Attention, real estate enthusiasts! A major change has just occurred in the real estate sector. On October 16, 2023, the BC NDP government introduced stringent new restrictions on short-term rentals, significantly affecting platforms like Airbnb and VRBO.

In today's episode, Alex talks to Amanda Van Der Lee from How to Host in Kelowna, BC about the impact this has on AirBnb and its supporting businesses such as AirBnb Management companies such as her's.

We then go on to talk to Deana Steele, founder of Keys to Kelowna Properties. 

While Kelowna is renowned for its world-class amenities, there’s few world-class accommodations that lend itself to them. Deana Steele is here to change that.

Keys to Kelowna is Deana's opportunity to share the beauty of her city and one-of-a-kind luxury real estate rentals with the world.

As a driven entrepreneur, she's always been able to see new opportunities and build sustainable businesses. With the personal success of her property online, Keys to Kelowna started naturally in 2013. She attracted the attention of Airbnb, who pursued her to help remote real estate investors by managing their properties in their absence.

Today, she focuses on hand-selecting inspiring clients, impressive properties and confirming VIP guests, while her team carefully takes care of day-to-day tasks.
