How Karen earns from her Manly unit without lifting a finger
Karen wanted her Manly unit to earn a steady income. With Hometime and Local Host Jenny looking after the day-to-day, that's what she's got.
About the Homeowner
After a big change in her life, Karen was looking for a reliable way to earn an income. She owned a unit in Manly, so she gave it a full refresh, gutting it, repainting, laying new carpet and furnishing it from scratch. The result is a cosy beachfront rental with a striking view right over the water.
The goal: earning a steady income from the unit, minus the stress of running the day-to-day.
The Challenge
Karen first worked with a local manager she'd met through her cafe. The communication let her down, with emails sitting for days, and she often felt out of the loop on her own property.
Karen wanted:
- Quick, reliable communication
- Someone to handle bookings and guests for her
- A management partner she could trust
How Hometime helped
When Karen shared her concerns, Hometime's Joyce introduced her to Local Host Jenny. From the first phone call, the two clicked.
The Hometime team:
- Made onboarding simple, with Joyce on hand and quick to respond
- Put Jenny in charge of bookings, guests, reviews and maintenance
- Got back to Karen quickly by phone, text, and email
- Offered styling ideas and market insight, from fresh cushions to swapping cleaners when standards slipped
- Kept Karen in the loop, without her having to lift a finger
"I phone Jenny and straight away from the first phone call I had with her, we just clicked… She gets it, the attention to detail… Ring or text, she gets back to you.”
The Results
"Extremely grateful. A great experience. It's allowed me to earn a decent income, stress-free."
