We Are Beckon

A Nashville-born property management company built on hospitality, hustle, and heart.

"Wherever you go, be the heart of that place."

Our Story

How It Started

Beckon Homes was founded in 2015 by husband and wife team, Isabeau Miller and Shaun Balin, on the principle that a vacation should feel like home, only better. We believe in doing right by our team, our clients and our guests, and lead with respect, kindness, hustle and heart to ensure a seamless and top-notch experience for anyone who crosses our path. ​Isabeau moved to Nashville in 2006, and quickly turned around to film NBC's, "The Biggest Loser" in Los Angeles. Her appearance on national television, partnered with other opportunities in the media launched her first business- a series of "Fitcamps" where Isabeau shared her life-changing knowledge with people from around the world in seminar structure getaways.

The Early Years

From Music to Management

​​ After selling that business in 2009, Isabeau spent 5 years working in finance and real estate. A family investment in a single Nashville property inspired Isabeau to fill a void for high end property management, outfitting and hospitality professionals, and Beckon was born. Shaun moved to Nashville in 2007- the year after Isabeau- and immediately found success as a musician, hopping on a tour bus to play fiddle/violin, banjo, guitar and mandolin almost immediately. Being gone mostly weekends, Shaun found himself as the recipient of job requests to help manage Beckon homes when he was home- everything from fixing broken items to cleaning the homes to greeting guests and all in between!

Where We Are Today

Building Beckon Nationwide

In 2015 Shaun took over as COO of Beckon Homes, overseeing the intricacies of running the business and maintaining each property to its owners' exacting standards. ​Isabeau, CEO, and Shaun, COO lead a team of incredible employees in multiple sectors and markets throughout Nashville, The Smoky Mountains, Cape Cod, Florida, California, and the other markets they're rapidly expanding into. They are real estate investors and Airbnb home owners themselves, now, as well as investors in startup companies, varying in nature. Isabeau and Shaun have three young sons- Beckham, Luca and Hadley, and host a podcast on what it takes to run a business with your partner. ​They still have music in their lives and have found success as songwriters, and are incredibly passionate about building the Beckon brand around the country by helping to create interesting, unique and noteworthy spaces that travelers can't wait to visit, and owners can't wait to invest in!

Our Mission

We are Beckon. We believe in a world without borders.

A world where family can be reunited. Where friends can celebrate. Where one can feel at home in our home anytime.

We believe in a world where freedom is currency.

A world where opportunity flourishes when people trust one another and work together. A world where ambitions can be unlimited, and growth of any kind is supported, encouraged, and where the flames of passion are constantly fanned. Where no one is faulted for what they are not, but rather, celebrated for what they are.

We believe in a brand that promotes balance.

A brand that allows mothers to be moguls. Fathers to be available. Humans to exercise their universal right to live an actual life they're proud of. A brand where potential is not hinged on the number of hours you clock in, but rather the purpose and intensity with which you work when you do.

We believe in the goodness and righteousness of all people and all situations.

That the world is not meant to harden us, but rather crack us open so we can create more consciously, with hearts that are open to every perspective, because every perspective, every person, and every challenge is here to teach us or grow us. Every perspective, every person and every challenge is valuable.

Our "Why" is to build a company, a culture and a world where no one- no guest, no client, and no employee- is limited by anything other than the capacity of their own ability to dream and execute.

We believe that people are inherently better when they are allowed to be themselves. When they are heard and seen as they are, where they are. And by demonstrating authenticity in our own actions and thoughts, we encourage others to do the same; being impactful and influential in ways uniquely essential to each individual.

We believe that the world is a beautiful place, and Beckon allows us the opportunity to make it more beautiful by showing up, every day, as the best version of ourselves, submerging into the endless opportunities that intrinsically exist when there is no box to fit into, where there is freedom to chart one's own path, and when there is the balance to make choices that empower us as individuals, and as a team. We are Beckon. And we are here to change the world. Starting with our own.
