Why I’m the Go-To Realtor in Winter Park for Short-Term Rentals

🏡 Why I’m the Go-To Realtor in Winter Park for Short-Term Rentals (STRs)

If you're looking to invest in a vacation home that pays for itself, Winter Park, Colorado is one of the last true ski towns where short-term rentals are still booming. With strong year-round demand and no city-wide STR ban in surrounding towns like Fraser and Granby, the opportunity for cash-flowing investment properties is real — if you know where to look.

That’s where I come in.

💡 Who I Am

I’m Nazreen Kashani, a local Colorado realtor based in Grand County. I specialize in helping buyers, sellers, and investors navigate the unique dynamics of the mountain real estate market — especially when it comes to Airbnb-friendly properties.

• 🎓 Master’s in Data Science + background at Fortune 500 companies

• 🏠 Personally owned and operated successful Airbnbs in Colorado

• 📊 Use AirDNA and local rental data to project occupancy, nightly rates, and ROI

• 🏔️ Live and work full-time in Grand County: Winter Park, Fraser, Granby, and beyond

🔑 Why Work With Me for STRs?

Most agents can show you homes. But when you’re buying an investment property — especially one intended for Airbnb — you need more than just a tour guide.

Here’s how I go above and beyond:

✅ I Use Real Data — Not Guesswork

I subscribe to AirDNA, the leading short-term rental analytics platform, and run customized reports on:

• Average Daily Rate (ADR)

• Occupancy %

• Annual revenue

• Seasonality patterns

• STR regulations by neighborhood

You’ll know exactly what to expect before you buy.

✅ I Know the Local Rules

Some neighborhoods are zoned for STRs, while others have HOA restrictions or minimum night stays. I help you find properties that are:

• STR approved or unrestricted

• Within areas of strong rental demand

• Likely to retain value long-term

✅ I Walk the Talk

I’ve personally run Airbnbs — I know what travelers look for, what cleaning crews charge, how to maximize bookings, and which layouts perform best. I coach my clients on:

• Layout optimization

• Pricing strategy

• Owner-use + rental balance

• Local cleaner and property manager referrals

🛠️ You Don’t Just Get a Realtor — You Get My Network

Buying a short-term rental in the mountains means you’ll eventually need help — whether it’s cleaning between guests, fixing a hot tub, or finishing a basement to increase capacity. I connect my buyers with my trusted network of local professionals, including:

• STR cleaners & property management 

• Handymen & general contractors

• Licensed electricians & plumbers

• Hot tub techs

• Snow removal & lawn care crews

• Interior designers & stagers

Having the right team in place is key to running a successful Airbnb in a mountain town. I’ve already built those relationships for you.

📊 How I Use AirDNA + Real Listings to Maximize STR Profit

A property isn’t just about location — it’s about performance. I analyze what similar listings in the area are doing well, then help you make strategic decisions on:

• Guest capacity (higher sleep count = more booking opportunities)

• Amenities that increase nightly rate (hot tubs, fireplaces, EV chargers, boot warmers, coffee bars, etc.)

• Pet-friendly setups

• Seasonal pricing strategy

• Owner-use vs. full-time rental ROI

• Renovation ideas to increase value and rental appeal

I combine AirDNA analytics with active market comps and listing descriptions to help you buy a home that doesn’t just look good — it performs.
