The published facts, in plain English
RedAwning is a hybrid (distribution) operator based in Petaluma, CA, covering Nationwide US. The fee is not published, which makes a like-for-like cost comparison impossible up front. Published portfolio size: 20,000+ on platform. Scale: 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 Baker City.
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
In scale the desk files RedAwning as national — the kind of operation where you are likely dealing with the same few people, which some owners pay a premium for on purpose. With published coverage of Nationwide US, availability is rarely the issue — ask instead who exactly answers in your town. 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.
Two owner scenarios
- The distant owner. Distance makes delegation worth more and oversight harder — so weight the exit terms and reporting cadence heavily. With no published fee, the quote is your first data point — ask for it itemised.
- The owner who likes the work. Nearby and involved? Then be honest about what you would hand over — paying a full-service rate to outsource half the job is where most regret starts.
Either way, judge the paperwork, not the pitch — extras, exits and escalation are where the two scenarios converge.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: Airbnb co-host — 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. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with One Fine BnB.

Questions to put to 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
If you are drawing up a shortlist, these are the closest comparisons we would put beside it — each with its own published price, or a note that there isn’t one:
- Sky High Cabins — Not published ("low fee").
- The Cohost Co. — does not publish a price.
- Big Easy Management — % of GOP (published model).
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is One Fine BnB — see Airbnb management fees for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
