The visible part of property management is turnover — clean linen, a tidy house, keys handed over. That is perhaps a quarter of the work.
The rest is pricing the calendar so the shoulder months fill without giving away the peak weeks, keeping the listing accurate across every channel it appears on, staying on top of safety checks and local registration, and maintaining the building so that small faults are fixed before a guest ever meets them.
Then there is the part nobody advertises: being the person who answers when the hot water fails on a Sunday evening. An owner managing remotely can do all of this. The question is whether they want their holiday home to become a second job.
