Frequently Asked Questions

​​How much can my Big Bear vacation rental earn?

We provide custom revenue estimates based on the details of each property. After evaluating the home in person, we analyze comparable vacation rentals in the area along with property size, location, quality of finishes, and other factors that influence performance. Owners receive a projected annual revenue estimate with monthly breakdowns to help understand the property’s earning potential and Big Bear seasonality.

​​​​​​

​

Can I still use my property if Bearadise manages it?

Yes, of course! Bearadise property owners can block their property as often and for as long as they'd like, completely unlimited. We simply ask for advance notice so we can block those dates on the booking calendar and prevent conflicts with guest reservations. 

​​​​​​​

​

How do I choose the right property to buy as a vacation rental?

We are happy to help you compare Big Bear properties before you choose one. The factors that make a property expensive to buy are different from the factors that increase its revenue potential, so spending more on a property doesn't always mean it will earn more as a short-term rental. If you are looking to purchase a property, we are happy to help you pick one with a good purchase-to-revenue ratio, and if you need a real estate agent, we can recommend a trusted local realtor with a deep understanding of Big Bear vacation rentals. ​​

​

​

Does Bearadise only manage properties in the Big Bear area?

We specialize in managing high-end vacation rentals throughout the Big Bear area, but do manage properties in other markets on a case by case basis. ​If you have a high end property in a different market and would like the benefits of Bearadise optimization and expertise, feel free to reach out for a complimentary consultation.

​​​​​​​

How much does Bearadise property management cost?

Because every home is different, we create a custom property management proposal for each property. Our management fee is percentage based, so we only make money when our clients do, and we provide a tailored management proposal designed around the specific property and its owner's goals after a complimentary consultation.

​

​

How is Bearadise's management percentage calculated? 

Our property management percentage ranges from 25% to 30% of nightly rates. Although many management companies calculate their fee on gross revenue, we calculate ours on the nightly rates instead. We believe that this is a better model to align our earnings with our clients' results. 

​

​​​​

​​​What happens if I no longer need property management? 

If your plans change, ending property management with Bearadise is straightforward: let us know 30 days in advance, and we'll do what we can for a smooth transition. We do not require property owners to make longterm commitments. We want our clients to stay because they are happy with our property management and the results we deliver, never out of obligation. If selling is your next step, we can recommend a trusted local realtor with experience selling high-performing Big Bear vacation rentals.
