STR Investor, Former Orlando Market Lead & Smoky Mountain Realtor

Gatlinburg • Pigeon Forge • Sevierville

Wayde Hall is a short term rental realtor, full-time investor, and outdoor enthusiast who brings hands-on investing experience and high-level real estate expertise to every client interaction.

He was the founding agent for The Short Term Shop in Orlando, where he quickly gained recognition as one of Central Florida’s top agents — earning a spot on the 35 Under 35 list and being named one of the most influential realtors under 35 in the region.

In 2024, Wayde relocated to the Smoky Mountains, where he now helps buyers invest in high-performing Airbnb cabins and vacation rental properties across Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville. He brings a strategic, investor-first mindset and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in competitive short term rental markets.

Wayde’s personal investing experience includes:

• Short term rentals (STRs)
  
  
• Long term rentals (LTRs)
  
  
• Fix-and-flips
  
  
• House hacking
  
  
• Sandwich lease options
  
  

He currently owns two short term rentals — one in Orlando and one in Blue Ridge, Georgia — and is passionate about helping others find financial freedom through real estate.

To date, Wayde has helped over 100 families invest in short term rentals, with a total of more than $70 million in closed transaction volume.

Outside of real estate, Wayde is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys fishing, whitewater rafting, and scuba diving — and he’s still a proud Disney fan and season pass holder.
