About this role
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:
-
Broken Bow, Oklahoma (OK)
-
Indianapolis, Indiana (IN)
-
Columbus, Ohio (OH)
-
Poconos, Pennsylvania (PA)
-
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.
