Support for Real Estate Agents Working With STR Buyers and Sellers
At STR Management, our job is to make you look good in front of your clients. We help you identify strong short-term rental opportunities, avoid licensing surprises, and add value to listings that need a new angle. We are here to support your business, not sell to your clients.
Why Smart Agents Partner With Us
- Austin vacation rental managers are not created equal. Partner with a company recognized among the top performers in the United States.
- We outperform the competition. As a whole we have outperformed other City of Austin professional vacation rental managers by more than 10% in revenue per available room (RevPAR) this year and by as much as 23% at times.
Your clients trust you to connect them with the best. We take that responsibility seriously and back it up with performance.
Help Your Buyers Identify Great STR Opportunities
- Find existing STR style listings in MLS. Use our step-by-step guide to uncover active and STR-friendly listings: How to search MLS for existing short term rentals.
- Validate that a property is a good STR candidate. Use a la carte tools such as an STR License Feasibility Check, Estimated Revenue Report, and STR Consultation to set clear expectations before an offer is written.
Prevent STR Licensing Problems For Buyers And Sellers
- Before your buyer commits. Confirm what is actually possible under current City of Austin rules so your client is not relying on guesswork.
- During the licensing process. We can prepare and submit the application correctly and help resolve issues that come up with the City of Austin.
- At resale. We review the existing license, plan for a smooth transition to the new owner, and flag potential problems before they reach the closing table.
Many of these services can be purchased directly online in our store, making it easy for you to keep clients informed and stay in the loop.
Get Paid For Referrals And Get Free Advertising
- Paid referral program. We offer a paid referral for licensed real estate agents when a referred owner signs up for full management services. Reach out for current details and payout structure.
- Your information in the house manual. We add the referring agent’s name and contact information to the property’s digital house manual, putting you in front of tens of thousands of Austin visitors each year.
- We send real estate back to you. If an owner or guest asks us about buying or selling, we refer those real estate needs back to the referring agent whenever possible.
No Long Term Sales Restrictions
Our management agreements support your client’s long-term plans. If your client decides to sell:
- The property can be listed and sold at any time as long as existing reservations are honored.
- We are happy to work with the new buyer if they want to keep management in place.
- If the buyer has other plans, we step out cleanly so there is no friction in the transaction.
This keeps your clients flexible and keeps you at the center of their long-term real estate strategy.
Alternatives When An STR Does Not Make Sense Right Now
- We also manage monthly rentals (MTR). Medium-term rentals can be a strong option for certain locations, building types, or when STR regulations are not favorable.
- We manage classic long-term rentals (LTR) as well. If a traditional lease is the best fit for the owner’s goals, we can handle that and revisit STR or MTR in the future when conditions change.
- Support for stale listings. If a listing is sitting longer than expected, we can present realistic STR, MTR, or LTR options so you are always the advisor with a plan—not just a price reduction.
Protect Your Relationships And Offer More Options
- Identify and evaluate STR opportunities for buyers.
- Ensure your clients avoid STR license problems during purchase or sale.
- Get paid for referrals and gain free advertising in front of thousands of visitors.
- Offer creative alternatives for stale or challenging listings.
