Department: Sales Location: Remote - US/Canada Compensation: $150,000 - $300,000 / year Description 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 PriorityAsheville, 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.
