From pharmaceutical sales to $150 million in short-term rental transactions—this week’s episode dives deep with Chantal, a Colorado-based STR investor and brokerage owner redefining what it means to scale smart.

Chantal shares how knocking on doors in pre-foreclosures led her to her first “honeymoon basement” Airbnb, how she built a thriving portfolio in one of the most regulated states, and what she’s learned helping hundreds of clients buy and sell STRs across Colorado.

You’ll learn:
 • How she turned one underdog listing into a multi-million-dollar brokerage
 • Why most “turnkey” STRs for sale are actually underperforming assets—and how to spot opportunity fast
 • The insider playbook for selling an STR at a premium (clean books, strong revenue, and transparency)
 • How to navigate Colorado’s metro, resort, and mountain STR markets for long-term growth

Whether you’re an agent eyeing the STR niche, an investor chasing appreciation, or just curious how to make a short-term rental business scale, this episode delivers a masterclass in combining passion with precision.
