Abby Shank saw a demand for better quality tiny homes with a quicker build time and set out to do just that. With almost a decade of experience in the tiny home industry, Abby is eager to provide a better quality build and living experience through her homes and communities.
Abby is solving that problem by partnering with other companies, essentially becoming a tiny house builder who doesn’t build all of the houses herself.
Ethan and Abby discuss the evolution of Tiny Estates from a community of vacation homes to permanent residences and all of the work that that shift entailed, plus Abby’s new business model.
