Ethan and Seth became great friends in highschool where they played basketball (Ethan has yet to beat Seth in a game of horse). After high school they both went different directions with Ethan working in the tech industry and Seth working in the construction industry. Ethan got started in the STR industry by investing in tiny homes and Seth got started by building a new construction property. Their experiences managing the properties lead them to starting Leisr Stays so that they could help property owners and investors experience financial freedom.

    Ethan and his wife Abby have 2 boys named Justus and Ezekiel and call Charlotte, NC home. He and Seth have been good friends since high school and have stayed closely connected in part for their shared passion for real estate investing and hospitality. Ethan has been a part of multiple software start-ups and brings a very tech-forward approach to his short-term rental management to ensure a great experience for guests.

  • Chloe Buehler

She is very excited to bring some of that experience into the short term rental space with Leisr Stays.
