The season is over, and you are thinking about handing next year's sales to an agency or replacing your current one. Autumn is the right time for that decision, but before you make it you need to know what you gain by changing and what you lose.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many owners think that changing agency means a clean break: one day you work with one agency, the next day with another, and in between you lose bookings. In practice it is almost never like that. The transition can be gradual, and sometimes the first season with the new agency runs in parallel with the old one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Before you decide: what you lose by changing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Listings on the platforms, guest reviews and professional photos usually belong to the agency that created them and do not move with you. When you leave, you start from scratch: new listings, no ratings, new photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why one weaker season is not reason enough. First talk to your agency about prices, photos and the calendar, and ask for figures. A change makes sense if the agency does not respond, does not report bookings, does not keep agreed prices or cannot explain the result to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why autumn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have decided, the best moment is right after the last bookings have been completed. There are three reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first is the weather. In October and November the house can still be photographed in the sun, with the pool open and the garden green. Photos taken in January sell less well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second is the autumn wave of bookings. Some guests book next summer while they are still on Krk or as soon as they get home. These are mostly families and guests from Germany, who plan early and look after the house. If your listing with the new agency is not ready in autumn, you miss that wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third is time. In winter there is time to visit the property, agree on prices and prepare the listing. In April everything is done in a rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What about your current agency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The notice period and the way the contract ends depend on the contract you signed, so read it first. Look at four things: how far in advance you have to give notice, whether notice must be in writing, whether notice can take effect in the middle of the season at all, and what happens to bookings already confirmed for next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirmed bookings usually stay with the agency that sold them. It completes them, and in the meantime the new agency sells the free dates. All that is needed is for both sides to see the same calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Can you work with two agencies at once<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Only if your contract allows it. Many agencies offer two types of contract: an exclusive one, where only that agency sells the property, and a non-exclusive one, with an obligation to report bookings and keep the same prices. If you have signed an exclusive contract, working in parallel is not an option while it lasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where it is possible, a first season in parallel is often a sensible solution. The new agency has no guest reviews for your property yet, while the old one does. One season is enough to collect new reviews and see for yourself who brings more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep parallel work from ending in a double booking, two rules apply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
