Switching Managers
How Do I Switch Property Managers?
Review your current management agreement's termination clause and notice period first — most require 30–90 days' written notice. Give notice in writing, confirm how existing bookings and your security deposit or trust funds will be handled, and verify your new manager's license before signing anything. Plan the handoff around your calendar, not around a deadline.
Start with your current agreement, not your frustration
Read the termination section — notice period, deposit/trust-fund return terms, any early-termination fee.
Give notice in writing
Email is fine — keep a copy. Starts the clock on any notice period.
Handle what's already on the calendar
Who services existing bookings; when the new manager's listings go live (avoid double-booking); whether guest reviews transfer — on Airbnb specifically they generally don't if the listing moves to a new host account.
What should transfer, and what to ask for
Final accounting, listing photos/content you paid for, maintenance/vendor history, written confirmation accounts are disconnected.
Vet the new manager before you sign
License status (see how do I check if a property manager is licensed in Wyoming), where your money sits (trust account), the new agreement's termination terms, what's included vs. billed separately.
A reasonable timeline
Most switches take 30–60 days end to end.
