Cozi serves the entire Texas Hill Country and surrounding areas, connecting guests and property owners to the best luxury vacation rentals and experiences this beautiful part of Texas offers. Cozi provides 24/7 property management and marketing services for owners and unforgettable experiences for guests. Originally founding the business out of Baltimore, MD, in 2013, Matt grew his managed portfolio in this market and throughout the East Coast to 150 homes from 2014 to 2019. During the same time, he worked full-time as a Global Business Development Manager for Northrop Grumman and attended grad school at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, where he obtained his MBA in Marketing and Data Analytics in 2018. Matt was fortunate to meet his beautiful wife, Jenna, originally from Austin, Texas. In the summer of 2019, Jenna easily convinced Matt to move back to Texas to  be near her family. Upon moving, Matt left his full-time job at Northrop and pursued Cozi Vacation Rentals full-time. In March 2020, COVID ultimately shut down Cozi’s East Coast Market. From this point, Matt chose to solely focus Cozi's growth on the drive-to tourism markets of the Texas Hill Country just south of Austin. Since April 2020, Matt has organically grown the Cozi Vacation Rentals unit portfolio in Texas from 0 to 400+ units with a team of over 50 full-time employees. In their free time, Matt and his wife Jenna enjoy spending time with their precious daughter Grayson Virginia, traveling, and rehabbing and remodeling properties.  Get in Touch with MattWebsite: https://www.cozivr.com/ Matt’s Real Estate Services: https://join.cozivr.com/ LinkedIn: Matt DurretteTo Connect With UsPlease visit our website www.bonavestcapital.com and click here to leave a rating and written review!
