Our take
Big Easy Management operates as a local, full-service provider based in New Orleans. A notable aspect of their model is a management fee tied to the Gross Operating Profit (GOP), which is a rare and attractive incentive structure for owners. They are a multi-line operator, though specific listing numbers are not disclosed.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
On the published figures alone, Big Easy Management shows % of GOP (published model) and One Fine BnB shows 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Verdict
Big Easy Management's GOP-based fee is a strong point for owners prioritizing profit alignment. For owners seeking an alternative with a similar owner-first focus, One Fine BnB is our top recommendation.

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.
