What owners say
Trusted by Melbourne property owners.
“Ready Set Host are an exceptionally efficient and professional team. We have full confidence in their management of our property. They are very responsive to both our needs and queries as property owners as well as that of our guests. They have been easy to work with and have produced some really positive results. We don't hesitate to recommend them!”
Craig Rosen “At times, I need to enter my apartment, so long term rent is not suitable for me. When there are any issues in relation to the property, super quick action is always taken to rectify the problems. I think that was so helpful for the person who is not a perfect English speaker like me. Very happy with Ready Set Host's service, thank you.”
Kazuhiro Obiki FAQ
Common questions from owners.
What are your management fees?
Fees depend on property type, location and service requirements. The first step is a free income estimate.
How do you maximise profits?
We use pricing, distribution, guest experience, housekeeping and ongoing optimisation.
What visibility do I get as an owner?
You have access to your property calendar so you can see when dates are blocked. You also receive monthly invoices and payments.
Can I block dates for personal use?
Where available, we can support owner stays and calendar blocks as part of your strategy. These arrangements may be subject to charges.
Can you fit out and set up my place?
Yes. We can prepare your property for guests with fit-out and setup services, with a tailored quote based on your property and budget.
Do you book direct stays and with insurers?
Yes. We handle direct bookings and insurer placements, and work with insurance and corporate partners who book directly with us. That broader mix of booking channels is one of the things that sets us apart.
