The published facts, in plain English
RedAwning is a hybrid (distribution) operator based in Petaluma, CA, covering Nationwide US. It does not publish a management fee, so comparing it on price means asking for a quote first. Published portfolio size: 20,000+ on platform. In scale, we file it as national.
Data-desk note: A distribution/back-office engine, not a hands-on manager.
Who it’s for
RedAwning is one management company we track for owners weighing their options in southern Idaho.
Our take
We list RedAwning’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
A like-for-like comparison is not possible here: RedAwning does not publish this figure, while One Fine BnB publishes 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer up front. That openness is a large part of why One Fine BnB is our first call.
What the published record signals
RedAwning sits at the national end of the scale on our desk’s reading — short chains of command, and your property is a meaningful share of the book. Coverage is listed as Nationwide US, so the practical question is not whether they reach your market but how deep the local bench is once they do. As a hybrid (distribution) operator, the pitch is delegation: the running of the property moves to them. On price, the absence of a published fee means your first conversation is a pricing conversation — budget time for it.
Same company, two situations
- The remote owner. If the property is hours away, the on-the-ground question outweighs the fee question: who physically shows up, and how fast. Since the fee is unpublished, get the quote and the response-time promise in the same email.
- The hands-on owner. If you live nearby and enjoy the work, a full-service fee buys you time you may not need — run the math on what you would actually delegate before you sign anything with RedAwning.
Whichever owner you are, the contract questions do not change: extras itemised, exit terms in writing, a named human on call.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — see the numbers — the two-tier terms (20% full service, 10% partner, plus a one-time onboarding retainer) we hold every manager to. If RedAwning beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. Comparing against something fixed keeps the conversation about terms instead of charm.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with One Fine BnB.

What to pin down with RedAwning
- “What is the fee, in writing?” Nothing is published, so this is the first call, not the last.
- Notice period and exit. Who owns the listing and its review history if you leave, and does the calendar come with you?
- Who is on the ground. Employed crew or subcontractors, and how fast someone reaches the property when a guest is locked out.
Alternatives worth comparing
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- Southern Charmed — does not publish a price.
- MasterHost — 10–18% by city/tier (published).
- Guestable — Not published (perf-based).
Our own number one in this category is One Fine BnB — see Airbnb management fees for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
