💬 FAQ: Onboarding with Open Air Homes

🏡 How long does the onboarding process take?

Onboarding typically takes 1-4 weeks, depending on permit requirements, design updates, and operational setup.

For homeowners with unfurnished homes, the timeline varies on a case-by-case basis, depending on furnishing, staging, and readiness for guest stays.

Some homeowners even come to us before purchasing a property. In these cases, we connect them with experienced real estate agents at our sister company OpenAiRE Brokerage to help them find the ideal vacation home for long-term success.

We offer affordable staging, junior designers, and luxury interior design options to help your home stand out without overspending. No matter your budget, we have trusted professionals who can elevate your space.

However, we selectively work with the top 30% of the STR market to ensure guests receive a high-quality experience. We partner with homeowners who value guest satisfaction, understanding that positive reviews are key to our mutual success.

This depends on city regulations, which vary between Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Riverside, Malibu, and beyond. The California Coastal Commission also plays a role—currently in favor of STRs—if your home falls within its jurisdiction.

One thing is certain: regulations in this industry are always evolving. We operate fully above board and guide homeowners through the permit process to ensure compliance.

If permits are required, we can legally list your home as a Month+ rental (30+ days) until everything is secured.

We use dynamic pricing software (PriceLabs) combined with manual market analysis to set competitive rates that adjust in real time based on demand and seasonality.

To build early momentum, we typically price your home slightly below market for the first few bookings, ensuring exceptional guest experiences and strong 5-star reviews. Once a solid reputation is established, we gradually adjust pricing to its full market rate for long-term success.

Our team provides guest support late into the night via SMS and platform messaging, ensuring seamless communication and high guest satisfaction.

If you read our Airbnb reviews, you’ll see that guests frequently praise our response speed. Our company-wide goal is to answer guests faster than it would take to walk to a hotel front desk!
