TL;DR: Listing takes about 20 minutes and goes live the same day. Add your property details, upload photos, set monthly pricing, and connect your calendar. Radius charges a flat 8% booking fee deducted from your payout — no annual listing fee.
Who this is for: 🏠 Host
Before you start
Have the following ready so you can complete setup in one sitting:

Step-by-step listing walkthrough
Step 1 — Create your Host account
Go to bookradius.com/register and create your account. You'll need to verify your email before continuing.
💡 Tip: If you already have a Radius account, sign in and navigate to Become a Host from the menu.
Step 2 — Add your property details
Fill in the property information form. Here's what to expect:
Field | Details |
Address | City and neighborhood are shown to Bookers/Guests during search. The exact street address is only shared after a booking is confirmed. |
Property type | Apartment, townhouse, single-family house, or condo |
Unit details | Bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, max occupancy |
Amenities | Wi-Fi, parking, pet policy, laundry, gym, pool, utilities included |
Description | 2–4 paragraphs. Lead with features that matter for 30+ day stays: workspace, laundry, kitchen, neighborhood walkability. |
Step 3 — Upload photos
Upload 8–15 photos. Order matters — the first image is the hero photo that Bookers and Guests see in search results.
Photo tips:
Use wide-angle shots in natural daylight
Remove clutter before shooting
Hero photo should be the living area or kitchen
Include a dedicated workspace photo — midterm Guests need to know they can work comfortably
Show the kitchen, bathroom(s), bedroom(s), and any outdoor space
Step 4 — Set your monthly pricing
Configure your rates and optional fees:
Base monthly rate — the price Bookers and Guests see at search
Multi-month discounts (optional) — e.g., 5% off at 60 days, 10% off at 90+ days
Cleaning fee — one-time, added to the booking total
Pet fee — added when a Guest brings a pet
🏠 Host: The price you set is the price Bookers and Guests pay — nothing is added on top. Radius deducts a flat 8% booking fee from your payout. You receive 92% of the nightly rate plus 100% of add-ons. See How does the booking fee work? for details.
Step 5 — Connect your calendar
Keep your availability accurate so Bookers can find your property:
Block dates manually for periods you know are unavailable
Sync an iCal feed if you manage availability through another calendar or platform
💡 Tip: Real-time calendar accuracy is critical. Bookers filter by availability — an out-of-date calendar means your listing won't appear in results when it should.
What happens next
Your listing goes live the same day. Once live, Bookers and Guests can find your property through search, and you'll be notified when a booking request comes in.
You can edit any listing detail at any time from your Host dashboard. To set up or change your payout bank account, see Updating your payout method.
