What drew you to partnering with Pass the Keys?
The main draw for me to join the Pass The Keys family was the vast amount of expertise and the 24/7 support through customized apps and technology systems. I was extremely excited to buy into the nationwide short-term management company as the Lincoln Franchise owner this year.

What is your top tip for homeowners short-letting their property on sites like Airbnb?
My top tip is to stand out with a property listing name that appeals to the customer. If there is a landmark that your property is close to, ensure that the name includes this landmark. Also, ensure you have attractive, professional photos showing your property at its best!
