Access to Airbnb and other partnership benefits
Hometime was the first company to join Airbnb’s official Global Pro-Host Program as a short-term rental management company in the APAC region.
Our official partnership with Airbnb means we get priority support, along with a number of other additional benefits, which means when you partner with Hometime, you do too!
To successfully manage a portfolio of short-term rental properties, requires strong collaboration with a number of key suppliers, namely qualified housekeepers, linen suppliers, maintenance personnel, furnishing vendors, etc.
Given the scale of our Hometime Hosting Partner network and our extensive number of properties under management, we are able to negotiate considerable supply discounts, which we then make available to you as part of our partnership.
NAB Ventures, a venture arm of National Australia Bank, is amongst our major investors. With our combined knowledge and information, we can help you create a successful property investment strategy.
Outside of the funding aspect, this helps us fine tune our product offering and data structures in line with the requirements of the banking sector and helps us develop new product offerings and ongoing innovation for the short-term rental market.
Community and best practices
Throughout our years of experience, we have compiled a list of all of the best practices that are involved in successfully managing Airbnb's at scale. We have made this blueprint fully available to you, meaning you get to leverage off of all of our learnings and bypass years of trial and error.
