Meet Our Team

Dreaming of a better life with more family time was the catalyst for Mike and Kristine’s transition from the corporate world to becoming real estate investors and entrepreneurs.  In 2005 Kristine and Mike began investing in real estate with a goal of owning 10 properties which became a reality by Spring of 2010.  The short stay industry offered a spectacular opportunity for revenue and growth.  With demand for accommodations increasing faster than the supply of 20 properties by 2012 they began managing homes for other investors culminating in a year over year growth rate on average of 45 to 50%.  Systems development and a strong management team were the keys to prosperity.  What transpired was the largest furnished and vacation rental company in Ontario and perhaps beyond.  Smart Stays Incorporated became a unique and successful pioneer in Ontario’s short stay accommodations industry with Mike and Kristine driving new business while also developing ways to increase profits for vacation rental homeowners.
