Top 50 Women Leaders of Arizona | HomeSlice Stays

Named to The Top 50 Women Leaders of Arizona

I'm Ellie Paget, founder and CEO of HomeSlice Stays. In 2022, I was honored to be named one of The Top 50 Women Leaders of Arizona by The Women We Admire, recognition I don't take lightly, because it reflects what the team has built, not just me.

The Recognition

The Top 50 Women Leaders of Arizona list celebrates women making a measurable mark on the state's business landscape. Being included alongside that group was a meaningful marker for a company I started in February 2019 and grew through organic referral, not paid acquisition, into a recognized name in luxury short-term rental management. It was also a moment to reflect on how far the model had come, and how clearly owners and developers were responding to it.

The Background Behind It

The recognition was grounded in a long road. I have sixteen years in hospitality. Before HomeSlice, I was Director of Operations at Manorshare, and before that a Sous Chef at Brasserie Beck under Robert Wiedmaier, after starting my career cooking onboard a National Geographic cruise ship in Alaska. That fine-dining foundation, the obsession with the guest's first impression and the details they never consciously notice, is the entire reason HomeSlice operates the way it does.

I also hold real estate licensure earned through the Greater Capital Area Association of REALTORS®, and a pilot's license earned here in Arizona. Those aren't unrelated footnotes. They reflect how I approach this business: disciplined, credentialed, and willing to put in the years of work before the recognition ever comes.

Why I Share This

I include this not as current news, it's a 2022 honor, but because third-party recognition matters when you're deciding who to trust with a significant asset. An owner handing over a luxury property isn't buying a sales pitch; they're trusting judgment and a track record. Being recognized among Arizona's women leaders is part of that record, alongside the steadiness this company has shown through every condition since 2019.

That track record is the real point of what we do, for the guests who stay with us and the owners who trust us with their homes. If you own a luxury property in Scottsdale or Paradise Valley and want it managed by someone with genuine roots and a proven approach here, I'd genuinely like to talk with you. Contact me today.
