Save on Airbnb Fees with Mexico by Owner
Airbnb fees have risen yet again to almost 16% for Mexico property owners. VRBO charges 12%, plus hundreds of dollars in membership fees. By the time you pay: their commission, taxes, your HOA fees, utilities, your property manager, your maid, your gardener, your pool cleaner, your predial and fideicomiso, along with regular home maintenance, you’re lucky if you have anything left to cover the CFE bill. We understand. We’re Mexico rental property owners, too.
MBO Charges ZERO Commissions
Mexico by Owner offers you an affordable solution that you can use by itself, or in conjunction with your Airbnb listing. We charge just a small fee to list your monthly rental or vacation rental; and, you can cancel any time you like. There’s even a place on your listing for you to direct renters to your Airbnb webpage if you still would rather have them book via Airbnb, VRBO etc. We don’t mind. MBO is simply an online listing service designed to help you get your property noticed worldwide without contracts, commissions or commitment.
We believe in ethical pricing—meaning we charge only what we need, not what we could. As property owners ourselves, we grew tired of online platforms raising prices and taking huge cuts without offering reliable customer service to their clients—the property owners—who make them their billions. MBO is an affordable, new alternative created with owner control and flexibility in mind.
