KeyCrew Media Selects Brooke Pfautz as Verified Expert for Vacation Rental Management and Property Technology

KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected Brooke Pfautz, CEO and Founder of Vintory, as a KeyCrew Verified Expert.

NATIONWIDE, December 12, 2025 — KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected Brooke Pfautz, CEO and Founder of Vintory, as a KeyCrew Verified Expert. Pfautz will contribute data-driven analysis on vacation rental management, property technology innovation, and industry consolidation trends.

KeyCrew Verified Experts are carefully selected as prolific market trend authorities who demonstrate exceptional insight and expertise in their fields. These distinguished professionals regularly contribute market insights, expert perspectives, and forward-looking analysis to help audiences navigate complex industry landscapes.

Brooke Pfautz brings unparalleled expertise to the vacation rental management sector, having helped over 950 companies scale their portfolios through strategic growth initiatives. As founder of both Vintory and Comparent, Pfautz has established herself as a leading voice on data-driven property acquisition, AI integration in hospitality operations, and market consolidation dynamics. Her work encompasses the largest database of vacation rental homeowners globally and the industry’s first comprehensive ranking system through the Comparent 100.

With 18 years of experience in the short-term rental industry, Pfautz successfully scaled Vantage Realty to over 500 properties before its acquisition. She has since focused on revolutionizing how professional vacation rental managers approach growth through Vintory’s data and marketing platform, which aggregates information from over 10 sources to create what she calls “stacked data architecture” — a proprietary approach that provides unprecedented accuracy in homeowner targeting.

Pfautz’s insights on artificial intelligence adoption have positioned her as a forward-thinking industry authority. She advocates that property managers not implementing AI-native tools by 2026 risk competitive obsolescence, emphasizing that data capture — particularly call recordings and guest communications — represents the critical intellectual property that will differentiate winners in an increasingly AI-driven marketplace.

“I’m honored to be selected as a KeyCrew Verified Expert,” said Brooke Pfautz. “The vacation rental management industry is at a pivotal moment where data quality and AI adoption will separate thriving companies from those left behind. Having helped nearly 1,000 companies with their growth strategies, I’ve seen firsthand how the right data and technology stack can transform a mid-sized operator into a market leader. I’m excited to share insights that help property managers navigate consolidation pressures, leverage their unique data assets, and position themselves strategically whether they’re scaling independently or preparing for acquisition.”

Pfautz’s areas of expertise include:

• Vacation Rental Management Growth Strategies — Proven frameworks for inventory acquisition and scaling beyond 10 million in gross bookings
• Property Technology & AI Integration — Strategic guidance on AI-native tools, data architecture, and competitive positioning
• Market Consolidation & M&A Dynamics — Insights on institutional capital trends, acquisition metrics, and positioning for exit
• Homeowner Data & Marketing Analytics — Expertise in multi-source data aggregation, targeting precision, and marketing ROI optimization
