Guest enquiries, check-in logistics, cleaning coordination, and maintenance are handled end-to-end by our team. Your involvement is a monthly bank transfer.
25% above market average.
Daily dynamic pricing against local demand, events, and competitor rates. Monthly performance statements. Consistent returns, no surprises.
How it works
From assessment to income.
Free revenue assessment
We visit the property, run it against local data, and send you a projection within 48 hours. No cost, no obligation.
Onboarding & styling
Listing copywriting and professional photography, published to Airbnb and Booking.com, plus any amenity or styling recommendations before your first guest checks in.
Full-service management
Dynamic pricing reviewed daily. Guests handled from enquiry to checkout. Cleaning and maintenance coordinated without your input.
Monthly payouts
Funds arrive with a full performance breakdown — occupancy rate, average nightly rate, total revenue. Nothing to chase.
Owner results
From the owners we manage for.
We were getting $2,800 a month through a standard agent. Solara brought that to $32,000 in the first quarter. I haven't opened an email from them once.
Fourty nights booked in the first two months. The photography, the pricing, the whole setup — we didn't touch any of it.
The apartment sat empty for eleven months before we listed with Solara. $115,000 in the first year.
