- Complete and sign the necessary forms: Client Agreement, W9 Form, and Direct Deposit Authorization Form.
- Upon receipt of your signed forms, AirSimplicity will send you a starter packet with helpful resources such as preparation guides, checklists and onboarding documents.

During this process, our team will also identify any issues or unique features that may not be covered in our Home Preparation Guide.
- We’ll create a custom listing for your property, including a digital guidebook. Then, we’ll share the draft with you for your review and approval. Once you approve the listing and our management team completes a final review, we’ll activate it online and begin short-term rental operations.
- When the listing is officially live, homeowners will receive a login to our property management app to block off dates as needed.

The onboarding process typically starts after you have completed preparing your property to be guest-ready and have had an initial walkthrough with AirSimplicity. The onboarding process usually takes around 2-3 weeks.
Please note: The actual timeframe may vary depending on factors such as your compliance with our basic guest-ready requirements, your STR license status, and any custom requests you may have such as interior design, amenity upgrades, repairs or maintenance that could be beyond our control.
To be considered “guest-ready,” your property should have all necessary furnishings and decor in place. All personal items removed and cleaned out as well, including those in closets and drawers. All home maintenance must be up-to-date and we highly recommend carpets be shampooed. AirSimplicity can coordinate a deep cleaning, as needed. All utilities and appliances must be installed, set up, and functioning properly, including internet and cable, if applicable. The exterior of the property must also be well-maintained and manicured for the current season to ensure a presentable appearance for professional photos and guest arrivals.
Whether or not an initial clean is required will be determined on a case-by-case basis. An onboarding specialist will inspect your property and advise whether a deep cleaning or initial clean is necessary. This is to ensure that your unit meets our standards and practices and allows us to hold our cleaners accountable for any cleaning issues that guests may encounter during their stay.
