Are you a short-term rental host looking to upgrade your listing and increase bookings?
Is your listing underperforming, bookings suddenly dwindled, or is the listing simply out of date?
Are you working on a brand new property and want to hit the ground running with a killer listing?
After all the time and money spent on the property itself, the last thing a host needs is a listing that doesn’t work.
Many of our hosts come to us with photos that are really for real estate, not short-term rentals - too wide, too plain, devoid of any signs of life and fun times to be had.
Other hosts have taken their own photos but were missing some key techniques that make photos look really good or they’ve redone the rental and now need high quality photos to reflect the time and effort (and money!) that went into the changes.
The photos and copy should “sell the experience” while providing accurate information, highlight what’s best about the place and who it’s perfect for. A great listing can make the viewer feel like they can see themselves there. And make the host proud to show it off!
High quality listings create a synergy - photos and copy work together to create a sense of trust, “they’ve got my back”, and yearning to be there already!
“Ok fine, book it…but keep the fun to a minimum!”
Yeah…that’s the vibe of some photos, even when they’re technically fine. Sometimes a space just needs a little yearning added to it!
At Overlooked 2 Overbooked we specialize in custom listing services that take properties to the next level.

The O2O Difference
-
The Guest Perspective
We began helping STR hosts after staying in many Airbnbs around the world and seeing how many hosts had trouble marketing their places, seeing the forest for the trees. Putting ourselves in the future guest’s shoes has always been a core O2O value.
-
A Team of Professionals
For us, Brian & Kati, this is not a side hustle - this has been our full-time job for almost a decade. Our photographers are photographers, our stages are interior designers, our editors are actual photo editors. And it shows in our projects.
-
Not Hired Guns but Partners
We’ve got your back! You can ask us anything and we’ll try to help, even if it’s outside of what we officially do. We’ve worked on a wide range of projects and life situations, many repeat customers, and we’re always happy to help or hear how you’re doing, even after the project’s long done.
Real hosts. Real homes. Real results.
