Property Management · Short-Term Rentals · Dubai
From furnishing and licensing to pricing strategy and guest support — First Class manages your property from day one to every checkout after it.
Why Owners Choose Us
First Class has been managing short-term rental properties in Dubai since 2020. In that time, we’ve built a portfolio of over 400 properties, maintained Superhost status every year, and hosted guests from more than 100 countries.
We don’t take on every property that comes through the door. We work with owners who want a genuine partner — someone with the data, the team, and the track record to make their property perform consistently, not just occasionally.
Every owner in our portfolio gets a dedicated point of contact, transparent monthly reporting, and access to a team that’s been managing Dubai’s short-term rental market through busy seasons and slow ones alike.
✓ 27% higher rental income on average vs. long-term leases
✓ 94% average occupancy rate across managed properties
✓ Full DTCM compliance — zero fines across all properties
✓ Transparent monthly payouts, every 15th of the month
What Sets Us Apart
We don't set a rate and leave it. Our revenue team adjusts pricing daily based on demand, seasonality, platform data, and local market conditions — so your property earns more, even in shoulder seasons.
Your property appears on Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, and direct channels — each listing optimised for that platform's audience. We handle photography, copywriting, and ongoing performance tuning.
Every guest inquiry, check-in message, and late-night request is handled by our guest support team. Multilingual. Fast. Available around the clock. Your reviews speak for themselves.
Our in-house housekeeping team cleans every property to hotel-grade standards. Maintenance issues are flagged and resolved quickly — before guests notice, and before small problems become expensive ones.
You receive a detailed monthly statement on the 10th of every month. Occupancy rate, average nightly rate, revenue breakdown, and projected forward earnings — all in one clear report. No spreadsheets you have to interpret yourself.
It's your property. You can block dates for personal use, stay whenever you like, and view your property's live performance through our owner app at any time. We work around you — not the other way around.

HOW IT WORKS
We learn about your property, your goals, and your timeline. A senior member of our team walks you through our process, answers your questions honestly, and tells you what returns you can realistically expect.
Photography, interior staging recommendations, DTCM licensing, platform listings, and a full property inspection — all handled by our team before a single guest arrives.
Your property goes live across all major platforms, fully optimised and priced to perform from day one. Bookings typically begin within the first week.
Monthly reporting, continuous pricing adjustments, regular inspections, and a dedicated support contact. We manage the operation — you collect the payout.
Our Portfolio Standards
First Class doesn’t list every apartment that comes our way. We manage a curated portfolio of properties that meet our standard for quality, location, and guest experience.
Every property we take on is professionally photographed, accurately described, furnished to a consistent standard, and inspected before each stay. We won’t list a property that doesn’t reflect how we work — because your property’s performance is a direct reflection of ours.
Dubai is a competitive market. The properties that consistently outperform aren’t the ones with the lowest prices — they’re the ones that look right, read right, and deliver on what the listing promises.
We manage a curated portfolio of 85+ luxury homes. Consistently outperforming the Dubai market average.
✓ 27% average occupancy outperformance vs. market
✓ Listed across all major OTAs — optimised per platform
✓ Full in-house design and furnishing support available
✓ Transparent monthly reporting aligned with your targets
Anything else on your mind? Get in touch directly and we will be happy to help.
We manage properties across Dubai’s highest-demand neighbourhoods: Downtown, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, JBR, JVC, Business Bay, DIFC, and more. If you’re unsure whether your property’s location is a fit, just ask — we’ll give you an honest answer.
Our management fee covers everything: guest communication, check-ins, housekeeping coordination, maintenance escalation, monthly reporting, DTCM permit renewals, and platform management. There are no hidden costs or surprise deductions from your payout.
Yes. You can block dates for personal use at any time through our owner app. We plan around your calendar — your property is still yours.
Minor repairs are handled by our in-house team and deducted transparently from your monthly statement. For larger works, we obtain quotes and get your approval before proceeding. Nothing is done without your knowledge.
Most properties are fully onboarded and live within 2–3 weeks of our first meeting. This includes photography, DTCM registration, platform listings, and first-booking readiness.
Our core expertise is short-term rental management, which consistently outperforms long-term leases in Dubai’s current market. We’re happy to discuss what model makes most sense for your property during an initial call.
