Our Process

Your home, guest-ready faster than you think.

If you’ve already been renting and have the required permits in place, we can typically get your home live on StayAvari.com within a week or two. If you are new to renting, the timeline will depend on local regulations and how quickly we can access your home for cleaning and inspections. Your local property manager will give you a realistic estimate upfront with no surprises.

Here’s what we’ll be working on:

  • In your home: inspection, professional photography, and initial deep clean
  • Behind the scenes: finance setup, permits, listing description, initial rates, and ad placements

If you have rented before, we will migrate your existing reservations, communicate the management change to current guests, capture earlier reviews where possible, and help you cancel existing listings to avoid double-bookings.

Your Team

Meeting your local property manager

Once your home is live and ready for guests, we will introduce you to your local property manager by email or phone. They will be your primary day-to-day contact, someone well familiar with your home and your market. If you are local and want to connect sooner, just say the word.

Getting Bookings

Your first bookings matter. Here's how we approach them.

Those first reservations and reviews lay the foundation for your home's long-term performance. To build momentum and attract initial bookings, your rates may start slightly lower. As positive reviews come in, rates adjust upward. It’s a proven path to stronger earnings over time.

Tips from our revenue team:

Avari Pets Fixed

Consider welcoming pets, as it meaningfully expands your booking pool

Avari Long term stay Fixed

Remove unnecessary owner holds from your calendar to maximize availability

Your first statement will be posted in your owner portal by the 8th of the month following your first checkout. Sign up for direct deposit to receive your payments as quickly as possible.
