Have you ever considered investing in a short term rental property? Wondering how the process works and what it really takes to be successful? Or if it’s even worth it in Arizona? Listen in as these local experts share their best tips and knowledge.
Chianne Gething with Real Estate In Real Life is a passionate REALTOR® servicing the Phoenix and East Valley, as well as Rim Country and Payson, Arizona.
As an investor, Chianne brings real life experience to serve her clients. Named Real Estate in Real Life, she has made it her business to advocate for the ‘real life’ side of real estate – not just the pretty stuff we see on TV!
She first entered into homeownership at 18 years old, experiencing the recession and housing crash and short selling several years later. Determined to dust it off and get back up, she purchased again in 2015 what soon after became her first furnished vacation rental.
Since then, she and her mortgage broker husband, Brian have added several short term, mid and long term rental properties to their portfolio. Most properties have undergone small to large size renovations, design, styling and branding which is also a management service she offers to her clients.
Servicing both Scottsdale and East Valley, Payson, Strawberry and Pine – her real estate clients range from first time buyers to investors alike.
Chianne sits on the board of the Scottsdale Short Term Rental Alliance and is a member of the Arizonans for Responsible Tourism Coalition, advocating for healthy and reasonable regulations on short term rentals now that the industry has taken the state and city over by a storm.

Collectively, we’ve traveled to over 80 countries and know what matters most – an authentic experience. Far too often, rental homes feel like any other backdrop and hosts fall short on providing a first-class experience.

Our team is incredibly passionate about real estate, technology and travel. We came together to build a revolutionary hospitality brand through the power of tech automation in the short-term rental market.
With employees around the country and headquarters in Los Angeles, we currently operate homes in 60+ destinations across the United States. We can’t wait to host you at one of them soon!
For more than 16 years, Carey Shindler has called Phoenix home (a transplant, by way of Chicago). A hospitality enthusiast, she spent most of her career in the luxury resort business, selling some of the Valley’s best group-centric hotel properties.
In 2017, Carey secured her real estate license and ventured into the vacation rental space, assisting owners with their property management needs and growing a hugely successful portfolio of revenue maximizing homes, on behalf of a national firm.
Today, Carey is the Regional Sales Director, Team Lead, at AvantStay, overseeing the growth efforts of organic supply in both Arizona and Colorado.
