Krista—a seasoned Realtor and investor with over a decade of experience—has earned her reputation for spotting high-potential investment opportunities and guiding clients toward their strategic goals. Locally known as the go-to expert for short-term and vacation rentals, Krista combines a deep understanding of where zoning laws meet opportunity with a proven talent for setting up properties for massive success. Her expertise has made her a recognized name in the investment property community.

A featured speaker on Vacation Rental Investing at the International Short-Term Rental Convention, Krista is also the Founder and Visionary behind Salty Dog Vacations. She works tirelessly to match clients with investment properties that perfectly align with their objectives.  Krista is the author of “The Boss Lady Investor Book”  (available on Amazon) and host of “The Boss Lady Investor Podcast,” and “The 4-Seasons of Vacation Rental Investments Podcast.”

When she’s not closing deals or recording podcasts, Krista adores spending time with her two dogs and two horses, and she can often be found traveling, working out, boating, scuba diving, riding her motorcycle, or chasing her next adrenaline-filled adventure. She calls Daytona Beach home and is driven by one mission: helping others achieve their investment dreams.

Kym, CEO of Salty Dog Vacations, is one of the company’s foundational pillars. Fluent in Vietnamese, Kym was born in Vietnam and, at just five years old, escaped with her family to the United States as political refugees. After more than 20 years in California, she moved to Florida in 1998 to begin a new chapter with her two daughters, Molly and Samantha.

Kym spent 25 years advancing through the financial services industry, ultimately serving as President of a financial institution. After retiring from that role, she pivoted to real estate—quickly discovering a passion for investment properties. Within a year, she joined forces with Krista at Salty Dog Vacations, bringing her financial expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to helping clients succeed.
