France, so that they benefit from a 20% discount on the price of their property. To do this, we have developed real expertise in the field which positions us today as the most rigorous player in the French Alps in the field of structuring tax refund operations. All our owners subject to this benefit, without exception, have obtained their reimbursement thanks to our support.
Yes, and it amounts to 3 years with a possibility of withdrawal after one year if you are not satisfied with our services in France and Switzerland, and 2 summer seasons in Spain.
Why? Because our experience has shown us that it takes between 18 and 24 months for a vacation rental to be exploited to its full potential. It takes time for our loyal guests to come back, for word of mouth to take place, for guests to publish their opinions on the internet ... All of this helps to improve the visibility and transformation of our ads and therefore the rate of occupation and profitability of your property. We do everything we can to achieve these goals as quickly as possible and we believe that our constant efforts deserve that you give us this time to bring you complete satisfaction. So far, no owner has wanted to leave us at the end of this commitment period, so we are confident in our ability to make you want to stay with us well beyond these initial years.
Our owners receive the income generated from their property quarterly. The amount we pay you is net of charges, fees and taxes, so you don't have to worry about re-invoicing. You can follow your revenues in real-time from your digital application.
This is our responsibility. We have an obligation to keep your property in the condition in which you have entrusted it to us. This means that in the event of damage, our comprehensive home liability insurance will reimburse all costs. We have coverage of several million euros so that our properties are fully covered, regardless of the hazards encountered.
Until now we have never had to complain about damage during a rental because we take special care to verify the identity of our guests before granting them access to the property they have booked. Likewise, taking a deposit online is an essential prerequisite for any rental.
Rest assured that we are doing what is necessary at all levels to take care of your property as if it were our own.
Sure! With us, you keep the pleasure of your investment by being able to stay at any time in your property. All you have to do is consult the reservation calendar for your property and then block the dates that interest you. You can manage this on your own using your digital application or through your account manager. We can also advise you on counting and declaring your private stays if you are eligible for the VAT recovery system.
It's us! As with all other tasks related to the rental management of your property, it is our responsibility to intervene in the event of a breakdown or repair. Our on-site teams are there to ensure preventive and curative maintenance. So if a washing machine breaks down or the Wi-Fi doesn't work, you don't have to worry, we'll take care of it for you.
Managing a seasonal rental implies availability at all times to meet guest requests, welcome them, maintain the property, etc. By entrusting us with your property, you free yourself from all these constraints. We currently manage hundreds of properties and none of our owners wanted to put an end to our collaboration because we bring them our rigor, our availability at all times and our know-how in the fields of real estate, hotels, new technologies and finance. The expertise of our versatile and multilingual team has been recognized by the Shortyz award for best leisure asset manager. In just a few years, we have managed to take a leadership position in the European seasonal short-term rentals market thanks to the confidence shown in us by our owners.
