Own vacation rental management in your market.
You bring local credibility and contacts. Keepsake brings the overall business plan and operating system — software, vendor management, standards, and support — so you can sign rental owners and second-home Property Care clients in your first months instead of your first year.
Check your territory
Two owner audiences in every market.
Keepsake franchisees serve vacation rental owners who want full-service management and second-home owners who simply need their property looked after. That means two recurring revenue streams from the same team, vendors, and local relationships.
Vacation Rental Management
Pricing, listings, marketing, guest communication, cleaning, and maintenance for owners who rent their homes — recurring management revenue on every booking.
Keepsake Property Care
Home checks, maintenance coordination, cleaning, and arrival concierge services for second-home owners who do not rent — subscription revenue plus a natural path to rental management later.
Built for real estate people, by real estate people.
- You may need to hold an active real estate license, you may not - each state has different rules.
- You know your local market and the owners in it.
- You want recurring and predictable management revenue, not just one-time commissions.
- You'd rather run with a proven system than waste time and money inventing the wrong one.

Questions we get first.
Do I need short-term rental experience?
No. We make sure we are a good fit for you, but also that you are a good fit for us. Most franchisees come from real estate sales or investing. The training assumes you're new to management operations.
How is a territory defined?
By region and market size. We map it with you during discovery, and once it's awarded it isn't sold to anyone else.
Can I keep selling real estate?
Yes. Most franchisees run management alongside their brokerage work — the two feed each other.
What does it cost to start?
Investment depends on territory size and launch scope. We share full figures during the discovery call. Territories start at $49,000
