About 100 miles north of Phoenix, The Strawberry Inn is a unique boutique hotel located in Arizona’s scenic Rim Country that’s designed for roadtrippers, adventure seekers and nature-lovers. Owners Carson Eilers and Amber Eilers are a husband and wife team who are self-described \u201cserial entrepreneurs\u201d who also manage Original Realty Co., a full service boutique real estate brokerage in Scottsdale.<\/p>

“We have been working together since the very beginning of our relationship,” says Amber, reflecting on the couple\u2019s 11-year marriage and two children. \u201cTogether, we’ve flipped hundreds of houses, built several businesses and are always looking for new opportunities. When we’re not working, we both love trying new restaurants, grabbing drinks with friends, going to concerts, and traveling to new places.\u201d<\/p>

What does it mean to be an innovator to you?<\/h2>

\u201cWe both really try to be forward thinkers and anticipate industry shifts,\u201d says Amber. \u201cWith the hotel, we saw an opportunity to create something really unique and new for the area. People flocked to it because it filled a gap in what travelers were looking for! We’re over six years in now, and we continue to try to adapt to create incredible experiences for guests. With the real estate brokerage, we discovered that the research said that most new agents quit after less than a year in the industry. We wanted to change that and create opportunities for agents to grow and thrive, while still serving clients with excellence!\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
