Independent Property Acquisition Consultant

onefinestay opens doors to the finest homes, villas and chalets in the most desirable destinations, delivering a one-of-a-kind service to guests and homeowners around the world. As we expand into new and emerging destinations, we rely on well-connected local representatives who know their market and its homeowners to build our supply of exceptional properties from the ground up.

The purpose of this role is to serve as onefinestay's local, on-the-ground representative in an assigned destination (such as Vail or Tuscany, or another market as agreed with onefinestay), identifying, approaching, and signing homeowners of high-quality properties to list their homes with onefinestay.

The Independent Property Acquisition Consultant will need strong local credibility, sales instincts, and self-sufficiency, given the independent and fully commission-based nature of the role. Key skills, experiences, and attributes include:

• Established Local Network:
  The candidate should have a genuine, established network of homeowners, property managers, real estate agents, or relevant local contacts within the assigned destination — built through community ties, prior business activity, or professional relationships.
• Sales & Relationship-Building
  
  Skills:
  
  A proven ability to prospect, build rapport, and close agreements is essential, as compensation is earned solely through signed contracts. Experience in real estate, luxury sales, hospitality, or a related relationship-driven field is highly valued.
• Self-Motivation & Independence:
  The candidate must be comfortable operating independently, managing their own schedule, prospecting activity, and pipeline without day-to-day supervision, while staying accountable for results.
• Local Credibility & Brand Representation:
  As the face of onefinestay in the destination, the Consultant must represent the brand's standards of quality, discretion, and professionalism accurately and consistently when engaging homeowners.
• Market & Product Knowledge: A working understanding of the luxury vacation rental or high-end real estate market — including what makes a property suitable for onefinestay — will help the Consultant identify and prioritise the right homeowners to approach.
• Local Language & Market Fluency:
  Fluency in the local language and familiarity with local customs, regulations, and property ownership norms in the assigned destination is important for building trust with prospective homeowners.
• Comfort with Independent Contractor Status:
  Given the contractor nature of the role, the Consultant is responsible for their own time, tools, travel, and any applicable local business registration or tax obligations.

• Build a Target Homeowner List:
  Identify homeowners of luxury properties within the assigned destination who could be a fit for onefinestay's portfolio.
• Activate Local Networks:
  Leverage existing local relationships and networks — property managers, agents, developers, and community contacts — to generate warm introductions to prospective homeowners.
• Local Presence & Outreach:
  Represent onefinestay at relevant local events, gatherings, or introductions where prospective homeowners or referral sources may be present.

• Communicate the onefinestay Offering:
  Introduce prospective homeowners to onefinestay's value proposition, service model, and the benefits of listing their home with onefinestay rather than alternatives.
  • Address homeowner questions on management terms, calendar control, revenue potential, and service standards, escalating to the Director of Business Development, New Markets where needed.
• Lead Homeowners to a Signed
