Chris Ritter
Cofounder » Chief Executive OfficerHi I’m Chris, a Virginia native with a wonderful wife and 3 kids. I received my bachelor’s degree from Duke and my MBA from UVA. After holding various corporate roles in business development, I started investing in real estate and achieved financial freedom in 18 months. Now I pursue short term investing full-time. I personally own Chateau Jolene and Blue Ridge Hollow, and have thoroughly enjoyed helping others achieve the success I’ve seen with these properties. With New School Hosting, I oversee client relations, business development, and revenue management.

James Crittenden
Cofounder » Chief Marketing & Finance OfficerHey, I’m James. I’m a Virginia Tech graduate with 15+ years of experience in sales and marketing. I’ve always been passionate about storytelling. Property listings that paint a vision for a premier guest experience (and the memories that come with it) perform at the highest rate. I own a digital marketing agency that helps brands achieve powerful results online and I bring that expertise to boutique property management. My role at New School Hosting is to oversee property marketing efforts, as well as copy & creative promotion.
Amy Brudin
Director of OperationsHi, I’m Amy! I recently retired from a 30 year career teaching math and serving as Director of Technology at several private schools throughout the DC/VA area. I’ve also personally owned vacation properties in North Carolina and South Carolina, and know exactly what it’s like to work with an “Old School” management company! I bring my 20+ years of rental experience to the job, along with a love of technology and a keen attention to detail. I’ve lived in Batesville, VA for the last 22 years with my husband, teenager, and assorted chickens. When I’m not hanging out at amazing vacation rental properties, I enjoy working my way through my vast pile of “To Be Read” books.
