Back in 2012, Talia dove headfirst into the vacation rental scene and hasn’t looked back since. Starting at HomeAway, she zoomed from newbie to leadership in no time, thanks to her knack for solving puzzles and her zeal for helping folks out. By 2018, she was rocking it at Rented, boosting their lease arbitrage biz and spearheading sales for some seriously smart revenue management tools. Life got even more exciting as she stepped into motherhood and, not one to slow down, Talia joined StayFi in 2022 as their Head of Sales. There, she was all about helping rental pros create standout brands and kiss booking woes goodbye. Not just content with one gig, Talia also co-launched HereStays.com, your go-to for snagging the best #bookdirect spots in Texas. Fast forward to 2023, and she’s shaking things up at Hosteeva, bringing their top-shelf property management software to the masses after a decade in the making. But wait, there’s more! Talia’s true passion? Lighting a fire under small businesses in the vacation rental game. She’s the behind-the-scenes hero who helped some folks grow their empires from one pad to hundreds. While she treasures her Hosteeva fam, for Talia, it’s all about selling something she believes in and making a real impact—one vacation rental at a time. So, that’s Talia—part sales guru, part tech whiz, and all about making a splash in the vacation rental world!
