Hi everyone!
I'm Mike, based in Northern Utah. My professional background is in marketing and business development, and I've recently become involved in an exciting luxury real estate development called Zion Shores in Southern Utah.
It's a unique project combining luxury second-home ownership with world-class surfing and outdoor recreation.
I'm joining BiggerPockets to learn from others in the real estate community and connect with people involved in vacation properties, resort developments, and luxury residential real estate.
I'd love to hear from anyone with experience in lifestyle-focused developments or second-home markets. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
With your background too, we would all love to learn a thing or two from you while your online!
We all wish you the best of luck with your endeavors here with BP and as an individual also in the Northern Region of Utah, let me know how I might be able to assist!
Your Zion Shores project sounds interesting and I would love to learn more!
@Mike Simmons Welcome, Mike! Zion Shores sounds like an exciting project! If you or your network ever need help exploring financing options for real estate investments or second homes, feel free to reach out. Happy to connect!
Welcome, @Mike Simmons! Your marketing and business-development background should translate well to a lifestyle-focused project, where the experience and community can matter as much as the homes themselves.
Zion Shores sounds like an interesting concept. I’d be curious how the team is evaluating seasonality, owner usage versus rental demand, ongoing amenity costs, and the depth of the buyer pool for a surf-centered second-home community.
You should find plenty of useful perspectives here from investors and operators in vacation rentals, resort markets, and luxury development.
