Airbnb Setup & Staging Service

Getting a property ready to list on Airbnb is a project with a lot of moving parts — furnishing, photography, permit applications, platform setup, pricing configuration, and listing copy. ThreeBNB handles the full setup from scratch. You hand us the keys; we hand you a live, revenue-generating listing.

// WHAT'S INCLUDED
Furnishing and design

We build out your property's furniture, decor, and staging to a short-term rental standard that photographs well and earns strong guest reviews.

Professional photography

Every listing in our portfolio is shot by professional photographers with STR-specific experience — wide angles, natural light, and a shot list that drives booking conversion.

Drone and virtual tour

Aerial drone photography and 3D virtual tours available for properties where location and layout are a strong selling point.

Listing copy and optimisation

Title, description, amenities, house rules, and pricing configuration written and set up from scratch — calibrated to your market and guest profile.

STR permit application

We handle the Calgary or Edmonton short-term rental licence application as part of onboarding, including building bylaw review before we start.

Pricing and channel setup

Your property is configured in Staytive with a dynamic pricing model, listed across Airbnb, VRBO, and direct booking, and ready to take reservations.

// FAQ

How long does setup take?

For a property that arrives furnished, setup typically takes 7–10 business days — photography, listing setup, permit application, and pricing configuration. For an unfurnished property, the timeline depends on the furnishing scope, but we target a live date within 3–4 weeks of signing.

Is there a setup fee?

ThreeBNB does not charge a setup fee. Our compensation is the 15% management fee on ongoing revenue. If your property earns, we earn.

Do I need to be involved in the setup process?

Minimally. We'll need access to the property for photography and staging, and we'll walk you through the permit application (which requires your signature). Beyond that, the operational setup is handled by our team.

What if my property needs furnishing?

We offer a full furnishing and staging service. We'll assess your property, develop a furniture and decor plan calibrated to your target nightly rate and guest profile, and manage the procurement and installation.

What does a 'vacation rental design service' actually produce?

A unit that earns above-average rates because it looks significantly better in photos and in person than comparable listings. The design goal isn't interior decoration — it's photography performance and guest review scores. We design to what Airbnb guests actually respond to, based on what performs in our current portfolio.
