Gyorgy once said
that "discovery
consists of seeing what
everybody has seen and thinking
what nobody has thought.” It’s a
description that captures what
sets LuxHomePro, its processes
and its cofounders apart from
others. In a nutshell, they think
differently about luxury vacation
rental property.
Founding partners Jerry Conti
and Dave Bynum were introduced
by a mutual friend. At the time,
Jerry was looking for a fresh,
innovative and lucrative
opportunity to market.
Dave had just completed an
eightyear, remarkably
innovative and profitable lead
generation program he had
developed and managed for a
number of major banks from
20012008. With that project
finished, Dave was also looking
for something new that he could
really embrace and enjoy as
much as he had enjoyed the
leadgen project.
Keep an open mind:
Unexpected connections
In truth, nothing innovative
happens in a vacuum, and rarely
at a convenient time.
As it turns out, Dave was in
the midst of planned chaos on
the day Jerry called to follow
up. That chaos included a
camera crew and live taping
session with Dean Graziosi.
Just days earlier, someone else
previously unknown to Dave had
tracked him down in an effort to
become a silent financial partner
on any project Dave had in mind.
At the time, Dave didn’t have
anything in mind.
Dave kept an open mind to see
where it all would lead.
Something clicked in the
conversations with Jerry. Their
synergy, diverse areas of
expertise, shared ethics of
openness and trust, serving
others, and creating winwinwin
opportunities that also allowed
for big, ethical profits resulted in
the launch of LuxHomePro at the
end of 2017.
Culling from his years of
experience fixing and flipping
homes and shortterm rentals,
Dave applied his knowledge to
what he saw as a new emerging
trend: an increasing demand by
travelers to rent luxury homes,
rather than stay in hotels.
AirBNB, VRBO and similar
platforms were beginning to pay
attention to the trend as well,
which opened up even more
opportunities for the untapped
winwinwin Dave recognized.
“I see opportunities
that people don’t
see...I can align the
dots enough to get it
going and then work
through any failures
to fix things and
make it work.”
