Why The Short Term Shop Is the Best Short Term Rental Realtor Team
So what sets us apart? Here’s why investors trust us to guide them:
1. We Are Investors Ourselves
We don’t just talk the talk. Every agent on our team owns and operates their own short term rentals. We understand the pain points, the challenges, and the opportunities firsthand. That insider knowledge is priceless for new investors.
2. We’re the #1 STR Brokerage in the Country
With billions in STR transactions under our belt, we’ve consistently ranked as a Top 20 real estate team in the U.S. by The Wall Street Journal/RealTrends and the #1 team worldwide at eXp Realty three times. Simply put, no one else has the track record we do.
3. We Provide Free Education & Training
When you buy through us, you don’t just get a realtor — you get a mentor. Our clients gain access to The Short Term Shop Plus, where we host live weekly Q&As, in-depth training sessions, and a private investor community. We also give you step-by-step systems to self-manage your property, saving thousands in management fees.

4. We Cover All Major STR Markets
From the Smoky Mountains to the Emerald Coast to Broken Bow, Blue Ridge, Branson, Gulf Shores, and beyond — we’re in every major short term rental market that matters. That’s why we can proudly say we have over 10 hours of podcasts dedicated to every market we serve. You can binge them all here: The Short Term Show Podcast.
Where to Learn More: Our Market-Specific Podcast Library
Another reason we’ve earned the title of the best short term rental realtor is the depth of education we provide completely free of charge. Most real estate agents stop at handing you a closing folder. We hand you a blueprint.
In addition to our books, training, and STS Plus community, we’ve produced over 10 hours of in-depth podcasts on every single market we serve. That means if you’re considering buying in:
The Smoky Mountains – you can binge a full 10+ hours on market trends, top-performing cabins, seasonality, and investor success stories.
The Emerald Coast – dive into 10+ hours covering Destin, 30A, Santa Rosa Beach, and Panama City Beach.
Broken Bow, Oklahoma – hear 10+ hours of strategy on why Hochatown is booming and how to pick the right cabin.
Blue Ridge & North Georgia Mountains – spend 10+ hours learning about Ellijay, Cherry Log, and Morganton cabins.
Gulf Shores & Orange Beach – access 10+ hours of insights on beachfront investments and revenue management.
Each market has its own quirks, regulations, and success factors. By giving you 10+ hours of free content per market, we make sure you’re entering the game with more knowledge than 99% of other buyers. No other realtor offers that level of education-first support.

FAQs About Finding the Best Short Term Rental Realtor
Q: Why can’t I just use my cousin who’s a realtor?
Because they don’t know STRs. Unless they are also investors in STR-heavy markets, they won’t be able to guide you through regulations, income analysis, or management.
Q: What exactly does The Short Term Shop teach after I buy a property?
We train you on self-management systems using Airbnb, VRBO, smart locks, messaging tools, cleaners, and vendors — so you never feel lost.
Q: Do I need to hire a property manager if I work with The Short Term Shop?
No! In fact, our mission is to teach you how to self-manage and keep 20–30% more income. That’s why our clients rave about us being the best short term rental realtors — we don’t just sell, we coach.
Q: Can The Short Term Shop help me if I already own a property?
Yes. Many investors join STS Plus to access our education and community even if they didn’t buy through us originally.
