If you ask five Miami management companies what they charge, you’ll get five different structures — percentages, tiers, add-ons and quotes you only get by asking. Here is how the market actually prices in 2026, what each model includes, and the questions that reveal the real cost.
The three fee models in the Miami market
Full-service or co-host plans. Compare actual published plans and quotes. As checked on September 30, 2026, Stay Today lists 12% Co-host, 15% Full and 20% Premium, while Miami Vacations lists 10% for 1–10 units. The inclusions differ, so these rates do not establish an average or an all-in price.
Marketing or optimization support. An owner may retain responsibility for guests and local vendors while hiring help with listings and pricing. Ask who handles each task rather than relying on the plan name.
Two-level management. The WEPRO model has two clear options: 5% for optimization-only, or 10% for Full Management, charged only on booking revenue, with nothing upfront. Full Management includes pricing, listing, 24/7 guests, calendars and operations coordination. Physical work (cleaning, turnovers, repairs) receives one all-in quote approved before booking, with scheduling and quality control included. Full details on our pricing page.
What the percentage usually does NOT include
Wherever you sign, check what sits outside the headline fee: cleaning (almost always separate — usually charged to guests as a cleaning fee), repairs and maintenance (billed at cost, at cost-plus, or through the manager’s own crews — ask which), onboarding/setup fees, photography, linen, and consumables. Two managers quoting “20%” can differ by thousands of dollars a year once these are added up.
Contract terms are part of the price
A low fee with a 90-day cancellation notice, exit penalties, or a manager who keeps your listing, reviews and Superhost history if you leave is not cheap — it’s a lock-in with a discount on the front. Always ask: How do I cancel? What notice? Who owns the listing and its review history? (With a co-host model, the listing and reviews are always yours.)
Is management worth the fee at all?
Compare projected net revenue after all operating costs with the value of your time. A management fee does not guarantee higher income. Ask for assumptions on occupancy, nightly rates, owner stays and expenses; then compare a conservative scenario with your current results.
Our company comparison links to current provider information and explains how to compare the same scope. This article is about fee structures and how to compare offers. If the question you are actually asking is whether to hire anyone at all, that decision — the ROI of your own time versus a manager’s fee — is worked through in self-managed vs. professional management in Miami.
How to compare offers in one afternoon
Ask every candidate the same seven questions in writing: (1) exactly what’s included at the fee, (2) any upfront or onboarding fees, (3) contract term and cancellation, (4) who does the physical work and are they licensed and insured, (5) is the pricing strategy built per property or by default algorithm, (6) what exactly happens when a guest damages something, (7) how fast do they respond to owners.
Serious companies answer all seven plainly. See our full comparison of Miami management companies for how the major players stack up.
