Owner Portal Comparison: Transparency That Builds Trust

Why Owner Portal Transparency Matters

Property owners deserve complete visibility into how their Airbnb investment performs. Yet many property managers operate as black boxes - taking percentage commissions without showing detailed breakdowns.

With iHousing's owner portal, you get 100% transparency responsive. See exactly what you earn, what we spend, and where every ringgit goes.

Competitor Portal Limitations

What other managers don't show you:

• Actual nightly rates: They discount heavily but don't disclose
• Platform fees: Bundled into net amount
• Cleaning costs: Marked up but shown as flat fee
• Maintenance expenses: Inflated but hidden
• Booking details: Summary only, no guest info
• Calendar availability: Can't see real-time status

Our open approach benefits both parties:

• No hidden fees: You see exactly what we charge

• Informed decisions: Data helps you optimize strategy
• Long-term partnerships: Trust retains clients for years

Owner Testimonial

"I switched from a 20% commission manager to iHousing. The old company never showed me actual expenses or booking details. Now I can see everything in real-time. I discovered they were charging me RM150 for cleaning that cost RM80. With iHousing, I pay RM80 - exactly what the cleaning team charges. The portal transparency is invaluable."

- Sarah T., Parkland Avenue Owner
