About Us

We are the Sunshine Coast’s premier holiday home management firm.

Welcome Ready was founded by Sunshine Coast locals Melanie Harding & Verena Biggs. Our team work with property owners to increase rental yields, revenue and ultimately your return on investment. We ensure your home is welcome and ready for guests each and every stay, taking care of every step; proactively managing the performance of your property, keeping occupancy high, revenue strong, guests happy and your home in safe local hands.

A complete property management service, Welcome Ready understands what it takes to create a holiday property listing that stands out from the crowd in the dynamic and competitive landscape of online holiday booking channels such as Airbnb, HomeAway, Stayz, Agoda, Expedia, Trivago, Hotels Combined and Booking.com. There is a reason our listings exceed the region's average for number of bookings, rate of occupancy and overall accommodation revenue. We are Airbnb property management experts, and have been hosting guests via Airbnb and Stayz for over 15 years, we have built specialised metrics and have designed a unique marketing strategy that ensures our properties are at the top of the list when guests are searching, increasing your occupancy and revenue. As Airbnb property managers we understand what it takes to optimise and promote your Airbnb listing to ensure it achieves it’s potential. With unique algorithms across the channels it’s very important to understand what each channel requires to stand out from the crown in a flooded market, ensuring our listings are always achieving a higher revenue and occupancy than the regions average.

Welcome Ready takes care of all aspects of the guest experience as well as property management to ensure your property is ‘Welcome Ready’, from the creation of your listing, staging and complete furnishing if required (with our local preferred stylists), along with professional photography and marketing via multiple booking platforms. We handle all inquiries, bookings, guest services as well as check-in and check-out inspections.  We provide hotel quality linens and first-class cleaning & maintenance and pride ourselves on the stress-free hosting experience our team provides.

The main focus is ensuring all guests have a truly memorable holiday, for all the right reasons. From five star cleaning, professional quality linens, 24-hour check-in along with all the essentials needed for an easy, relaxed getaway and hassle-free experience.
