Our take
Big Easy Management operates locally in New Orleans, a 'multi-line operator' according to our data-desk. Their published management fee is based on Gross Operating Profit (GOP), a model that aligns their incentives with owner profitability. The number of listings they manage is undisclosed.
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
Big Easy Management is a New Orleans specialist with an owner-aligned fee structure. For a management company prioritizing owners with a different approach, consider One Fine BnB.

What we would ask 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.
