The story
Why he started
He never found a business with real recurring income until he found property management. The idea came while travelling through Colombia: in more than ten Airbnbs he saw the same problems every time.
Four days after joining he set up The Hostkeeper, to build his own brand from day one, and he put Belgium first.

How it happened
What made the difference.
Thinking big from the start
Instead of chasing single flats, he went after owners with more than one unit: an owner with 28 properties, a building with 15 rooms, a developer.
The lead came to him
The developer found Josse through his own ad campaign.
Trust, not price
He won the deal by showing proven systems, a clear way of working and the experience of his coaches behind him.
Practice before the meeting
Role-plays beforehand made the sales meeting itself easy.
In Josse’s own words
“Just signed my first deal: 3 studio’s (full building) in Antwerp city centre (oudaan) b2b client, real estate developer, potential growth to 15-20”
“Keep calling and texting your leads until you have a clear no.”
Where things stand
Signed, and what is still open.
- Signed
A whole building of three studios on Oudaan, Antwerp city centre, for a real estate developer. Going live within 14 days of signing.

More units from the same developer.
Built from Josse’s coaching channel, his own posts and the HostPro CRM, checked 4 November 2026. Owners stay anonymous. Individual results, not a promise of what you will achieve.
