How to choose a rental agency on Elba

1 min read | Last updated: March 2026 | By Elba Property Consultant

7 criteria for choosing the right agency

1. Number of properties managed

An agency managing hundreds of properties cannot dedicate individual attention. Ask how many they manage and the staff-to-property ratio.

2. Financial transparency

Demand detailed reports: nights occupied, average rate, gross income, platform commissions, operating costs, owner net. No vague items.

3. Single point of contact

Having one contact for you, neighbours and guests simplifies everything.

4. Clear, flexible contract

Watch for long lock-in periods, exit penalties and hidden clauses.

5. Verifiable track record

Ask for owner references and check guest reviews.

6. Operational protocol

Ask how they handle check-ins, cleaning, maintenance and emergencies.

7. Aligned interests

Prefer agencies working on a revenue percentage rather than fixed fees. Contact us for a no-obligation discussion.
