Good tenants, paid before move-in. The rest we make easy.
List your furnished apartment once — verified corporate and expat tenants inquire, the lease arrives ready for signature, and first rent plus deposit land in your account before the keys change hands. A partner that has defined premium furnished living since 2012 — bootstrapped, founder-led, no VC.
Your FARAWAYHOME OS account is live in under a minute.
The model in one sentence: We bring verified international tenants — the lease is concluded directly between you and the tenant, first rent and deposit go straight to your account before move-in, and FARAWAYHOME never holds funds. Commission is success-based only, capped at twelve months per tenant.
Three provider profiles, three tailored models. Which are you?
Your model is shown below — everything from “Who rents via FARAWAYHOME?” onwards applies to all three profiles.
The mid-term gap, filled.
You operate serviced apartments, ApartHotels or managed inventory — with your own reservation system and OTA mix. FARAWAYHOME owns the structural gap in between: mid-term (3–12 months) — between OTA short-stay and unfurnished long-let. Lower fee exposure than OTAs, lower turnover cost, predictable occupancy.
Why the segment works
Demand from 500+ cities worldwide — executives, relocators and project specialists with rent budgets of €1,800 to €4,500/month and stays from three months. A growing addition: diplomatic staff with stays of 24–36 months.
How it works
Identical to the provider model — inventory sync via Crawler, API or OpenImmo, verified inquiries straight to your reservations team, contracts on your own templates, direct payment before move-in, no holding of funds. You control income verification per listing: on for long-stay leases, off for fast-turn units. Recommended minimum term: 1 month.
We don't onboard everyone — protecting brand, rate, and tenant experience across the network.
Your terms — one commission, all-inclusive
- A single success-based commission — per confirmed booking or lease, extensions included
- No setup, monthly, or listing fees · no subscription models
- Capped at 12 months per tenant — revenue from month 13 onwards goes 1:1 to you
- Tenants pay us zero — no tenant fee on FARAWAYHOME, at any point. Lower friction, higher conversion for your inventory.
- We discuss the full rate card in a first conversation — existing agreements retain their conditions
