Why Local Matters: The Advantage of a Napa & Sonoma-Based Team

Most property managers outsource support or rotate staff across states. Kohmsa does the opposite: our team lives and works in wine country. This means faster response times, insider knowledge, and hands-on care.

Our vacation rental address book includes vetted cleaners, hot tub techs, and photographers—ensuring your guests receive seamless service.

What Are the Property Management Fees?

One of the most common questions we get is: "How much are the property management fees?"

While fees vary based on your home’s location, size, and service level, our transparent pricing typically ranges between 20–30% of gross rental revenue, in line with top-tier competitors.

  • Insurance requirements

  • Sonoma & Napa short-term rental ordinance updates

We handle compliance so you don’t risk fines or headaches.

Do I Need Professional Managers or Can I Self-Manage?

Managing a vacation rental yourself might sound simple—until you're fielding guest questions at midnight or trying to coordinate a same-day turnover from another city.

With Kohmsa, you gain:

  • Professional managers on call 24/7

  • Concierge guest services

  • Hands-free operations

  • A support system that protects your rental income
