STR Services · Myrtle Beach & Grand Strand
You self-manage because you want control — not because you want to do it alone from 500 miles away. I'm your boots on the ground.
Flagship Service
Less than one hour of a property manager's monthly cut — with none of the loss of control. A flat monthly fee covers two property checks, contractor coordination, and on-call availability when something comes up.
Who this is for
Remote self-managers with 1–4 units in the Myrtle Beach / Horry County market who want local visibility without handing over control to a property management company.
Investors who bought in Myrtle Beach and now manage from Charlotte, Atlanta, New York, or elsewhere — and need a trusted set of eyes on the ground.
Owners who had a bad experience with a property manager and want a lighter-touch alternative that keeps them in charge.
À La Carte Services
Not ready for a monthly partnership? Use individual services as needed. Many clients start with a single inspection and convert once they see what consistent visibility is worth.

How It Works
Call, text, or email. Tell me about your property and what you're looking for. No forms, no funnel — just a direct conversation.
I send a brief intake form to capture your property details, access info, and service preferences. Takes about 10 minutes.
A straightforward independent contractor agreement — clear scope, flat pricing, no surprises. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
I visit the property, document the baseline condition, and deliver your first report. From that point on, you have eyes on the ground.
Additional Service
As a licensed REALTOR® and active STR operator in the Myrtle Beach market, I can guide you from market analysis through acquisition, renovation planning, listing setup, and your first booking.
This isn't a handoff to a buyer's agent who's never run an Airbnb. You get an advisor who has bought, renovated, listed, and operated properties in this exact market.
