You invested in an Orlando vacation rental expecting steady income and five-star reviews. Instead, you’re dealing with slow responses, hidden fees, and disappointing bookings that barely cover your mortgage.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Hundreds of Orlando property owners have discovered what happens when you switch to an Airbnb property manager in Orlando, and the results speak for themselves.
The Real Reasons Owners Fire Their Current Property Managers
Managing a short-term rental shouldn’t feel like a second job, especially when you’ve already hired someone to handle it. But if you’ve been working with one of the big-box or out-of-town property managers in Orlando, these frustrations might sound all too familiar:
“They Never Respond When I Need Them”
It’s 8 PM on a Saturday, and your guest is locked out. Your current property manager? Nowhere to be found. You end up driving 45 minutes to solve the problem yourself again.
Sound familiar? Slow response times are the #1 complaint we hear from owners looking to change property management companies in Orlando.
“Hidden Fees Are Eating My Profits”
You thought you were paying 20% commission. Then the monthly statement arrives with surprise charges: “Emergency maintenance fee: $150.” “After-hours cleaning surcharge: $75.” “Administrative fee: $40.”
These mystery fees add up fast, turning what should be profitable rental income into barely breaking even.
“My Reviews Keep Getting Worse”
Poor cleaning standards. Clunky check-in processes. Maintenance delays that last for days. All of this shows up in your guest reviews, and once your ratings start sliding, so do your bookings.
“I Have No Idea What’s Actually Happening”
When was the last time you got a detailed report about your property’s performance? Not just a generic payout statement, but real insights about pricing strategy, guest feedback, and market positioning.
If your current property manager treats you like just another number, it’s time for a change.

Mike is everything you could want from an agent. An absolute expert in the local market…a creative tactician on making a deal and thinking through strategies…an investor friendly navigator on updates, rental income, location context, etc
And most important, he’s just a really good, likable, integral guy. In spending a few days with him on your property buying or selling journey, you’ll not only get a ton of value but make a friend in the business.
10/10 for Mike

Very happy we got to work with Mike! He educated us on all the local communities, good and bad. He was patient, always got an answer for us. During the sales process, he was very responsive, willing to negotiate our terms and was proactive thru the entire process. Post sale, he was a great resource and helped every time we asked; info, local contractors, property management companies, even helped move/dispose of furniture! If that’s not full service, I don’t know what is. We will use Mike in the future for our next purchase. My wife and I consider Mike a friend now. You will not go wrong working with Mike.
