What does it cost?
Our standard commission is 25 %, or 20 % if you have several homes with Vert. If the booking comes through a site such as Airbnb, Booking.com or Expedia, the portal fee is deducted first, and our commission is taken from what remains. Cleaning and bed linen are charged on top. We go through all costs with you, including maintenance, before we start working together, and everything is clearly set out in the agreement.
Is the estimate binding?
No. Neither the estimate nor registering online commits you to anything. We look at your home and give you a proposal, and then you decide whether to go ahead.
Can I still use my home?
Yes. We agree on how your own stays are recorded in the calendar, so they are coordinated with bookings.
Does everything need to be ready before we start?
No. At the visit we work out together what needs doing and who handles each task.
How soon can we start?
It depends on the home's condition, equipment and preparation. We plan the timeline with you and agree on when bookings open.
How do you set the prices?
If you want it, we use smart pricing that updates the price every day according to the season, the day of the week, holidays and how much is already booked. During big events such as Ólavsøka we raise the price ourselves. We always keep an eye on prices and adjust them when needed. You can always set a minimum price.
Where is my home listed?
On vert.fo and usually on Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Vrbo and several other booking sites. Through them it also appears on price-comparison sites such as Trivago. One shared calendar keeps everything up to date.
When do I get paid?
You get a clear statement, and your rental income is paid out on the 10th of the following month.
