Why Lane Property - Technology

What Makes Lane Property Different

The systems and service approach that delivers consistently better results than typical property managers

Smarter Pricing

Revenue Management That Actually Works

Many property managers still rely on manual pricing or basic seasonal adjustments. We've invested in sophisticated algorithms that analyse 50+ variables—local events, competitor rates, booking patterns, weather, market trends. Your rates adjust automatically, sometimes multiple times per day, to capture maximum revenue while maintaining strong occupancy. It's the same approach hotels have used for years, adapted specifically for Queensland short-term rentals.

+27% vs Manual Pricing
50+ Variables Tracked
Wider Reach

Multi-Platform Distribution

Your property is listed across Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, Stayz, and other platforms—each attracting different guest types. Corporate travellers often book through Booking.com, overseas tourists prefer VRBO, while Airbnb captures a younger demographic. Our channel management system keeps calendars synchronised in real-time across all platforms, preventing double bookings while maximising your property's exposure to diverse guest segments.

Know Exactly How Your Property Performs

Log in anytime to see your property's performance dashboard—upcoming bookings, revenue trends, expense breakdowns, cleaning schedules. Monthly statements provide detailed financials, and you can track everything in real-time rather than waiting for end-of-month reports. This level of transparency gives you the insights to make informed decisions about your investment while we handle the day-to-day operations.

Quick Response

Guest Communication Done Right

When potential guests inquire about your property, response speed matters. Our system sends instant automated responses for common questions, while our team handles more complex requests personally. Average response time under 10 minutes means higher booking conversion. We also manage pre-arrival instructions, check-in coordination, and post-stay follow-ups that encourage five-star reviews—all without requiring your involvement.

Operations That Run Smoothly

Behind the scenes, our operations system coordinates every detail—cleaners receive automated notifications with check-out times and property-specific instructions, maintenance requests are tracked from report to resolution, and supply levels are monitored. This systematic approach ensures consistent property standards and guest experiences, which directly impacts your reviews and repeat bookings.

Automated Schedules
Tracked Maintenance

Here's what really matters: big property managers have the systems but treat you like account number 487. DIY gives you control but eats your time and leaves money on the table. We've built something better—enterprise-level technology that runs in the background, backed by a real person who knows your property and picks up when you call. That's the Lane Property advantage.

Income Increase
Brisbane CBD

"I was getting $2,500 a month with a long-term tenant. Now with Lane Property managing it as a short-term rental, I'm pulling in over $3,800. The location near South Bank works perfectly for corporate guests and people in town for events. Honestly wish I'd made the switch sooner."

Occupancy Rate
Gold Coast

"We've got a place right near the beach and it stays booked pretty much year-round. Lane Property nails the pricing—high rates during summer, but they keep it occupied even in the quieter months. Best part is I haven't had to deal with a single guest. They handle everything."

Sunshine Coast

"The photos they took made our place look incredible—started getting bookings straight away. Between their guest communication and the cleaning team, we've kept a 4.9 star rating through 80+ stays. The compliance stuff in Noosa is pretty full-on too, so having them handle that side of things has been a lifesaver."

Annual Revenue
Brisbane

"The new Brisbane rules had us worried, but Lane Property sorted all the permits and compliance stuff—made it really straightforward. Our Woolloongabba townhouse is doing $127K a year now versus $72K when we had it on a long-term lease. With the Olympics coming, we're in a great spot."

Gold Coast

"I'm in Sydney and was pretty sceptical about managing a Gold Coast property remotely. These guys have been brilliant though—bookings happen automatically, cleaning's always sorted, they fix things before they become problems. I check the portal every now and then but mostly I just watch the deposits hit my account."

Revenue Growth
Sunshine Coast

"Three months in and revenue's up 43%. Their pricing system is smart—catches weekend premiums I never would've thought to charge. Plus they've got it listed on like five different platforms, not just Airbnb. Brings in guests I wouldn't have reached otherwise."

Why Lane Property - FAQ

Questions About Switching to Lane Property

Common questions from property owners considering professional management

How long does it take to switch from a long-term tenant to short-term rental?

Once your tenant moves out, we can typically have your property guest-ready within 2-4 weeks. This includes professional photography, styling consultation, listing creation across multiple platforms, and pricing setup. If your property needs furnishing or renovations, we'll provide timeline estimates during our initial assessment. Many owners begin the transition process 60-90 days before their lease ends to ensure a smooth changeover.

What if I'm currently self-managing—can I switch to Lane Property?

Absolutely. We handle the entire transition seamlessly. We'll honour your existing bookings, migrate your calendars, improve your listings with professional photos and optimised descriptions, and take over all guest communication going forward. Most self-managed properties see immediate improvements in occupancy and revenue once our pricing algorithms and multi-platform distribution take effect. There's no downtime or lost bookings during the switch.

How does your 18% fee compare to doing it myself?

Most owners find they earn more with us even after our fee. When you manage it yourself you usually undercharge, miss pricing changes and lose nights because you cannot be available every day. We handle pricing, guest messages, cleaning, maintenance, reviews, calendar management and all the operational work that affects occupancy. The result is higher average nightly rates, far fewer gaps and a lot less stress for you. Owners generally end up ahead on yearly income while saving their time.

What about the new Brisbane regulations starting mid-2026?

We're fully prepared for Brisbane's new permit system and 24/7 local contact requirements. As your property manager, we serve as your designated local contact and handle all compliance obligations. We'll assist with permit applications, ensure your property meets all requirements, and keep you updated as regulations evolve. The compliance process can be daunting for individual owners, but it's straightforward for us—we manage it across our entire portfolio.

Do you manage properties outside your three main markets?

We currently focus exclusively on Brisbane, Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast to maintain our service quality standards. Within these regions, we have established networks of cleaners, maintenance providers, and local expertise that enable us to deliver exceptional results. If your property is in a nearby area, contact us—we occasionally expand to adjacent suburbs within our operational footprint.

Can I still use my property occasionally for personal stays?

Yes, you can block off periods for personal use through the owner portal. We recommend providing as much advance notice as possible to maximise revenue during available periods. Many owners reserve a few weeks annually for family holidays while earning strong income the rest of the year. We'll work with you to find the right balance between personal use and revenue optimisation.

What happens if there's damage or a problem guest?

Every booking is covered by platform insurance and security deposits. If damage occurs, we document everything thoroughly, file claims with platforms, and coordinate repairs using your preferred tradespeople (or our vetted network). For problematic guests, we have established protocols for warnings, early departures, and blacklisting when necessary. Our screening process and house rules significantly reduce issues, but when they arise, we handle resolution completely so you don't have to deal with confrontation or stress.

How do I know what's happening with my property?

You'll have 24/7 access to our owner portal showing upcoming bookings, revenue, expenses, and performance metrics in real-time. Monthly statements provide detailed financial breakdowns. Your dedicated account manager is always available for questions or updates. We also proactively notify you of significant events—maintenance needs, booking milestones, or market trends affecting your property. You'll have complete visibility without needing to manage day-to-day operations.

Is my property suitable for short-term rental management?

Most properties in our three markets can succeed as short-term rentals, though location, condition, and furnishing significantly impact results. We provide free income analyses that compare your potential short-term rental revenue against current or projected long-term lease income. This assessment includes market data specific to your suburb, recommended improvements if needed, and honest advice about whether short-term rental management makes financial sense for your particular property.

What's the minimum contract term?

There is no minimum lock in contract. You can give Airbnb management a go for three months and make the call whether its worth it for you or not.

Still have questions? Let's discuss your specific situation and how Lane Property can maximise your property's potential.
