[NOT] A breath of fresh air!
[UPDATE] Things did not continue on such a high note. Of course, COVID played a part in making things challenging. However, Jerry Conti and LuxHomePro did not uphold their end of things. They negotiated a predatory deal and pulled the property out from under us in the second year after we put $20k+ into improving it, earning superhost status, and greatly improving the visibility and profitability of the property on multiple listing sites. Dave Bynum is great, and I believe he was taken advantage of as well by LuxHomePro and Jerry Conti.]
My experience in working with LuxHomePro has been like a breath of fresh air in the business world!
This is a top-class organization that really does things right. You won't find a more genuine or giving person than Dave Bynum - he wears his heart on his sleeve and really pours everything into his students. The entire leadership team in this company displays a tremendous "servant leadership" ethos that carries through everything they do, and they are always pushing to make things even better.
Are they perfect? Far from it! Like every company, LuxHomePro has it's shortcomings, and I'll talk about a few of those in more detail. But the genuine compassion for people and humility to accept feedback and improve make it easy to forgive the small faults they do have.
The online training platform is excellent, and getting better every week. The instructional courses are very detailed and walk you through each phase of launching a luxury vacation rental business. And if that isn't enough, there are live calls to get your questions answered, have deals reviewed, and even live classes to keep you accountable and ensure you are taking daily action to build a serious business you'll be proud to share with your friends and family.
Our first introduction to LuxHomePro was a live bootcamp my wife and I attended in Scottsdale after watching a webinar. There is always a certain level of skepticism when going into something new, but we believed in the opportunity and timing of the market, and talking to other students the first evening at the "meet and greet" gave us a sense that if we were willing to put in the work, there was no reason we couldn't be successful at this, too!
A few things were not ideal. Session times were adjusted from day to day, and didn't hold to the pre-published schedule, which made it difficult for my wife to juggle some remote work responsibilities. Time management of sessions (some went too long, others were rushed) could have been handled better. And although we were asked about special dietary requirements beforehand because of allergy concerns, no one followed up with us at the event to make sure we knew where and how to get safe food. One of the activities we did felt like a waste of time. And aspects of the event could certainly be improved.
But overall, the tremendous value we got from the event far outweighed any of these minor inconveniences. LuxHomePro truly valued our feedback and suggestions, and I'm sure the next bootcamp was that much better. The sessions were highly informative, and the hands-on learning where we all piled into vans and went out to assess several properties together was invaluable. It really made doing this business something tangible.
We were scheduled to ride along and observe Dave work some deals with other students to give us some first-hand experience. But when it became clear we were the only ones scheduled for those days, Dave opened up a tremendously generous opportunity for us and said, "If you want to work, I'll work your deals with you while you are here." It took some months of negotiating, and some potential deals fell through, but in October we finally took control of the house that was my first choice out of all the deals we looked at during that trip. LuxHomePro Holdings was established and through that facet was able to negotiate on our behalf and strike a deal with an owner who was otherwise hesitant about having an out-of-state operator.
The transition into taking over the property was done on a very fast timeline that was far from ideal. And the communication was at times not as clear as it could have been, which party in the deal was responsible for certain things was changed on very short notice, and certain aspects around the flow of money from the property and funds distribution were not disclosed beforehand - normal hurdles of doing business that should probably be expected when communicating back and forth through a third-party. But despite these shortfalls, the LuxHomePro team really went out of their way to make the transition as smooth as possible and take as many things off our plate as they possibly could, enabling us to focus on the critical time-sensitive tasks involved in getting the property up and running.

LuxHomePro The Real Deal!!
I was first introduced to LuxHomePro through a Webinar in April of 2019. I was intrigued enough to attend a 4 day informational event in early May 2019. What I learned excited me and I decided to become a student of the LuxHomePro training and embark on an emerging and exciting investment opportunity! Since then, through the methods and mentoring of the LuxHomePro team, I have
achieved a new level of perspective regarding my investment future. The LuxHomePro team has met, NO, exceeded my greatest expectations!! They do what they say they will do and their training has been spot on! I have learned things I could or would never have been able to develop on my own. In addition to the LuxHomePro team, I have met and gained expertise from professionals and industry leaders that I cannot place a value on! From my first exposure until now my life and attitude towards my investment future has been transformed! The LuxHomePro team has ALWAYS been there to assist in my growth!! I simply can’t say enough to convey my feelings and gratitude for LuxHomePro!!

