Top of the market returns

Over the years we have learned that delivering top performance in the short-term rental market requires more than just a listing and flat-rate pricing. This is why we have built a specialised team that is focused on understanding the market, mastering marketing and distribution and analysing data to deliver above-the-market performance to our clients, day in and day out.

As a result, we have consistently outperformed the market by 20-30% and successfully navigated through peak market volatility in 2020 and continue to deliver great returns to homeowners across Australia and New Zealand in 2021.

Airbnb Property Management in Australia & New Zealand

Hometime has grown from managing a couple of Airbnb’s in Sydney to Australia’s largest Airbnb property management company. We’re immensely proud of how far we’ve come since 2015 and have since managed more than 1000 homes across Australia and New Zealand.

To ensure we’re always offering the best personal service we partner with Local Hosts who know their market and region just as well as locals — because many of them are. Together with the community’s service providers, we empower small business owners to grow their portfolios and expand to new neighbourhoods as we continue to grow.

Our goal is to make property management for Airbnb a hassle-free experience for homeowners. We take the stress away from everyday hostings tasks such as cleaning, guest vetting and communication, maintenance, laundry and revenue management. Homeowners simply have to sign up for our services, meet their Local Host and never lift a finger again. Property owners will gain access to our Hosting Platform to monitor their earnings, booking forecasts and maintenance issues from anywhere in the world.

Data is our DNA

We’ve put a huge amount of effort into building systems, technology and skills that help us understand a property’s potential and the market it is in. This allows our Airbnb management teams to make smart data-driven decisions to deliver above the market performance every day.

Earnings forecast for total transparency

We start every relationship by taking the time to understand our customers’ goals, expectations and property. This helps us form a benchmark to compare your property to other properties in our large portfolio, as well as the broader market.

Bookability Score

Once your property starts receiving bookings and our systems pull data, we automatically benchmark a range of attributes to your listing in comparison to the market. This is what we at Hometime call a bookability score.

Market Updates & Guidance

We routinely send communication to our customers regarding the current market conditions and our strategies to capture and capitalise on emerging opportunities. We set up your property for success from the start.

Specialist Data & Revenue Management

We have a dedicated specialist team that focuses on analysing data and trends, then building analytical models. These models help us make decisions from property pricing to cancellation policy selection.

roomJulie Trace, Melbourne

“Simply put, after being with other agents, Hometime hands down is the best. Why, because they have amazing systems. My home is cleaner than ever, and my occupancy is better than ever. ”
