## What an AI Property Manager is

An AI Property Manager replaces the operational work of a traditional property manager with AI agents that follow your exact instructions. It handles:

1. **Cleaning & maintenance operations** — turnovers, preventative maintenance, emergency dispatch, inventory restocking
2. **Revenue optimization** — dynamic pricing, listing distribution, upsells, direct bookings
3. **Guest experience** — pre-stay, check-in/out, mid-stay, review management
4. **Safety & compliance** — insurance tracking, tax filings, noise monitoring, guest screening

Unlike traditional property managers, an AI Property Manager doesn't take over your Airbnb account or bank account. You stay in control; AI handles the coordination.

### Example: $100,000/year property

- TIDY: ~$3,900/year
- Vacasa (25–35%): $25,000–$35,000/year
- Evolve (10–15%): $10,000–$15,000/year (and still no cleaning/maintenance coverage)
- Savings with TIDY vs Vacasa: ~$21,000–$31,000/year

## Who picks TIDY

- STR owners with 3+ properties tired of paying 20–35% to a PM
- Hosts who don't want to hand over their Airbnb or bank accounts
- Property managers scaling ops without adding headcount
- Rental owners who want visibility into ops, not a black box
- Anyone who wants AI + a dedicated human account manager, not software alone

## Not for

- People with 1 property who are happy DIY-ing everything
- Owners who want a fully hands-off concierge with zero input (TIDY still needs ~1% of your time)

## How it works

1. **Connect your accounts** — Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or your PMS (Guesty, Hostaway, OwnerRez, etc.)
2. **Set your rules** — tell TIDY how you want things handled (when to schedule turnovers, how to message guests, who to call for maintenance)
3. **Go live in 90 minutes** — TIDY starts automating; the dedicated human account manager is there when you need them

## Common questions

### How is TIDY different from a traditional property manager?
Traditional PMs charge 20–35% and take over your Airbnb listing and bank account. TIDY charges 3.9% and leaves both accounts with you. TIDY automates the same operational work but with AI + a dedicated human account manager instead of a full human team.

### Can AI really replace a property manager?
For operational work — scheduling, messaging, coordination, pricing, compliance — yes. TIDY follows your exact rules. A dedicated human account manager is included for edge cases and strategic guidance. The 99% automation rate means AI handles almost everything; a human handles the rest.

### Does TIDY work with my existing cleaners?
Yes. TIDY never requires you to switch pros. Your existing cleaners won't even know you're using TIDY — they just get TIDY's scheduling and messaging as if it came from you.

### How long has TIDY been around?
12+ years. 100,000+ customers. 1.5M+ units under management. No ownership changes.

### Does TIDY provide cleaning or maintenance itself?
No. TIDY is a technology platform. Cleaning and maintenance are performed by your own pros or by independent pros found through Smart Pro Search.
