For Realtors and Mortgage Brokers

Let's help our STR customers together.

While my primary customer is the home buyer, I partner with realtors and mortgage brokers at no cost to help buyers evaluate the STR business case for a property. The buying decision stays with them.

  • No referral fee, in either direction. I don't pay for introductions and I don't take a piece of your close. Buyers pay me directly, for work they choose.
  • I don't sell property or write loans. Not licensed for either. Nothing in my model competes with yours, before or after the sale.
  • Works before or after they're under contract. Screen a listing for your pipeline, or start from a property your buyer already has in mind.
  • Your buyer gets more than a number. A Property Screen ($250) returns an AirDNA-supported revenue range with comparable properties, an initial permit and regulatory screen, property-level red flags and local management availability. An Acquisition + Ops Plan ($750) adds the complete acquisition and ops plan, so they stop asking you to vouch for figures you can't verify. See an example Acquisition + Ops Plan →
  • Two different jobs. Your buyer's realtor helps them buy the house correctly. I assess the STR business case and explain my findings. The decision to buy stays with them.

Why Bring Me In

Because you shouldn't have to become an STR expert too.

That evaluation goes beyond a financial model: revenue and comparables, regulations and permit requirements, operating costs and the vetting of realistic property-management options. It's not something your transaction workflow is built to cover, and it doesn't need to be.

I serve the same buyer you do, but from a different seat. You guide the property search and transaction. I evaluate the STR business case. I don't broker property, write loans, accept referral fees or take a cut of your commission.

I'm Matt Redmon, an active Washington owner-operator. I handle the STR-specific work, including permit-path research, revenue analysis and property-manager evaluation, so it comes off your plate instead of being added to it.

  • Operator I own and run a permitted STR on the Washington coast and am actively looking to scale
  • Independent Flat rates, no revenue share or broker referral fees. Paid the same whether the buyer decides to move forward, dig deeper or walk away
  • Product/Marketing Two decades of product development, product marketing and brand strategy across mass and micro markets. I handle all sales and marketing for The Resthouse
  • Deals I've overseen product and brand strategy at multimillion-dollar brands and have M&A experience
