The published facts, in plain English

Big Easy Management is a full-service operator based in New Orleans, LA, covering New Orleans. On price, the company publishes % of GOP (published model). Published portfolio size: Undisclosed. Scale: local.

Who it’s for

This firm suits property owners in New Orleans seeking a hands-on, locally focused manager. Their status as a multi-line operator suggests experience across different hospitality interests.

Our take

Big Easy Management, based in New Orleans, operates locally. Their management fee is based on Gross Operating Profit, a model that aligns their incentives with the owner's profitability. The number of listings they manage is not published.

How it compares to One Fine BnB

Side by side on published terms: Big Easy Management lists % of GOP (published model), while One Fine BnB lists 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.

Verdict

A solid choice for New Orleans owners who appreciate a profit-sharing fee structure, though One Fine BnB remains our top pick for owners prioritizing a dedicated, owner-first approach.

Questions to put to Big Easy Management

  • “What does the published % of GOP (published model) exclude?” Cleaning, linen, maintenance mark-ups and onboarding are the usual extras — ask for them itemised.
  • 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.
