Description


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.

Compensation

Commission-based; structure varies by market and role (HTLR agent vs referral partner). Will discuss on interview

  • Coordinate with lenders, inspectors, title/attorneys, vendors, and internal teams as needed

  • Identify common STR risk areas: HOA/CC&Rs, local STR rules, permitting considerations, zoning overlays, property constraints

  • High integrity and client-first professionalism
Preferred

About this role

Home Team Luxury Realty is building a specialized short-term rental investment brokerage, and this Columbus role puts you in front of a steady stream of investor-qualified leads rather than requiring you to prospect from scratch. You'd work as a full-time agent within their established ecosystem, handling the full transaction cycle for STR buyers—from initial consultation through close—while providing market-specific guidance on zoning, permitting, HOA restrictions, and investment viability. The role demands both transaction discipline and consultative skill; you're not just processing deals but helping investors understand the regulatory and operational landscape that determines whether a property actually works as an STR.

This opportunity suits agents with 3+ years of experience and a genuine interest in specializing in investor transactions rather than remaining a generalist. You'll need an active Ohio license, strong negotiation and communication skills, and ideally some background in STR investing or a clear plan to develop that expertise. The compensation is commission-based and varies by market structure, with top performers in the network generating $10M–$20M+ annually from company-provided leads alone.

The appeal here is plugging into an existing investor acquisition engine and brand rather than building your own pipeline. As you prove consistent production, there's a path toward market leadership if the company expands its brokerage presence in your state. This is not a traditional brokerage environment—it's a specialized platform with high standards and structured growth expectations.
