What results should you expect
from a revenue manager?
Nine real homes. What changed, and what they earned.
The short answer
These nine homes are earning more than they did in the same months last year. One cabin nearly doubled its revenue. A Captiva beach house added over $100,000. Below, you can see what changed for each property, using booking figures straight from the owner’s PriceLabs account.

How we chose these
New listings can see a big jump from year one to year two. We deliberately chose listings in year three and beyond, to show what’s possible after that early growth.
The first six weeks are free. Start with two listings and watch what your numbers do.
Methodology
How we verify.
Every number on this page comes from reservation data pulled straight from each client's PriceLabs account. Revenue is accommodation only: cleaning fees are excluded from both years. Figures are booked reservations as of 28 Sep 2026, for stays from Jan 1 through Sep 30, adjusted for cancellations. Q3 is included. It is not a closed quarter.
These are selected listings with activity in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Some 2025 baselines were already managed by r8. For the Captiva beach house, September 2025 had no recorded revenue. January to August growth was 69%. The January to September figure of 81% includes that empty month.

FAQ
Results questions we hear most.
A brand new listing doubling is easy to find and easy to sell. These are selected listings with activity in 2024, 2025, and 2026. They are chosen examples, not a portfolio average, and not every listing we manage.
Activity during 2024, 2025, and 2026. That is the screen for these case studies. Some 2025 baselines were already managed by r8, so the comparison is this year against last year.
No. Revenue is accommodation only, both years, so the comparison is clean. Figures are booked reservations as of 28 Sep 2026, for stays through Sep 30, adjusted for cancellations, pulled from each client's PriceLabs account.
Yes. The free 6-week trial runs on two of your listings. At the end you compare the numbers against last year and decide.
Judge booked accommodation revenue against the same point last year, after the management fee. Read ADR with occupancy and RevPAR rather than alone. Also check booking pace, whether strong dates sold too cheaply, whether weak dates moved early enough, and whether every decision can be explained.
No. Occupancy can rise because prices fell too far. ADR can rise while too many nights remain empty. RevPAR, revenue divided by all available nights, helps keep rate and occupancy in one measure. The final test is whether the listing has a credible path to beat last year's revenue.
