The Short Term Shop
The Short Term Shop features the best real estate search for homes, condos, land and foreclosure properties in the most profitable vacation rental markets. Avery is the best! She made our buying experience as seamless as it could be. We needed someone who knew the area well, and had lots of relationships to help us get set-up quickly.

Felt lucky to have Avery - she's super-responsive and extremely helpful. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Avery is a fantastic agent. I live in out of state, and Avery was my eyes, ears, and boots on the ground looking at several properties. She knows her stuff immensely in the area. She goes way beyond the extra mile, is very personable and engaging.

So you have decided to sell your property. Before anything else, it is a good idea to sit down and clarify your motivations and draw up a basic time frame for the selling process. Why do you want to sell your property? Do you intend to simply find a larger property, or do you plan on moving to another neighborhood, school district, city or state?

The Short Term Shop is THE BROKERAGE for STR Investing. Their agents are the best. I personally have worked with Jonathan Lazzarino in Gulf Shores, AL. Jonathan is the BEST REALTOR I have ever had represent me! I really mean that, here's why: He has helped my wife and I on multiple transactions in Alabama and he is hands down the most honest, trustworthy, hardworking dudes I've ever met in this business. He has a knack for making you feel like you are his only client, even though he has a ton of transactions going on. He is a ROCKSTAR. He will fight for you. He will get the deal closed for you

I have been working with Avery and Luke for years but this is my first purchase. While I thought I had learned so much through osmosis, it was amazing to find out how much there is to know and really feel like The Short Term Shop, the team and their programs are going to support me in my STR business.
These guys are the best in class.

It's unreal how much time and effort that Luke and Avery put into educating their clients. They go way beyond adding value to working with The Short Term Shop. I don't know if other firms/brokerages/gurus offer this type of education for a fee and I'll never know because it is all included when you sign with STS. For months I researched the best investment for my money to generate cash flow. I looked at every avenue: stocks, LTRs, BRRRR, pizza vending machines (lol for real), among several others. One day I stumble upon a reference to STS. Just a quick blurb in a BP post. Within a week I was convinced

Luke & Avery do an amazing job detailing what it takes to be a successful short term host. Both are easy to talk to and give straight answers. I can't wait to go live with our first STR.

Worked with Zeke to land a deal in the Smokies and he was great. Professional and patient. The classes with Luke and continued support after closing makes this an unbeatable offer for any short term rental investor.

The Short Term Shop is great to work with. I'm under contract and cleared contingencies and had our STS University Management Monday call with Luke and Avery. They cover everything in a fun and super detailed way including providing materials that we can access at any time.
Thank you Luke and Avery for the access and education to short term rentals, an otherwise daunting subject. If only there were something like this for traditional BRRRR.

We are so grateful to have come across the Short Term Shop with Avery and Luke Carl. They have created an amazing power house team to help others begin investing in short term real estate. They make sure they team you up with a realtor knowledgable in the short term markets to help you succeed. Then, Luke hosts different meetings to help you get started and set up the right way. Thank you so much Avery and Luke you are very appreciated.

The Short Term Shop has been amazing from start to finish. I couldn't be happier with responsiveness and professionalism from everyone involved. The original consultation was a great ice breaker and then the follow up with "Management Monday" really wrapped up the services provided. I would recommend The Short Term Shop to anyone looking to get started in vacation rental investments.

Fantastic resource for str buyers who are looking to self manage. Fantastic agents. The private FB group can answer any question you may have and the zoom learning sessions get you ready to launch. The short YouTube videos are great too! We’ve purchased and have been successfully up and running since July! 🎉

Avery and Luc as well as our realtor Gennifer from the STR shop have been a blessing to us. They helped us move from being talk about it want to be investors in the STR market to owners of our first STR cabin in Pigeon Forge. They are extremely busy, but will take the time to help you work through some of your worries about getting into the market. They have been available after the sale as well, willing to answer questions and give hard feedback on those questions. Hey, don't ask the question if you don't want an honest answer. Looking forward to working with them again within this next year to
