Meet Zane Gilbert

Zane Gilbert founded Expert CoHost to bring a fresh, analytically-driven approach to vacation rental management in the Gatlinburg and Sevier County market.

With a background in applied physics from Purdue University and proven success in ecommerce operations, Zane applies the same data-driven methodology and attention to detail to short-term rental management that made his previous ventures successful.

His approach combines modern technology—dynamic pricing tools, automation systems, and strategic marketing—with a commitment to transparent, relationship-based service that stands apart from typical property management companies.
