    Running a successful Airbnb property requires a unique combination, and deep understanding of design, pricing, housekeeping, hospitality, inspections, maintenance, financial reporting & management. Without the right systems, your investment will quickly become a full-time job, leading you to burnout at the hands of difficult guests and responsibilities.. This is Airbnb and bust. However, with the proper systems in place, you can expect above average returns on your property investment, you can share in your joy of hosting people from around the world, welcome new and returning travellers, have your investment maintained and serviced to the highest standards and get paid handsomely for the pleasure. Introduction: I am a real estate entrepreneur and the founder of FrontDesk, an Airbnb hosting and property management software company based in Cape Town, South Africa, established in 2014. We are passionate about helping property owners grow, coordinate, and optimize their Airbnb portfolios. Starting with just one property 10 years ago, I own and self-manage my 14-property Airbnb portfolio across three cities, hosting over 800 reservations annually. Whether it's the family beach house, your first Airbnb investment, or a rapidly growing property portfolio, I bring over 10 years of Airbnb market-beating results to help turn your short-term rental into a lucrative and easy-to-manage investment. Professional Background: With over 18 years in real estate and a decade managing my own Airbnb portfolio, I bring an extensive set of expertise and tools to the table. My journey includes due diligence to identify and source properties, purchasing, renovating, designing, and furnishing properties specifically for the Airbnb market. Backed by years of experience, I have a deep understanding of Airbnb's systems. I custom design software and SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) to record, report, and manage every element of running a successful Airbnb property and team. These systems have helped us earn 5-star reviews consistently for 10 years in one of the world’s top 10 international travel destinations. I’m fluent in all major Airbnb third-party software platforms, including Pricelabs, Wheelhouse, Guesty, Hospitable, Hostaway, Breezeway, and many more Airbnb Preferred Partners. I have a deep passion for hosting and hospitality, and excel in providing guests with amazing destinations and I have advised on properties in Bali, Spain, Italy, London, Poland, Mozambique, and many other destinations. No matter how small or competitive your market, if you seek advice from someone with a significant track record of success and innovation in the Airbnb market, I invite you to schedule and book a call with me today. Areas of Expertise: * Market Analysis & Property Acquisition: Identifying prime properties and markets to maximise investment returns. Comprehensive checklist for acquiring winning properties. * Listing Optimisation: Full platform listing optimisation, professional photography, strategic pricing, and A/B testing to enhance listing visibility and bookings. * Interior Design: Designing guest-ready spaces that attract travellers, from initial concept to final touches, tailored for Airbnb. * Software Solutions: Implementing software systems and refining SOPs to streamline operations, boost efficiency, reduce costs and drive profitability. * Financial Oversight & Reporting: Ensuring profitability and sustainable growth through meticulous financial management and reporting. * Guest Support: Delivering hotel-level service in a personalised setting through tailored guest communication and experience. * Brand Building: Developing direct booking websites and CRM systems to reduce reliance on OTAs and control your bookings. * Operations Management: Complete custom architecture for coordinating cleaning, maintenance, and inspections for seamless operations. * Building & HOA Guest Management Systems: Designing dashboards to identify, cross-reference, and manage guests checking in and out of multi-unit properties and estates. What I Offer: Our primary software, FrontDesk, eliminates all property ownership, and Airbnb hosting guesswork, we provide a seamless single-point management tool for property owners, accessible by phone, text, or email. Driven by data and refined by experience, we craft and handle the entire back end of your guest, listing and property operations. FrontDesk is only open by invitation to select property owners. For all Clients, whether you’re hosting a single property on Airbnb or expanding your portfolio of short term rentals, I am available to provide a range of solutions to all clients (Areas of Expertise) that can help you master and drive significant value to your Airbnb business.

    I am a fast thinker and problem solver. I am extremely detail orientated. I am very artistic and this has served me well in all different aspects of my working career as it enables me to deliver better work and has in the past been very beneficial to those that I have done work for. I prefer to work at my own pace as this allows me to deliver excellent work. I attended university for a year where I studied psychology but I never finished my studies. Over the years I have done many courses and achieved several diplomas and certificates. Law and psychology are my passions. I am a self starter. I use my own initiative however I will always ask before I do. I detest dishonesty. When I have time and I want to relax I keep myself busy with all forms of crafts and arts. I love acting on stage and I am a dancer. I love life and hard work.

    I am South African born, English speaking White Male. I was schooled in British established model schools. I had achieved several noteworthy creative writing accolades in secondary school, with much enthusiasm in sports. In tertiary education I obtained my honors in Exercise Science and Sports Medicine. This period did generate three publications in the relevant academic journals, the topics covered were statistics, molecular biology and exercise fatigue as areas of expertise. I left academia to pursue business experience, and was getting by with sales jobs, and consulting positions. The area of expertise shifted towards finance, business, and legalities within the regulatory environment in my country's legislation. I had been astute with all the relevant accreditation that warranted a qualification to provide and render intermediary advice. I did extensive research into possible intellectual property law which merges my university major with something feasible in the law industry. I went back to writing a dissertation for a part-time Masters degree in Sport Studies, this lead to an unfinished dissertation with shoulder therapy and rehabilitation. During this time, I developed a site for blogging, and enjoyed the feeling of three bogs/day that were introducing subject matter to the audience to digest. This area of expertise was football related, and it was a collaboration with a sports channel to get traction in the market. I have managed to write, and conceptualize books for self-publishing all to do with getting tax returns done appropriately, responsible gambling, investment advice on blue chip companies, why each household needs an appropriate budget in the current economic climate.
