STR Agents, Explained —
and How to Get One Free

What makes an STR agent different from a regular realtor?

A traditional agent optimizes for comps, commutes, and school districts. An STR agent optimizes for ADR, occupancy, and RevPAR — the numbers that decide whether an Airbnb actually makes money. They know which neighborhoods permit short-term rentals, which HOAs quietly ban them, and what the local regulations will look like after the next city-council vote.

Revenue underwritingEvaluates every property on projected nightly income and seasonality — not just purchase comps.
Regulation fluencyKnows the permit caps, zones, and license types in their market, so you never buy a property that can't legally operate.
Investor deal flowSees the STR-viable listings early — including the ones never marketed as "Airbnb-ready."
Operator networkBrings the lenders (DSCR), inspectors, insurers, and cleaners who work with investors daily.

How STR HUB matching works

We keep one specialized agent per market — vetted for real STR transaction experience and tracked on every referral for speed and results. Tell us what you're looking to do (buy, sell, or invest) and where; we connect you directly with your market's agent. No lead-selling, no five-agents-calling-you: one expert, accountable to us for performance.

It's free because agents pay us a negotiated referral fee only when your deal closes — you pay exactly what you'd pay any agent, but you get the specialist.

What is an STR agent?

A licensed real estate agent specializing in short-term rental investment properties — Airbnb and VRBO — who evaluates deals on rental revenue, local STR law, and investor returns.

Does it cost anything to be matched?

No. Matching is free for buyers and sellers. Agents pay a negotiated referral fee at closing — never you.

What markets do you cover?

Active agents across 20+ states including Texas, Florida, Arizona, Georgia, and Hawaii — and we're adding founding agents in new markets every month.

Can you help me sell an STR?

Yes — STR agents market income properties to investor buyers with the revenue story front and center, which is how STRs command their premium.
