We’re Extenteam, a dynamic company revolutionizing the short term vacation rental industry. Our proven business model has generated consistent revenue, and we are now expanding from a professional services model to a scalable tech-based subscription-first model.

Extenteam is on a mission to streamline and support vacation rental businesses by providing top-notch solutions, including guest communication and property management support.

Data-Driven Decision-Making: Prioritizing data and results over emotions when making objective, professional decisions. 
Emphasis on Details: Details matter at every level. Leaders are expected to have a deep understanding of the specifics and adopt a hands-on management style.

Our Leadership Philosophy

Our company embraces a management style inspired by the ideals of "founder mode," as championed by Airbnb’s Brian Chesky. This means a hands-on, visionary approach to leadership, with a relentless focus on innovation, product excellence, and customer-centric decision-making. We encourage proactive problem-solving, direct involvement in key initiatives, and a collaborative, high-performance culture.

What This Role Is About:

We are hiring one Guest Service & Listings Agent. Guest communication is the core of this role — fast, professional, and consistent across every shift. When guest activity allows, you will also support listing management and assist with leasing tasks as needed.

Your Main Responsibilities:

Guest Messaging

This is the primary focus of every shift. Guest communication always takes priority over everything else.

  • Respond to all guest messages within 5 minutes (goal: under 1 minute for simple responses), even when a full resolution is not yet available
  • Monitor all guest communication channels including Hostaway, Furnished Finder, email, texts, and phone calls
  • Deliver clear, professional, and brand-aligned communication in every interaction
  • Take immediate action on guest issues by creating and assigning Breezeway tasks
  • Coordinate with internal team members to resolve all guest needs quickly and completely
  • Proactively schedule mid-stay cleans and collect all associated fees
  • Request, track, and confirm 100% of guest payments including mid-stay cleaning, pet fees, and calendar hold fees, escalating when needed
  • Accurately manage guest details and special requests, including parking permits and other needs
  • Monitor and respond to guest reviews, and create follow-up tasks for the operations team to address feedback
  • Actively request positive reviews and take steps to prevent negative reviews when possible
  • Reference and continuously update Notion property intel pages to improve response accuracy and efficiency
  • Update Asana to keep property statuses, availability trackers, and reservation checklists current
  • Escalate urgent or high-risk issues to the Operations Manager immediately

Listing Management

When guest activity is lower, you will keep our listings accurate, optimized, and performing well across all platforms.

  • Maintain and update existing listings including descriptions, photos, amenities, and pricing
  • Adjust pricing and availability to maximize occupancy and revenue
  • Optimize listings for visibility through titles, descriptions, keywords, and platform-specific features
  • Ensure listings are published and active across all required platforms, including distribution channels and insurance portals
  • Monitor listing quality and flag any issues that could impact bookings or guest experience
  • Adjust automated messages and message templates as needed

Leasing Support

You will assist the Leasing Manager with mid-term rental tasks as they come up. This is not a daily function but an important part of keeping operations running smoothly.

  • Send leases, addendums, and process reservation extensions
  • Create direct reservations and confirm all required payments are complete
  • Generate and manage lock codes for guests and vendors once requirements are met
  • Coordinate background checks and assist with approvals as directed
  • Support calendar blocking and unblocking based on move-out timelines and property readiness


What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience in hospitality, property management, or customer service, with demonstrated ability to handle guest communication in real time
  • Familiarity with digital tools used in property operations, including Breezeway, Asana, Notion, Hostaway or similar PMS, and Microsoft Office Suite
  • Strong written communication and attention to detail
  • Ability to stay responsive and focused during all shifts, including lower-activity periods
  • Ability to take ownership, follow through, and manage multiple tasks at once
  • Valid driver's license, clean driving record, and reliable transportation

Performance Expectations

This role is critical to our operation. Guests are our top priority, and the speed and quality of communication directly impact our reviews, revenue, and brand.

  • All guest messages responded to within 5 minutes, with a goal of under 1 minute for simple responses
  • 5-star communication experience maintained across all guest interactions
  • 100% of guest fees requested, tracked, and confirmed or escalated
  • 100% accuracy in guest details, including parking permits and required information
  • No missed messages, tasks, or incomplete follow-ups

  • i5 11th Gen or higher
  • Windows 11 / MacOS Catalina or higher
  • Minimum of 8 GB RAM
  • Private and quiet dedicated home office area (no roosters, dogs, children's noises in the background)
  • Back-ups in case of power or internet provider interruptions
  • Good headset and webcam (preferably noise-canceling headset)

Why You’ll Love Working with Us: 

  • Competitive Salary — We offer a competitive salary that reflects the candidate’s experience, skills, and responsibilities.
  • Remote Work — This role is 100% remote, allowing flexibility and eliminating daily commute.
  • Paid Time Off — Standard leave entitlements (vacation, sick leave, vacation leave) for rest and well-being.
