Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Sleepyhead Homes. My passion for managing short-term rentals is deeply rooted in the community I’ve called home since I moved to Portland, Maine, at the age of 15. Raised in Somalia and Ethiopia, I understand the value of hard work and the importance of a strong, supportive community. After attending Southern Maine Community College and the University of Southern Maine, I have worked with hundreds of local families in the non-profit sector.
At Sleepyhead Homes, my goal is simple: to help property owners protect their time while maximizing the potential of their real estate investments. I leverage my deep ties to hardworking families in the Greater Portland area to go beyond traditional short-term rental management. I take pride in solving a wide range of needs from handling the essentials like guest communication, listing optimization, and cleaning to connecting clients with my wide network for repairs, landscaping, and even child-care.
I’ve built a track record of success, exemplified by the outcomes at my property on Orland Street. Through thoughtful management, I was able to make the numbers work in a high interest rate market by earning high occupancy, positive guest experiences, and strong financial returns. I am responsive and adaptable, always striving to go above and beyond for my five clients in Portland, Falmouth, and Freeport.
With Sleepyhead Homes, you can expect more than just management - you’ll gain a trusted partner who is committed to helping you achieve the full potential of your property. I look forward to meeting you. Sleep easy, we will handle the rest.
Warm regards,
Qamer Hussein
Founder, Sleepyhead Homes
