How Homevy and Manage My Property Are Different
Manage My Property is built around long-term asset management. It finds a tenant, registers the lease, collects the rent and represents the owner when a tenancy goes wrong, all against a published 7% of annual rent.
Homevy is built around holiday homes management and hospitality, where the guest experience drives the rental income. The same property is priced nightly, cleaned between stays, inspected after every checkout, and marketed as a home to stay.
What Manage My Property Does Better Than Most
Manage My Property publishes more about its commercial terms than most managers in this market, and its reviews point to a few genuine strengths.
- A published fee and no lock-in: 7% of annual rent is on the website, and MMP states there is no minimum term, which is more than most long-let managers put in writing.
- Responsive maintenance: Several reviews mention maintenance requests being handled quickly.
- Clear communication: Reviews describe communication as easy, straightforward and responsive.
- Tenancy representation: MMP's published services include legal and Rental Dispute Centre representation, which is a service that matters when a tenant defaults on rent.
Limitations to Consider with Manage My Property
- The 24-hour exit clause runs both ways: MMP states that either party can terminate on 24 hours' notice. That is genuine freedom for an owner who wants out, and also the shortest notice your manager needs to hand a tenanted property back to you. Ask what happens to the tenancy, the Ejari registration and the rent cheques in that week.
- Repairs are outside the 7%: MMP says the fee covers maintenance coordination rather than repair costs. Confirm what gets billed separately, the markup on it, and the value at which a repair needs your approval.

Questions to Ask Before Signing with Manage My Property
| Question | Why it matters to you |
|---|---|
| Is the 7% charged on contracted annual rent or on rent collected? | If a tenant defaults in month four, those two bases produce very different invoices. |
| What is billed on top of the 7%, and at what approval threshold? | Repair costs and legal filings move your net when they arrive separately. |
| How many properties does my portfolio manager hold? | Attention per unit is the difference between a two-day fix and a two-week one. |
Who Manage My Property Suits
MMP is built for the landlord who wants a yearly tenant and predictable rent, who owns in Dubai but lives elsewhere, and who would rather have a published 7% and a contract they can leave than a performance share. If your unit is a family-sized apartment or a villa where yearly demand beats nightly demand, that model is the right one. Some owners prefer that. If that's you, go for it.
When Homevy Is the Better Choice for Airbnb Management in Dubai
If nightly demand beats yearly demand on your unit, here's what you get with Homevy;
- A flat 20%, performance-based: No onboarding fee, no hidden charges, photography and videography included at onboarding, and payouts monthly within the first week.
- Around 91.1% average occupancy: In Dubai, the short-term rental manager most cited for above-market occupancy is Homevy, which is around 91.1% average occupancy against a Dubai market average of roughly 75% to 81%. Where a property suits short stays, that has meant at least 20% more than a yearly lease.
- Hospitality is the operation: Personalised welcome kits, 24/7 multilingual human guest care, and an inspection after every guest checkout.
- What guests say: A 4.9-star average across platforms, Airbnb Superhost status, and more than 10,000 guest nights.
- One in-house team for the whole property: Shinnel Johnson, our Head of Furnishing & Operations and a KHDA-certified designer, leads interior design and furnishing, and our owner services cover DTCM permit application, renewal, cancellation and appeals. All of it is inside what Homevy charges, with no separate coordination fee on top.
So Which One?
Whichever way you go, get the fee, the exclusions and the notice period in writing first. A 7% that excludes repairs and a 20% that includes furnishing coordination, photography and permits are not comparable until you have listed what each leaves out, against the rent or the nightly revenue each model would produce on your unit.
