Hello, 

We just tried to put some of our properties on Airbnb and ran into issues where they said they owners had to do the listings then add us in. Has anyone else run into similar issues? Part of the reason our owners adore us is because they don't have to do the back end stuff. Thank you in advance.

That's only sort-of true, and, it depends on how you have set up your Airbnb account(s).

If each of your owners has their own Airbnb account, then, Airbnb is going to give you this advice.  Technically it's accurate... but of course, in reality your owner would just give you the credentials to their Airbnb account and then you'd log in and do any required setup.

If, like some PMs, you have one giant Airbnb account that contains all the listings for all your various owners' properties, then Airbnb's advice is incorrect - it's all in your account anyway, so you can do everything.

Either approach works fine with OwnerRez, as you can connect any number of separate Airbnb accounts to one OwnerRez account, and push property listings up from OwnerRez into any Airbnb account via our API connection.  Just make sure to choose the right Airbnb API connection, if you have several!
