Who Are We?

Host My Home was founded by Julie George in Cairns, who as a long time property investor discovered the world of AirBnB and wanted to help others enjoy the benefits of this platform. Julie has since sold her business to  AirBnB Property Management powerhouses, Hometime, a Sydney-based company, to assist in taking Host My Home to the next level.

Since selling her business, Julie's success story has inspired people across the globe, and left a remarkable imprint in the local market today. This, is her story.

​With her investment properties in the Cairns CBD, Cairns Northern Beaches, Smithfield, Brinsmead and Parramatta Park in QLD, Julie had only ever rented to long term residents in the hope that one day her properties would rise in value and eventually she would make some capital growth. 

After refurbishing one of her properties to be suitable for AirBnB rentals and using her marketing background to write a listing, Julie was amazed at the response and the huge increase in her income.  
​
Spreading the word of how great AirBnB hosting was, Julie soon discovered that not all property owners had the time or the knowledge of how to present their property or promote it. 

​There were also friends of Julie’s that were travelling overseas or living interstate that did not know where to find help with Hosting their property. And so, Host My Home was born!

Host My Home is a FULLY LICENCED and REGISTERED management agency offering  FREE Appraisal for those home owners that would like to find out more.  
All properties are listed under Julie's profile on AirBnB with a CoHost to assist.  To view Julie's profile and over 2900 Glowing Guest reviews please click this link below to view - www.airbnb.com/users/show/62058419
Host My Home now operates in Cairns and regional areas of QLD.  The demand for this niche service means that there is a recruitment drive currently underway to provide this service in more areas.  If you would be interested in joining the Host My Home Team please click here.

​In July 2019, Julie sold her business to the Hometime Group in order to pursue a public speaking career. Hometime is one of the largest and most successful short term rental companies in Australia, with a portfolio of clients and operating out of multiple locations across the globe. Julie remains a shareholder in the company, and is excited for Hometime to take Host My Home to the next level.
