Owner of the Clever Cohost Tony Hughes

I’m Tony, the owner and founder of The Clever Cohost. This all started from the simple satisfaction I get from hospitality, creating enjoyable experiences, and helping others in their short term rental hosting journey. Being an owner, along with my wife, of a short term rental, I’ve learned first hand what it takes to get a property off the ground and running. From furnishing, creating listings, guest communications, and getting it ready for the next stay, I've been a part of every step of the process. I’ve had to learn first hand how to navigate a duvet cover, and detangled more loads of bedding from the dryer than I can count. All that to say, my experiences have taught me a lot and I’m excited to pass along my insight and expertise to owners and investors of short term rentals.

I’m well versed in the current trends and algorithms of the major short term rental platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo, and understand that it takes great care to make a listing stand out. I leverage software, systems, and teams of people to make your short term rental operate smoothly and without a hitch.

I’m also a licensed real estate agent in the state of Ohio and draw much of my insights and knowledge from the real estate market. I hope this gives you some peace of mind as I understand that one of the goals of a great real estate investment is consist positive cash flow.

Outside of all of this, I am married to my beautiful wife Sharon and have three amazing children. I enjoy photography, travel, riding bikes, going on hikes, cooking, and too many podcasts to list.

I hope to partner with you on your short term rental journey!
