Real Estate Broker/Attorney/Author/STR Host

My name is Pam Holt, and I'm excited to introduce myself as a potential guest for your podcast. I'd like to offer my experience and expertise in the realm of modern home sharing.

I bring to the table nearly four decades of experience in the real estate industry. Over the years, I've worn various hats, including those of a real estate broker/attorney, real estate instructor and course creator, and 2x international bestselling co-author of Hospitable Hosts and Reputation Driven.

My most transformative venture began when I transitioned into the world of modern home sharing. Hosting guests in my primary residence, I’ve reached milestones, including monthly earnings exceeding $20,000. Inspired by my success, I've dedicated myself to teaching other women the art and business of home sharing, creating a vibrant membership community of women who leverage their spaces for financial independence.

As a guest on your podcast, here are some key points I'd love to explore:

A Different Path to Success: I can share inspiring stories of individuals who have transformed their primary residences, second homes, or alternative dwelling units into thriving rental businesses. This unconventional journey to success within the short-term rental industry sheds light on the vast potential of modern home sharing.

The Personal Connection: Home sharing allows hosts to infuse their unique personality and style into their spaces. This personal touch creates an intimate and unforgettable experience for guests, setting hosts apart from traditional lodging options.

Community Engagement: Hosting guests in one's personal space often fosters a deep connection with the local community. I can elaborate on how hosts who share their homes actively promote local businesses, cultural experiences, and community engagement, enriching both the guest and host experiences.

Overcoming Challenges: Hosting in one's primary residence comes with unique challenges and opportunities. I'll share anecdotes of hosts who have navigated these obstacles and transformed them into advantages, illustrating resilience and innovation in the field.

Future Trends: Let's delve into emerging trends within modern home sharing, such as the growing awareness of room rentals as an Airbnb property category and the exploration of alternate dwelling units, like guest houses, attics, converted spaces, and carriage houses. These trends can inspire short and mid-term rental owners to diversify their offerings.

Please let me know your thoughts. I’m flexible to align with your scheduling preferences.
