Hi all! I currently have an amazing 4BR 4.5 BR fully renovated home with pool in East Hampton that is a well established Airbnb.
The good news is that the house has bookings practically every weekend. The challenge with so many bookings is that showings on weekends are super challenging.
Any advice on how I can market to Airbnb investors? Available Showings are mostly midweek between bookings.
This should be exactly what an investor wants to hear, if I can only get them into the home.
It's an amazing property and I want to make sure I am exposing it to the right (qualified)clientele.
I think with mid week openings you should be fine. I would list with an experienced agent in the area who will market the home right. As John said above, you could also block out a weekend and do two open houses if you have any available weekends in the near future. Otherwise, potential buyers will just have to make time during the week to tour the home or have their agent do a virtual tour. On that note, I would make sure whatever agent you hire is doing a good marketing video, etc so that the home is showcased on video and interested parties can see it that way as well. If you need any agent recommendations up there, I am happy to help with that as well! Best of luck!!

I think this is to be expected with STR's when they are for sale. If investors can't make it to mid week showings, encourage the buyer's agent to come in anyways and do some in depth video tours for them.
Sounds like this property is performing well, so that should be a good sign to anyone who is interested in it.

Hey @Raquel Knoell. Welcome to the forum! So you could post it on the AirBNB's for sale facebook page. You will get a TON of flakes and "experts" who trash it but you could garner a few good looks.
I am guessing with an East Hampton address we are talking about a multi million dollar property. The median home price is 2.2m.
This would be a super cool place to own and I am betting that anyone serious about the home will be able to meet the agent there anytime you say.
I just hope the nightly revenue will justify the purchase price.

Make sure it's marketed as an Airbnb on the listing and you should be fine. Also have your P&L uploaded in the MLS documents. Saves a lot of time (my personal pet peeve)
