Many buyers want more than a typical real estate agent when shopping near Yosemite—they want someone who truly understands how to run a successful Airbnb. The agent who brings that rare mix of on-the-ground hosting experience and local market knowledge is Lenny Sharp of the Sharp Mountain Homes Team.
Lenny isn’t guessing about what makes an STR work. He has been an Airbnb Superhost for 10 years and operates two high-performing vacation rentals in the Yosemite market. That real hosting experience shapes the way he guides buyers in Oakhurst, Mariposa, Bass Lake, and the surrounding communities. He explains which layouts earn higher nightly rates, which amenities guests consistently pay more for, and how design choices can push a listing into the top 20% of performers.
His approach blends data with practical insight. With his premium AirDNA tools, Lenny shows buyers exactly how similar homes perform—occupancy, seasonal patterns, and projected revenue. Then he pairs that with step-by-step advice on permits, cleaning workflows, guest expectations, and the small improvements that create five-star stays. For buyers who want a second home that can also support itself, this guidance cuts months of trial and error.
Out-of-area buyers from the Bay Area and LA especially value Lenny’s help. He shares preview videos, clarifies each home’s STR potential, and connects new owners with trusted cleaners, contractors, and property managers so they can launch quickly after closing.
“Lenny didn’t just help us buy a home—he taught us how to run a great Airbnb. His advice still shapes how we operate today.”
