In this episode of Vacation and Short-Term Rental Titans, Leo Walton (co-founder of SUPERHOG) has the pleasure of talking to John Hildebrand, an Airbnb Ambassador and the founder of Hilde Homes.

Hilde Homes (HH) was built by John Hildebrand from the ground up for the sole purpose of delivering stylish, comfortable vacation homes with guests in mind. John personally seeks out perfect locations, fully remodeling each home with all the latest smart technology and providing a team of concierge services. Hilde Homes has a reputation for giving guests a flawless 5-star vacation experience behind the RED door.

In real estate practically from birth, John talks to Leo about how he developed his passion for short-term rentals and how he got his start in the sector, sharing his experiences (both positive and negative) that really helped him to where he is now. A great communicator himself, John stresses the importance of communication when it comes to providing that all-important guest experience, and gives his thoughts on how property managers and hosts should take the leap when it comes to direct bookings.
