Our Story
Built on Experience, Driven by Results
STRop was founded with a singular mission: to help property owners unlock the full potential of their investments through professional short-term rental management.
Chad started hosting by listing his grandma’s mountain home on Airbnb. That hands-on experience led him to join some friends and buy his first rental property in Branson, MO. After building a top-performing home, seeing the tax advantages, and watching how many owners were losing time and money to inefficient property managers, he decided to do things differently — engineering operational excellence with guest-first hospitality.
Today, we manage a diverse portfolio of properties, combining hands-on local service with data-driven strategies that consistently outperform market averages. Our success is measured by one metric: our owners' satisfaction and returns.
