with great love
HEY, I'm AMANDA.
I stumbled upon the world of Airbnb when I transitioned from my eleven year career in the insurance industry to brokering mortgages.. I was looking to bridge a temporary gap in income and I wound up falling IN LOVE with this industry.
Through How to Host, I integrated my two passions - design & business. By combining these, we have began to revive the boring world of property management and add a fun and intricate twist to the industry.
I can't wait to help you begin your Airbnb journey.
Here to Host, Here to Help.
Always Grateful,
Amanda Van Der Lee
