For real estate professionals

A serious short-term-rental resource for your clients.

Ikoi helps owners, buyers, sellers, and investors understand whether a property can operate responsibly and profitably as a short-term rental — and we partner with the professionals who advise them.

Before the offer, or the listing

An honest feasibility read protects your client.

Big Bear Lake is one of California's most tightly regulated short-term-rental markets. Licensing, ZIP-by-ZIP jurisdiction, the taxes Airbnb won't collect, required postings, the City's 30-minute in-person response — a property either can carry all of that responsibly, or it can't. Knowing which before your client buys or lists is the difference between a clean deal and a problem that lands back on you.

We run a clear, honest read of whether a property can operate as a short-term rental — including an honest "maybe not." There's no revenue fantasy and no pressure. Your client gets the real picture, and you get to be the professional who sent them to someone who told them the truth.

Two ways to start

Refer a client, or build something ongoing.

Some partnerships begin with a single introduction. Others begin with a conversation about how we work together. Either way starts here.

  1. Refer a client now

    A warm introduction, handled with care

    Have an owner, buyer, seller, or investor weighing short-term rental as a use? Send them our way. We'll run a clear, honest feasibility read — whether a property can operate responsibly and profitably — and keep you in the loop the whole way.

  2. Start a professional relationship

    A standing resource for your book of business

    Work with clients who buy and sell in Big Bear regularly? Let's set up a real working relationship — a one-sheet for your listings, a standing line for STR questions, and a partner who makes you look thorough.

How a referral is handled

A warm introduction, handled with care.

A referral isn't a hand-off into a black box. Here's the shape of what happens after you send someone our way.

  1. A warm introduction

    You send the owner, buyer, seller, or investor our way. We treat the relationship as yours, and pick up the conversation from where you left it.

  2. An honest feasibility read

    We run a clear, honest read of whether the property can operate responsibly and profitably as a short-term rental — including an honest "no" if that's the answer. No revenue fantasy, no pressure.

  3. You stay in the loop

    Yuri keeps you informed along the way. You always know where things stand, and the client relationship stays yours.

What you can expect

  • Yuri reads every referral personally

    No intake queue, no autoresponder. A principal who's been in real estate since 2004 reads what you send and replies for real.

  • We honor your client relationship

    The client is yours. We're the short-term-rental resource you can stand behind, not a competitor for the relationship.

  • You're kept informed at each step

    From the first conversation through the feasibility read, you know where things stand — so you can advise your client with confidence.