The Real Deal
The Real Deal
My wife and I decided to affiliate with LuxHomePro in May, 2019 after attending one of their Bootcamp seminars. We were looking for a new business opportunity with significant potential, and this one appeared to check all the boxes. I can tell you that our experience to date has been more than satisfactory. The owners and staff are pros in this industry, they’re top notch business people, and they’re honest, quality individuals. The training in the Luxury Home-Sharing industry they’ve provided us has not only been adequate, but has FAR EXCEEDED what was promised. They continually introduce new programs and initiatives to help their students succeed, and we’ve never once seen them fail to meet a commitment or bend over backwards to support us. After knowing and working with them for four months, I can report that they are the real deal, and I highly recommend LuxHomePro.

My friend owns a great vacation home…
My friend owns a great vacation home company and was approached by Dave with LuxHomePro to get into a team with them because they wanted to expand and manage vacation homes in the Fort Lauderdale and Miami area. He showed up with a few students that he is training to be in this business. He explained to my friend that he was going to invest and buy 6 homes and of course she wanted to be a part of it.
She contacted me immediately since I am a realtor and we worked diligently to find the 6 homes that best matched the criteria. We showed all the best homes and they chose 2 and then we knew they wanted to offer a lease option to buy in 6 months to a year, while they put their plan to work. I asked and they would not be willing to lose the deposit if they did not pursue the sale but Dave said that it rarely happen they do not close.
To make the story short, while we were preparing the numbers they said they needed to choose the home, they went back to the home they were more interested in and talk directly to the owner.
Immediately, the owner contacted us to let us know we should not be wasting out time trying to help them since they went directly to the seller in complete disregards of our work and time.
They said it was a mistake but realtors be aware of this team in town.

Response from LuxHomePro· Aug 30, 2019
Dear Silvana,
We regret that you had a less than positive experience with our company. However, our intention in communicating with you was entirely in the spirit of completing what we believed could be a positive win-win business proposition. Our business involves training and coaching people in identifying and negotiating to acquire or lease properties that can be converted to vacation rental properties and operated successfully. It is our practice at times to bring several groups of students to metropolitan areas where suitable properties may be available. We encourage students to reach out to homeowners or their agents to schedule appointments to look at properties. We then assist students in visiting those properties and assessing their viability as vacation rental properties.
We acknowledge that two different students, working independently, found the same property in your locale. The first student visited the property based on you scheduling an appointment with the homeowner, who is apparently also an agent. The second student booked an appointment with the homeowner/agent, unbeknownst to the first student or Dave Bynum. We did not realize it was the same property until we visited it on the second day. At that time, the homeowner/agent met us in the front yard, allowed our second group to view the property and then asked us “what are you going to do?” Dave Bynum replied that we’d create an overview and if a student wanted to negotiate for the property we’d contact the agent -- you. The homeowner/agent then became upset and called you indicating that Dave was trying to circumvent you, which could not have been further from the truth.
Therefore, we did visit the property on two successive days with two different groups of students. However, when we realized this, we felt that in fairness the first student who had scheduled an appointment should be empowered to work with you on behalf of the homeowner to make an offer. We understand that you may have been confused as to why two different groups were visiting the same property on successive days. However, when we tried to explain the situation you didn’t want to hear anything we had to say...
Again, we truly regret that your experience with us was not positive, but we feel it could have been if you had allowed us to explain the confusion and bring a bona fide offer to the table for your client. We are proud of our record of success in working with homeowners and agents to acquire or lease properties that create very attractive business results for all involved. Had we been given the opportunity to work with you we believe that such a result could have been achieved.
