On today's podcast, episode #78 with special guest Erin Monett, owner and operator of Trott Cottage, we discuss the ups and down of owning and renting out a lakeside cottage property. Erin is the owner of 2 cottages which she rents out via Airbnb and markets on social media. Her success with her businesses is an admirable feat. As a registered real estate agent she has a wealth of knowledge that aids her with the logistics of renting properties and she continuously demonstrates a thorough understanding of exactly how to apply her skill set to achieve results. With Erin as our guest, we touch on many topics such as how to market yourself on social media, off the grid cottage properties, the benefits and risks related to operating an Airbnb, and the modern idea of renting in Toronto, or the GTA, and making your purchases further away in cottage country. Oh and also a cute cat and murder hornets. All of that and more on today’s episode of KT Confidential - Real Estate Podcast. **************************** Check out what Erin is up to: https://www.instagram.com/trottcottage/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/monettbay/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/monettandco/?hl=en **************************** Watch the previous episode here: https://youtu.be/0ESmFXBAv-A Catch clips and highlights of the show here: http://www.instagram.com/kormendytrott **************************** The founders, Ariel Kormendy and Adrian Trott, started The Kormendy Trott Team, a real estate team based out of Halton region in Ontario, after both being in need of a change from their successful careers in the automotive industry and both experiencing the lack of service being provided in the real estate industry. They kicked off their careers in 2011 and quickly became a top-performing team in the country, ranking 17th of approximately 200 for Century 21 in 2017; as a team of just the two of them compared to much larger teams. They decided that they needed to take their team from being real estate agents in Milton to the rest of the GTA and beyond by expanding and servicing more areas. The team has since grown to have an administrative arm, media department and successful sales team operating a smooth running and successful business.
