WORKING WITH TALO STAYS
A Better Way to Partner.
We’re a partner to your property — not a hands-off management vendor. Real strategy, real attention, real hospitality behind every home.
The Talo Difference
Most rental companies are built around volume — more properties, more revenue, less attention per owner. Talo Stays is built around the opposite. We take on a deliberately small number of properties, so every partnership gets real strategy and direct access to the people actually managing it — not a call center, not a shared account manager spread across hundreds of listings.

Brand Identity & Logo Design

FOR PROPERTY OWNERS
Robust, Customized Reporting
HOW WE OPERATE
Built on Trust, Not Guesswork
Financial Transparency
Every property gets its own dedicated bank sub-account — your revenue and expenses never mix with another owner’s. Payouts go out on the 5th of every month, with a full itemized statement every time.
Dynamic Pricing
Rates adjust to real demand — local events, booking pace, competitor availability, seasonal patterns. We review strategy regularly rather than setting it and forgetting it.
Communication & Support
Notification thresholds agreed on upfront, so you’re never left finding out after the fact. Direct access to the people managing your property — never a call center.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Owners & Guests Ask
How do I know if my property is a good fit?
We’re selective about which properties we take on — not every property that reaches out is a fit. We look for owners who want a real partnership, not just a listing service, and properties where we know our involvement will genuinely move the needle.
What happens during onboarding?
After an initial conversation, we build out your property’s brand and booking presence — identity, website, listing distribution — before going live across 20+ booking channels.
Can I move between Partner and Signature later?
Yes — reach out and we’ll walk through what moving from Partner to Signature, or the other way, looks like for your property.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing is based on your property’s size, location, and scope of service — reach out and we’ll walk through exact numbers for your property directly.
Do you mark up cleaning, maintenance, or vendor costs?
No — vendor costs (cleaning, maintenance, linens, seasonal deep-cleans) are billed to you at the exact invoice cost, with no coordination markup added.
What's included in my monthly report?
Occupancy, average daily rate, revenue trends, and booking pace — delivered monthly alongside a full payout statement, with portal access if you want to check in between reports.
Your dashboard, however, can be customized per property.
Is the Marketing Add-On automatically included, or is it optional?
It’s a separate opt-in — available alongside either tier, not bundled by default. Scope covers your direct booking website, social media management, email marketing, paid digital advertising, influencer marketing, and a monthly strategy call. You can add or drop it with written notice.
What's the contract term, and how do I cancel or switch tiers?
Talo Stays agreements run on a 1-year term that renews automatically each year unless you give written notice — 60 days — that you’d like it not to renew. Switching between Partner and Signature tiers is simple: it’s handled as an addendum to your existing agreement, not a new contract.
Are you a licensed real estate brokerage?
Yes — Talo Stays operates under the supervision of a licensed Michigan real estate brokerage, as required by law for this kind of property management. It’s one of the reasons owners can expect real accountability, not just a handshake agreement.
