From managing properties in the islands to building a business in NC: growing a career side by side with Fractional Estate Manager Catherine Smith

Catherine Smith and her husband Stuart Smith have built a career in private service side by side.

They were living in the Virgin Islands when they stumbled upon a job in private service. For two years, Catherine managed the house while Stuart managed the property. Then, a hurricane changed everything — setting them on a new path to building their own fractional estate management business in their home state of North Carolina.

In this conversation, Catherine shares what it's like to grow your career alongside your spouse, and stories from their experiences managing properties in the islands and developing their own company.
