Description

On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke welcomes Tim Grillot back to the show—a real estate investor, car enthusiast, and now vacation rental photographer—who shares his journey from corporate life to STR ownership and creative entrepreneurship. They dive deep into the evolution of Airbnb photography, the technical side of staging and lighting, and how Tim and his wife are helping STR owners showcase their properties through immersive, guest-focused imagery. The episode also touches on vacation-town living, hospitality mindsets, and why answering your phone can set you apart.
