The published facts, in plain English
RedAwning is a hybrid (distribution) operator based in Petaluma, CA, covering Nationwide US. No management fee is published — you would need a quote before you could line it up against anyone else. 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
Bay Area property owners seeking broad distribution across multiple booking channels will find RedAwning's model appealing. This service is best suited for those who manage their own properties or have an existing local management team in place.
Our take
RedAwning operates as a distribution and back-office platform, boasting over 20,000 listings nationwide. While its headquarters are in Petaluma, CA, it functions as a national entity. The company does not publish its management fees, and it is important to note that RedAwning is a distribution engine, not a direct property manager.
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.
Verdict
For owners who prefer to handle day-to-day management themselves and require extensive booking channel reach, RedAwning is a viable option. Alternatively, owners prioritizing a comprehensive, owner-first management service might consider One Fine BnB.

What to pin down with 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:
- Pocono Lodging Co. — does not publish a price.
- COBnB — 25% of nightly (published).
- FLX Rentals — Not published (commission).
