Tell us about your home. We compare it with similar listings nearby and send an honest range, including what it may earn on an annual lease, so you can decide with the full picture.
Permits and set-up
We prepare the DET holiday-home permit application with you, check owners' association or building NOC rules, and set up the smart lock, guest insurance, professional photos and a guest-ready kit for linen and amenities.
Go live and fill the calendar
Your listing goes live on Airbnb and Booking.com, and AI helps us reach guests in China, Japan, Korea and South East Asia. Pricing adjusts every day to demand, events and the competition, and every guest is screened and registered.
Statements and payouts, monthly
Each month you get a clear statement of bookings, nightly rates, costs and reviews, and your payout. Ask on WhatsApp for an update at any time.
Services
Full-service management, with AI doing the legwork
AI and software handle the repetitive work around the clock, including finding guests in Asia. People handle the moments that matter: inspections, emergencies and looking after you.

Monthly report
Illustrative stock photos, not Away Residence staff or guests.
AI guest sourcing
AI helps us find likely guests in China, Japan, Korea and South East Asia and puts your home in front of them on the apps they use.
Dynamic pricing
Rates reviewed daily against demand, local events, seasonality and comparable listings, with a minimum nightly rate you agree, so the home isn't rented below it.
24/7 guest messaging
AI-assisted replies within minutes, day and night, for questions, check-in details and requests. Real people take over for complaints, refunds and anything safety-related.
Vetted cleaning and laundry
Hotel-standard turnovers by vetted third-party cleaning partners, with photo checks after every clean and a scorecard for each visit.
Maintenance on call
Issues are triaged and dispatched straight away to vetted technicians, from an AC failure in August to a lockout at midnight, and followed up until they're fixed.
Guest screening and compliance
ID checks, DET guest registration, Tourism Dirham collection and filing, and house rules that protect your neighbours and your building.
Monthly owner statements
Bookings, revenue, occupancy and every cost line in one statement, with receipts on request. Each one shows exactly how our fee was calculated.
Listing and reviews
Listing copy and photos tested and refined over time. Every review gets a considered reply.
Owner stays
Block your own dates whenever you like, a few weeks a year or a whole season, which an annual lease can't offer.

Revenue estimator
What could your home earn?
Choose an area and property type to see an indicative range of gross annual booking revenue, based on 2025–26 market data. These are gross figures, before costs and our fee; the owner statements above show what an owner keeps. For a figure specific to your home, request a free estimate.
Indicative estimate only, not a forecast or guarantee. Figures are gross booking revenue per year (nightly rate × occupancy, plus guest cleaning fees), before Airbnb’s host fee, cleaning, our management fee and your running costs. Our fee is worked out on booking revenue after the platform’s 15.5% fee, excluding guest cleaning fees. Dubai demand has been unusually weak in 2026, and results depend on the building, furnishing, permits and season.
Indicative estimate
AED 107k–145k
gross booking revenue per year
Our fee base (after the platform’s 15.5% fee, excluding cleaning fees): about AED 81k – AED 110k a year.
Our fee on this home: 20% of that, about AED 16k – AED 22k a year.
How we got this: Business-plan base case for a 1BR (AED 430 a night, 72% occupancy), with nightly rates 15% lower or higher.
