At Dreaming PlacesWe'd like to give you a clear and transparent insight into the fundamental differences between these two business models.

🧭 Concierge services: useful but limited

Concierge services often include a range of appreciated operational services, such as welcoming travelers, cleaning, key management and minor repairs. They can be a good logistical complement, especially for owners who are present on site or wish to retain control of the administrative side of things.

However, it is important to note that most concierge services do not have :

• From G or T professional cardrequired by the Hoguet law to manage or rent a property.
• From financial guarantee to secure rents or deposits.
• D'professional liability insurance covering rental management risks.
• From a legal and regulatory expertise on leases, taxation, town hall declarations and legal obligations.
• No mandate management nor commitment written agreement between the owner and the concierge.
• No exemption of the taxe d'habitation and no tax benefits.
