A Little About Us
\n
Dorothy and Brett started Hotspot Rentals in 2012 with the belief that they could build a different kind of real estate company - one focused on hiring, training and developing great full-time people who share a work hard/play hard mentality, while creating an environment where your income matches your effort.
\n
\n
Today, Hotspot is a team of about 40 people who are part of our “work family.” We invest heavily in training, support, personal and professional growth and keeping things fun along the way.
\n
\n
We believe prioritizing our team has a trickle-down effect on our customers and property partners: happy employees make for happy customers! That approach has helped us maintain very low employee turnover and earn a 5.0-star Google rating from more than 3,900 reviews - the most in our industry.

Who Makes a Good Fit for Hotspot
\n
Sales-driven self-starters who genuinely enjoy working with people tend to thrive here. Our agents work from home, and our most successful hires have “hustle” while still valuing work-life balance.
\n
\n
We look for people who are self-aware, coachable, great at problem-solving and willing to work hard to invest in their own success. We aren’t a big corporation, so every person we hire has a direct impact on our culture and reputation.
\n
\n
This is a full-time, 100% commission-based role.
