About Natalie
Born with a restless curiosity and a gift for making people feel at home, Natalie Victoria Rucshner has spent her career doing exactly that — across three continents, in hotels, classrooms, and now the neighborhoods of Greater Phoenix.
She opened hotels from scratch, managed hundreds of apartments in Dublin, taught children in India, and eventually came home to Arizona to build something of her own. Today she's a licensed Realtor, an Airbnb Superhost, and the owner of NVS Housing LLC — a business her mother started 17 years before she took it over.

Years in Hospitality
Genuine
No scripts, no pressure. Natalie shows up as herself — warm, direct, and genuinely invested in your outcome.
Resourceful
From opening hotels in Montana to managing Airbnbs in Arizona, she figures it out. Whatever the challenge, she finds the path.
Experienced
Three continents. Two industries. One throughline: making people feel taken care of.
The Journey
2004–2008 · Puyallup, WA
The Early Years
Started working young — hostessing, team leading, pharmacy work. Built a foundation of customer service and work ethic that would carry through everything that came after.
2008–2012 · Kent, WA
Hotel Roots
Joined the hospitality industry as Front Desk Manager at Days Inn. Fell in love with the rhythm of hotels — the guests, the pace, the puzzle of operations. This is where it all started.
2011 · Rishikesh, India
Teaching in India
Volunteered as an English teacher for a class of 30 children in Rishikesh. Taught English, Math, and Art — participated in after-school activities and helped in the school kitchens. A humbling and life-changing two months.
2012–2015 · Medford, OR & Sidney, MT
General Manager — IHG
Stepped into General Manager roles at two consecutive Candlewood Suites properties. Opened a brand new 114-room hotel in Sidney, Montana from the ground up — contractors, brand standards, staff, grand opening. One of the hardest and most formative experiences of her life.
2015 · Brisbane, Australia
Going Global
Packed up and moved to Australia. Took a Duty Manager role in Brisbane, managing two towers and hundreds of daily check-ins. The first step in what became a years-long adventure living and working abroad.
2017–2019 · Dublin, Ireland
Dublin & a Degree
Settled in Ireland and earned a First Class Honours B.A. in International Business from the American College Dublin — graduating with a 3.75 GPA and serving as Student Union President. Also managed 250+ apartments as Senior Associate at City Break Apartments, handling everything from guest check-ins to technology implementation.
2019 · Surprise, Arizona
Coming Home
Returned to the United States and put down roots in Surprise, Arizona. Earned her Arizona Real Estate license and began building a client base across Greater Phoenix — bringing the hospitality mindset to every transaction.
2021–Present · Surprise, Arizona
NVS Housing LLC
Took over and grew the family business — NVS Housing LLC, originally built by her mother Vicki Rucshner over 17 years ago. Expanded it into two fully themed five-bedroom Airbnb properties and a high-volume Spring Training housing operation serving MLB organizations.
Outside of Work
When she's not closing deals or hosting guests, you'll find Natalie at a festival, out on the water, in the kitchen, or deep in an arts and crafts project. She's the kind of person who brings homemade food to things and remembers your name.
