Steve Schwab
Casago
Founder & CEO
At the core of my business philosophy lies a belief: we are in the business of human connection, funded by the operations of Short Term Rentals. This ethos has not only guided my career but also transformed the way I view success in the vacation rental industry. From my time in the military to establishing Cyndi’s Beach Home Rentals in Mexico, every step of my journey has been about fostering connections and creating meaningful experiences.
Over 23 years, Casago has become more than a company; it’s a system with like-minded people to build better lives and more profitable businesses. Our approach is rooted in the conviction that the best businesses are those that serve the greater good, facilitating connections and contributing to communities.
My passion for human connection extends beyond work. I cherish my time spent fishing, scuba diving, and hiking with my son. I’m equally enthusiastic about exploring new experiences, traveling to unseen places, and experiencing the diverse tapestry of human cultures.
