Lage Real Estate Management

What Lage Real Estate Management does

Lage Real Estate Management is a privately-held property management company operating under the StayLage brand from its headquarters at 340 N. Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri. The company manages short-term vacation rentals, long-term rentals, and associated property services for individual property owners, with a managed footprint spanning 20+ U.S. states plus Mexico and Canada. Its core product, the StayLage vacation rental platform, enables travelers to search and book properties directly via staylage.com, while property owners receive full-service management including guest bookings, cleaning, maintenance, financial handling, and tax compliance.

The underlying technology stack relies on the third-party StreamlineVRS property management platform for listing, booking, and guest management, supplemented by the company's own website and an Instagram presence for marketing. Revenue is generated through four streams: vacation rental management fees charged to property owners, guest booking transaction revenue processed through the StayLage platform, coaching and consulting fees from prospective short-term rental investors, and property rehab services that convert and furnish properties for short-term rental use. Pricing is unit-based, with nightly rates ranging from approximately $50 for budget apartments to over $4,000 for luxury properties, varying by location and season. Management fee structures for property owners are not publicly disclosed.

The company is founder/owner-operated with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company. It expanded its portfolio and headcount in June 2024 through the acquisition of Sarah Bernard Vacation Rentals, a short-term rental manager in Innsbrook, Missouri, with approximately 15 employees transferring as part of the deal. Beyond this acquisition, the company has launched multiple ancillary service lines (long-term rentals, coaching, rehab) and built a geographic footprint that extends well beyond its Missouri base, though no revenue, headcount total, or unit-count figures are publicly disclosed.
