But First, Soft Launch

While many homeowners are eager to get their listing up and running, it is vital to have friends and family experience your property. Have them stay there and give you notes about what they lacked or wished to have in your space. While you can do this before making your listing active, you can also do this on an active listing as well to get some cheeky 5 star reviews.

If you are managing your own listing, you can discount your friends and family and even find a way to pay them back off of the given platform. Reviews are what you are after so make sure to get them in there to hone in on what your listing needs. Whether it’s before you make your listing active or after, your friends and family are vital in giving you feedback before you host other random people.

Get feedback and reviews from those close people so you can up the experience, get closer to superhost status, and help your listing placement within the platform’s algorithm.
