Meet Our Founder

I spent nine years at HomeAway and Vrbo managing vacation rental partners — the professional operators running dozens of properties at a time. I saw exactly what makes a listing book and what makes one sit. Stay For Awhile brings that inside knowledge to Austin-area owners who want a manager who knows their property by name.
