KB Luxury Home Hosting
Walking through a home with Krista Baum is like being with a mashup of Martha Stewart, Marie Kondo, and your best friend. She knows where the cutlery is, how to work the fancy stove, can give you a reco for a fab in-home masseuse, all while styling your new living room furniture.
Krista is the “KB” of KB Luxury Home Hosting, a boutique cohost and luxury home management agency, based in Brigantine. If you’re a homeowner who could use help with your own home or rental property – no matter what aspect, Krista and her team at KB Luxury Home Hosting are here for you. And “luxury” doesn’t refer to size or grandeur.

“I’m here to meet the goal of client, working on the front end in the home and the back end in AirBnB to get the best results possible,” said Krista.
