Charla: Founder, Chief Inspiration Officer & Master of Coin
An entrepreneur from a young age it was only a matter of time before Charla started her own business. Charla moved to the Bow Valley in 1998 after studying Hotel Management in Canada and abroad. The majestic Canadian Rockies were the perfect location to put all her education into practice. What began as “I’m only staying for 6 months”, quickly turned into “why would I live anywhere else?”. In 2002, Charla purchased her first vacation rental property in Canmore. By late 2005 she added a second mountain investment property. Rockies Rentals was officially launched in 2008, and was quickly followed by many more properties.
Charla travels extensively and has mastered the art of working remotely. She is usually travelling between Alberta and Ontario, but enjoys heading to international destinations as often as she can. Charla is Chief of Operations and our numbers geek! She loves to innovate and keep the properties fresh and interesting. Her care and attention to detail will provide you with a superior owner experience. Charla is always on the lookout for the best technology to keep everything running smoothly.
Sean: King of Signals & Executive Porter
Sean graduated from Hotel & Restaurant Management in Ontario, Canada in 1998. He moved to the Bow Valley days after graduating, because he had accepted a position with Canadian Pacific Hotels (now the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel). After excelling in Food & Beverage Management positions Sean followed his true passion, a position in the Information Technology Department. Sean has worked internationally as a computer geek and has now returned to his mountain home in Canmore.
As our in-house Geek, Sean makes certain that our Canmore properties are decked out with super fast internet, stereos, and more. His goal is to make our rentals perfect for people working from home while staying in Canmore. Maintaining the technology at Rockies Rentals is almost a full-time job, so we’re grateful to have our own “Technology Whisperer”. Sean can usually be heard saying “have you tried unplugging it, and plugging it back in?”.
The Housekeeping & Maintenance Team
Rockies Rentals would be bankrupt if it weren’t for all the hard work and dedication of our Housekeeping & Maintenance Crew. They are rarely seen, but every Owner, Guest, and Tenant has experienced the care that is put into preparing our properties for the next occupant. Their attention to detail and magical bed-making skills (so fast, and so … PERFECT) make our H&M Crew the real MVP.
The Front Desk Team
Front Desk is the first point of contact for many of our Owners, Renters, Guests, and Vendors. Behind the scenes they answer calls, dispatch Housekeepers, communicate requests to Maintenance, organize all of our Guest Records, process payments, writes blogs and social media posts, coordinates with our vendors and tour partners, and keeps the rest of the team operating efficiently.
