You can grow & scale your business without
sacrificing hospitality or your sanity.
They either prioritize profits, cutting corners with discount bedding, generic coffee, or (yikes!) subpar cleaning services. OR they go above and beyond stocking the place with premium local roasts and organic, 1000+ thread-count sheets and other luxuries that eat way too far into their bottom line.
Still others find themselves trapped in a DIY rut: taking on all the things, scrubbing toilets, answering messages at 3 AM, making emergency repair calls on weekends. Yuck!

PS: This program is PERFECT for total newbies to the STR industry!! We have helped loads of students start their STRs from scratch, avoiding all the usual pitfalls and growing pains from the beginning.
You need reliable bookings, at rates that actually make you a profit.
You’re tired of guessing about which amenities will get you the most bang for your buck.
You can’t stomach the idea of following some “guru’s” advice and just cramming more “heads in beds” to increase capacity.
Between the two of them, they have over 2,000 five-star reviews, their boutique hosting business brings in over 1 million in revenue, and they are on a mission to show others how to host with heart.
Each brings her own unique talents to the table. Sarah is a details-obsessed operations guru whose determination & design-savvy took her from Broadway to HGTV & ultimately a thriving real estate business. Annette is a professional people-person whose business-savvy led her from food & beverage server to multi-million-dollar business builder
Three years ago, the pair connected at a city council meeting in Columbus, Ohio, where they showed up to fight for the right to operate ethical, hospitality-focused short-term rentals in their city, or as they like to say “the right to have strangers sleep in our beds.”
They quickly hit it off and discovered they had a ton in common. Most importantly, they shared a deeply held belief in the power of heart-led hosting in the short-term rental space. There were plenty of gurus teaching people how to turn a quick profit in real estate, but no one was preaching a guest-centric approach.
The duo became business partners, marrying their unique skill sets, personalities, and talents to teach others how to host with heart. Today they are known for their value-packed podcast, Thanks for Visiting, which is packed actionable and impactful advice for short-term rental hosts at every level, from brand new to experienced.
Annette & Sarah are the founders of the Hosting Business Mastery Method, a one-of-its-kind membership, course, and group coaching community designed to help aspiring & experienced short-term rental hosts achieve reliable profits without sacrificing guest experience.
Annette & Sarah don’t just hide behind their laptop screens. Far from it!
These ladies practice what they preach, running a hosting company that generates over $1 million in revenue with metropolitan and vacation rental properties.
They keep up on all the latest trends, technology, and practices in the industry so they can bring their listeners and members the best, most up-to-date information.
Rumor has it, they are working on several exciting projects behind the scenes, including a joint real estate portfolio that is sure to put their names on the map as among today’s strongest female real estate investors.
We’ve bundled all of our knowledge, expertise, skills, industry experience, & hospitality background (plus the many lessons we learned along the way), & we have created our one-of-its-kind GAME-CHANGING Hosting Mastery Program.
i'm in! let's do this!
Don’t beat yourself up! Real estate is notoriously tricky, and short-term rentals are a whole other ballgame. We know you’ve tried it all.
You YouTube’d all the things. Read all the blogs. Asked your Aunt Sally the real estate agent to help you crunch some numbers.
You even ventured into those free Facebook groups to ask for advice (and then slowly backed yourself out of there once you saw all the guest-bashing, woe-is-me complaining)
You listened to those bro marketers yelling about getting rich with real estate, just buy their seminar and they’ll teach you how (why are they always yelling??)
Real people who made real mistakes and learned real lessons while building a guest-centered, hospitality-driven short-term rental business.
Trust us. (Or don’t. But don’t blame us when your 5-star rating plummets.)

If you’re like a lot of our students, you got into this business because you love design, hospitality, travel, real estate, or some combination of the above…but you don’t have a ton of tangible business-building experience.
Phase 1 will walk you through the pieces you need to put yourself in the entrepreneurial spirit (and if you get stuck, bring it to the coaching calls and the community — we’re all happy to help!)
#1
Without the right team, systems, and safety mechanisms in place, you’ll never stop scrambling. We teach you exactly how (and who!) to hire, which systems make all the difference, and how to avoid disaster with some simple but often-overlooked safety checks.
#2
We know you want to make a profit. Yet too many of us want to bury our heads in the sand, ignoring our numbers. We break down the real deal when it comes to finances: how to establish your pricing strategy, track your profits & expenses, and maintain control over your numbers. Plus, we have a pretty sweet spreadsheet that does most of the work for you.
#3
The fourth phase has you envision the future. What growth pathways exist, how can you continue to grow and scale in a healthy & sustainable way? What other opportunities are out there in the STR world? Phase 4 will have you busting out the vision boards & dreaming big.

“I just wanted to share a huge win I had yesterday that I would not have had if not for Sarah and Annette. Long story short…I spoke to them about finding a real estate mentor and they suggested I reach out to someone who’s doing what I want to do. A local investor/developer who’s been rehabbing and revitalizing our historic downtown with multi-family lofts for the last 10+years came to mind.
Then last Saturday he was on a boom lift as I happened to walk by his project and we set up a meeting for yesterday. We met for four hours, walked his project and he asked me to get on board. It honestly could not have gone better. Thank you, thank you, Sarah and Annette for that advice! Truly grateful.” -TJ Hess
