Owning a summer home is a dream for many Americans. The annual costs of keeping a summer home, however, remains a significant hurdle for most. You could try to make your second home a vacation rental to subsidize the costs or even get a return on your investment, but that's a lot of work most are equipped to handle.

Paul Kromidas, CEO and Founder of Summer joins Tech Nest to discuss these topics and more. Summer is working to create a better path to ownership of vacation homes. Homes that owners can use when they want, and rent out the rest of the year. One unique concept Summer is bringing to market is a gradual ownership model—a totally unique offering in the vacation or second homes market.

Vacation rentals have been all the hubbub this year. Listen in to Paul as he'll shed light on where the industry is and where it has room to grow.

S4E45 Interview with Michael Driedger, CEO of Operto

S4E45 Interview with Michael Driedger, CEO of Operto

Our founders both sought to improve wellbeing for people and the world we live in, but from diverse perspectives: green architecture and brain fitness. These unique paths converged thanks to a shared love of technology, sustainability, and travel. Operto was born from a desire to make life better for property managers, who are the busiest people we’ve ever met.Originally called Slickspaces, our first goal was to reduce the environmental impact and energy consumption of short-term vacation rentals. Like many problems, it was simple in theory but challenging to solve. Convincing guests to turn off lights and thermostats was impossible, so we turned to technology - using smart locks to automate the process.These early days of managing guest access revealed a much greater need. Property managers were spending countless hours getting guests in and out of their properties. They had almost no visibility into the status of their units and no centralized system from which to operate. While smart home technology was becoming increasingly common, nothing brought solutions together to create a truly cooperative ecosystem.That seed brought us to where we are today: the world’s leading operating system for property managers across the full spectrum of guest accommodations.Michael's LinkedInOperto Website
