Full-Service Management:

You approve key decisions—we handle the rest.
A 20% commission is deducted from your payout after each guest stay.
Maintenance Note:
Homeowners are responsible for all third-party maintenance service charges. If our team is required to purchase items on your behalf (e.g. going to hardware or supply stores at your request), a 20% sourcing fee will be added to cover time and coordination.
Vendor & Cleaning Coordination

Every cleaning, turnover, and maintenance task is scheduled, tracked, and documented in your Fairly owner dashboard—giving you full visibility without the day-to-day effort.
