25 YEARS Of COMBINED EXPERIENCE
Our Team
Combining forces creates synergy and renewed passion for what we love the most.
Kevin and Kirsten were first introduced at a conference for professionals utilizing the same property management software. Over the years we encouraged and coached each other as we grew our respective companies; Latitude 38 Vacation Rentals and Big Sky Vacation Rentals. Leveraging our individual strengths, we applied these strategies to build two of the most respected companies in the industry with over 350 luxury homes under management. We are excited to have the opportunity to begin again with the benefit of hindsight and a deep knowledge of what really matters.
