Built for remote ownership

Owning in Medellín should not mean managing from another country.

The property may be in Colombia, but the operational burden does not have to live in your inbox.

01
Guests need fast answers.

We coordinate routine communication, arrival details, reservation questions, and issue escalation.

02
Properties need physical oversight.

Turnovers, inspections, maintenance, supplies, and vendor access are handled locally.

03
Owners need visibility.

Clear communication and performance reporting replace scattered messages and guesswork.

We operate the stay from booking to turnover.

The goal is a professional guest experience and a hands-off owner experience - without hiding what is happening at the property.

From property review to ongoing management.

We qualify the property, define responsibilities, build the operating setup, and manage the recurring workflow.

Review the property

We evaluate location, building fit, condition, setup, and short-term rental potential.

Define the plan

Scope, fee structure, owner responsibilities, access, and launch needs are documented.

Prepare operations

Listings, pricing, messaging, cleaner workflows, supplies, and vendor access are organized.

Manage and improve

We run the day-to-day, report back to the owner, and refine performance over time.

Focused portfolio

Quality properties in the right buildings and neighborhoods.

We are not trying to accumulate every possible unit. The initial focus is on well-presented 1-3 bedroom apartments with realistic owner expectations and a building setup suitable for short-term rental activity.

Straightforward management fee

A clear operating structure.

20%

Current standard management fee on gross accommodation revenue, subject to the final written management agreement.

Calculated on gross accommodation revenue

The fee is not calculated as a percentage of the owner's net profit.

Property expenses remain with the property

Utilities, HOA, taxes, insurance, cleaning, supplies, repairs, and replacement costs remain owner-paid.

Coordination charges are disclosed

Any applicable procurement or vendor-coordination charges are documented clearly in the written agreement.

Common owner questions

Clarity before onboarding.

Management works best when the fee, expense responsibilities, property standards, and operating process are understood from the start.

What exactly does the 20% management fee cover?
The management scope is designed to cover listing and reservation oversight, guest communication, pricing oversight, cleaner and maintenance coordination, review workflows, and owner communication/reporting. The final scope is documented in the management agreement for the specific property.
Who pays for cleaning, maintenance, utilities, and supplies?
Those are property-level operating expenses and remain the owner's responsibility. Cleaning may be charged to the guest and/or owner depending on the booking structure, while Medellín Living coordinates the operational workflow.
Do you guarantee occupancy or rental income?
No. We work to improve presentation, pricing, operations, guest experience, and performance visibility, but no responsible manager can guarantee occupancy, revenue, or investment returns.
Can owners still use their apartment?
Yes. Personal-use dates can be blocked in the calendar according to the process established during onboarding, while respecting existing reservations and any agreed operational requirements.
