Why delegate management to a professional concierge

A short-term rental in Cannes can generate between 30,000 and 250,000 EUR of annual revenue depending on the property. But it also requires constant operational presence: 50-90 tenant changeovers a year, hotel-grade housekeeping, linen management, maintenance, review handling, daily price optimisation, tax management.

For an owner who does not live in Cannes or who prefers to outsource, a professional concierge is generally profitable as soon as you exceed 12-15 stays per year.

Profitability calculation

For a 2-bedroom Croisette apartment generating 60,000 EUR/year on direct rental with no management (50 % occupancy), moving to professional management = around 95,000 EUR/year with 75 % occupancy. Net after our 18 % commission: 78,000 EUR. That is +18,000 EUR for you, with no effort.
