For the first time, investors looking at short-term rental, vacation-home, and second-home markets across the country can start with one trusted source instead of cold-searching for a credible expert in each city. Jack Costigan has launched a new national division at Compass dedicated specifically to short-term rental and investment real estate.
The division aims to simplify a fragmented process. Until now, investors often had to rely on online listings, local referrals, or blind outreach to agents in unfamiliar markets. Costigan's team brings together vetted professionals who understand local regulations, tourism trends, and property performance metrics. This allows buyers to compare markets like Nashville, Palm Springs, or the Smoky Mountains without starting from scratch in each location.
Costigan says the goal is to provide clarity in a sector that has grown rapidly but remains difficult to navigate. With shifting local laws and changing traveler demand, having a single point of contact who coordinates across markets can save time and reduce risk. The division will also offer guidance on financing, property management, and long-term strategy.
For serious investors, this move signals a shift toward more professional, centralized support in the vacation rental space. Instead of piecing together advice from multiple sources, they can now work with a team that understands the full picture from day one.
