John Hildebrand of Hilde Homes joins us today for a discussion on all our favorite topics! John's company is based out of Scottsdale, AZ with properties in Arizona and California and has risen to fame as a Brand Ambassador for Airbnb. Despite having this important role with Airbnb, John's account got suspended last year - a shocking and frustrating mystery that Airbnb couldn't even explain. This incident made John realized the importance of building his own brand off the platform, and why creating his own direct booking strategy was critically important.
John is President of the Scottsdale chapter of Rent Responsibly, and has become a respected figure within the destination for his efforts to guide smart legislation. Although he credits Airbnb with a great deal of his success, he too agrees with the "we are not Airbnb" movement. Are we short term rentals, or vacation rentals? Is saying that we're professional a differentiator? Tune in to find out!
