FAQs
Learn more about FIBIâs property transformation services.Â
Where do you get your data?
We leverage AirBnbâs proprietary data library called AirDNA to gather comprehensive, accurate data on short-term rental performance in your location. This allows us to make informed, strategic decisions tailored to your property and market, ensuring we maximize your rentalâs profitability.
How long does the property repositioning process take?
Our property repositioning process takes 10 weeks from start to launch. We begin with a deep dive into your propertyâs competitive potential, followed by strategic planning, design upgrades, and vendor coordination. Throughout the process, we manage everythingâfrom material selection to installationâensuring a seamless transformation. By Week 10, your newly optimized listing is live, professionally staged, and primed for maximum revenue.
What kind of results can I expect?
Most of our clients see significant improvements in revenue and guest satisfaction. On average, properties we reposition experience a 2x increase in annual revenue. Your results may vary based on the location, market demand, and the upgrades we implement, but weâre confident that our data-driven approach will deliver measurable success.
Will I be able to monitor my propertyâs performance?
Yes! We provide real-time reporting and detailed performance tracking. Youâll have access to insights like revenue, occupancy rates, and market comparison metrics, so youâll always know how your property is performing.
What types of properties do you work with?
We specialize in short-term rental properties, including vacation homes, Airbnb listings, and other high-potential rental properties. Ideally, we work with clients who own multiple properties or are real estate investors looking to maximize their portfolio’s performance.
What is not covered by FIBIâs services?
While our services are comprehensive, the following are not covered and remain the responsibility of the homeowner:
- Utilities and Mortgage Payments: Homeowners are responsible for paying utilities and mortgage payments for their property.
- Local Regulation and Licensing: Ensuring compliance with local regulations and obtaining appropriate licenses for short-term rentals is the homeowner’s responsibility.
How does FIBI handle guest communication on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO?
We manage all guest communication across platforms 100% on your behalf. Our team is staffed from 4:30 AM to 1:00 AM PST, 7 days a week, and we enforce a strict 5-minute response time policy. Messages are monitored in real time, and we use internal audits and a performance-based bonus system to ensure both speed and accuracy. In some cases, we even call the guest directly when itâs the best way to resolve an issue.
Do you use automated messaging for guest communications?
Yes, but we donât stop there. We use automated messages for things like check-in instructions and review reminders, but real guests need real responses. Thatâs why our live team steps in for any non-routine questions, late-night concerns, or emotionally charged issues. We call this our hybrid guest messaging modelâfast automation + real people.
Does FIBI offer 24/7 booking management?
Yes. Our team manages bookings across all OTAs and direct channels 18.5 hours a day. We control all pricing, minimum-night stays, booking rules, and cancellation policiesânot the owners. These settings are optimized per property and per market to maximize revenue through occupancy and pricing strategy.
Can guests book without agreeing to your terms or policies?
No. All guests, regardless of how they book, are required to sign a legally binding rental agreement directly with FIBI. It outlines house rules, check-in/out times, code compliance, and violation consequences. Without a signed agreement, guests do not receive check-in instructions and their reservation is canceled.
How does FIBI handle security deposits for Airbnb bookings?
We require a real credit card hold for every booking, even through Airbnb. Because we are a software-connected Airbnb host, we are permitted to enforce off-platform security deposits. The deposit amount is based on the homeâs value and size. No guest is given access without completing the hold.
What steps do you take to prevent parties?
FIBI implements a full party prevention system, which includes:
- Mandatory rental agreements
- Security deposits
- Identity verification (for direct and Vrbo bookings)
- Noise monitoring devices in high-risk markets
A strict 3-strike rule that results in immediate eviction if violated
Whatâs your policy on noise complaints or local ordinance violations
We monitor properties in high-risk markets using tools like Minute or NoiseAware. If noise exceeds a threshold, the guest receives a warning. If it continues, we escalate. After three strikes, the guest is removed without refundâper the terms in the signed agreement.
How do you screen guests who book outside Airbnb?
For all off-Airbnb bookings (such as Vrbo or direct), we require:
- A selfie of the guest holding their driverâs license
- A photo of the credit card with matching name
This process significantly reduces fraud, chargebacks, and unauthorized parties.
How does FIBI ensure short-term rental properties are properly cleaned after every stay?
 FIBI requires cleaners to submit photo or video documentation after each clean, which is reviewed daily by our Cleaning Coordination Department. This helps us maintain quality and catch any issues before a guest arrives.
Who performs the cleanings at FIBI-managed properties?
We contract local third-party cleaning companies and individual vendors in each market. Every cleaner goes through a vetting process that includes interviews, reference checks, and Airbnb review audits.
What happens if a cleaner fails an inspection or receives a guest complaint?
If a cleaner underperforms, we provide immediate feedback or retraining. For serious issues, we require them to return and fix the clean. Cleaners who repeatedly underperform are offboarded and replaced.
How does FIBI handle last-minute bookings and same-day turnovers?
We expect all vendors to be available for last-minute and same-day cleans. This flexibility allows us to keep calendars open, reduce booking restrictions, and maximize occupancy for our clients.
How does FIBI track whether a clean meets five-star standard
In addition to daily audits, we monitor monthly cleaning review scores left by guests. Cleaners with high averages are rewarded, and those with low scores receive coaching or are replace
