SERVICES & PRICING
At KAF Properties, we go beyond simply listing your property. We offer a comprehensive, stress-free management service that ensures your property excels on platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com and more. From guest acquisition to post-stay cleaning, we handle every detail, allowing you to enjoy the rewards without the hassle.
When it comes to pricing, there are a few key elements. First, we conduct thorough research using tools like AirDNA, which provides insights into the average nightly rates for your area, competitor pricing, the types of properties that attract bookings, and seasonal price fluctuations. This helps us determine a pricing range for both low and high seasons.
Next, we use AI-driven dynamic pricing software that continuously monitors the market. This tool automatically adjusts your property’s pricing based on demand. For example, if a local event like a concert increases demand, the software will automatically raise the nightly rate to reflect the higher booking interest.
