Real Estate Agent
Position:
Real Estate Agent — Luxury + STR Investment Specialist
Company:
Home Team Luxury Realty (HTLR), part of The Rise Collective
Role type:
Independent Contractor (1099) where HTLR is licensed (see ‘Locations’); Referral Partner Agent in other states
Reports to:
VP of Brokerage / Market Leadership
Company overview:
Home Team Luxury Realty is an STR-focused luxury brokerage supporting investors acquiring and selling short-term rental properties nationwide through a networked model of in-brokerage agents and referral partners. HTLR operates alongside other Rise Collective brands that support the STR investor journey (education, acquisition support, and related services).
Role summary:
The Real Estate Agent is responsible for delivering a high-trust, high-urgency client experience to STR investors. This role requires strong contract execution, STR-specific diligence awareness, and consultative guidance on market risk factors that impact short-term rental viability.
Why This Opportunity Is Different:
We provide consistent, high-quality investor leads through our national ecosystem. The agents within our ecosystem have produced $20M+ annually in their local market from company-generated investor leads alone. You are not building from scratch — you are plugging into a proven investor acquisition engine. This is not a traditional brokerage environment. We are building a specialized STR investment platform with high standards and high upside.
We’re building a
high-performing agent roster
in multiple territories to serve STR investor demand.
Locations:
We are actively recruiting agents to join our brokerage in the following states:
High Priority:
Poconos, Pennsylvania (PA)
Broken Bow, Oklahoma (OK)
Blue Ridge Mountains, Georgia (GA)
Sevierville Area, Tennessee (TN)
Greater West Palm Beach, Florida (FL)
Hocking Hills, Ohio (OH)
Indianapolis, Indiana (IN)
Lower Priority
Asheville, North Carolina (NC)
San Antonio, Texas (TX)
All other states:
We are onboarding
referral partner agents
in targeted STR markets. Agents who consistently close investor transactions may have the opportunity to transition into a leadership role if/when we launch a brokerage entity in their state.
You’ll thrive in this role if you:
Want to become the
go-to STR investor agent
in your market (not a generalist).
Know how to consult on
regulations, permitting, zoning/HOA risk, and investment performance
— and you can explain it clearly to buyers.
Move fast, follow a process, and keep deals tight from offer to close.
Want to plug into a brand ecosystem with investor demand and long-term growth upside.
Performance expectations:
This role is designed for agents who want to produce $10M–$20M+ annually with structured investor demand.
Speed-to-lead, consult completion rate, offer-to-close execution quality
Client satisfaction and repeat/referral outcomes
Compliance adherence and clean file management
Compensation:
Commission-based; structure varies by market and role (HTLR agent vs referral partner).
Key Responsibilities
Client advisory & conversion
Conduct buyer consultations and intake; clarify buy box, financing readiness, and STR intent
Provide consultative guidance around STR feasibility and market dynamics (without practicing law)
Transaction execution
Manage all stages: showings → offer strategy → negotiation → contract execution → contingency management → close
Coordinate with lenders, inspectors, title/attorneys, vendors, and internal teams as needed
Maintain on-time deadlines and accurate documentation
STR-specific diligence support
Identify common STR risk areas: HOA/CC&Rs, local STR rules, permitting considerations, zoning overlays, property constraints
Escalate legal/regulatory questions to the appropriate professional and document guidance provided
Process & reporting
Track pipeline and client status consistently (weekly updates, CRM/task discipline)
Maintain professional communication standards and responsiveness
Qualifications:
Required:
Active real estate license in assigned state/market
Strong communication, negotiation, and transaction management skills
High integrity and client-first professionalism
Preferred:
3–5+ years experience; consistent production; investor transactions strongly preferred
Proven knowledge of STR investing or a clear STR specialization plan
What HTLR Provides:
Consistent, investor-qualified lead flow
Structured intake + buy box framework
National brand positioning within STR space
Operational support and brokerage leadership
