Sell Your Vacation Home With a Realtor Who Knows Vacation Rentals
Get top dollar for your property with Mike Chen — a licensed Realtor & 5★ Superhost who understands the true value of your investment.
The “Dual Advantage”: Why Listing with Mike Chen is Different
Most agents only look at the bricks and mortar. Mike Chen sees the business potential. As a Licensed Realtor and experienced Vacation Rental Manager, Mike bridges the gap between real estate sales and investment strategy to maximize your sale price.
🏆 Licensed Realtor + Airbnb Superhost
Mike isn’t just selling a house; he’s selling a business opportunity. With his background as the founder of FunStay Florida, he understands the nuances of the short-term rental market that other agents miss. He speaks the language of investors, highlighting rental ROI, booking history, and management potential to justify a higher asking price.
💸 Earn While You Sell
Why lose income just because you’re listing? Unlike traditional realtors who may ask you to clear your calendar, Mike helps you keep your property in the rental pool. We coordinate showings around guests so you continue earning revenue right up until closing.
📊 Investment-Based Valuations
We don’t just price based on square footage. We use actual booking performance data like ADR (Average Daily Rate) and occupancy trends to showcase your home as a turnkey, cash-flowing asset. This data-driven approach attracts serious investors willing to pay a premium for a performing property.
🌐 Global Buyer Network
Your buyer might not be in Florida. Through his extensive network of FunStay clients and international investors from the UK, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and China, Mike connects your property with a global audience actively looking for Orlando, Kissimmee, Davenport, and Miami vacation homes.
Is This the Right Solution for You?
We specialize in helping vacation home owners in Orlando, Kissimmee, Davenport, and Miami who want to:
- Sell for top dollar by targeting investment-savvy buyers.
- Exit the vacation rental business without the stress of managing bookings during the sale.
- Upgrade or 1031 exchange into a new high-performing asset.
- Sell to another investor without cancelling future guest reservations.
The “Realtor + Rental Specialist” Advantage
Selling a short-term rental is different from selling a primary residence. You need an expert who can navigate the complexities of active bookings, property management handoffs, and investment analysis.
- We Highlight Income Potential: We use professional listing copy, high-quality photos, and video tours to emphasize the income potential of your property, ensuring it stands out to investors.
- Seamless Transitions: Already have a property manager? We coordinate directly with them (or handle it ourselves if you use FunStay) to ensure a smooth handoff of bookings to the new owner.
- Regulatory Guidance: From FIRPTA for foreign sellers to local tourist tax compliance, we guide you through the red tape so you never have to worry about a surprise at closing.

Michael delivered an exceptional experience to my wife and I when we were purchasing property in an environment that was unfamiliar to us.
He has deep understanding of local environmental and regulations.
He took personal ownership of some of our challenges going beyond the call of duty.
He cares a lot about his clients and going the extra mile to exceed their expectations.

Mike is everything you could want from an agent. An absolute expert in the local market…a creative tactician on making a deal and thinking through strategies…an investor friendly navigator on updates, rental income, location context, etc
And most important, he’s just a really good, likable, integral guy. In spending a few days with him on your property buying or selling journey, you’ll not only get a ton of value but make a friend in the business.
10/10 for Mike

Very happy we got to work with Mike! He educated us on all the local communities, good and bad. He was patient, always got an answer for us. During the sales process, he was very responsive, willing to negotiate our terms and was proactive thru the entire process. Post sale, he was a great resource and helped every time we asked; info, local contractors, property management companies, even helped move/dispose of furniture! If that’s not full service, I don’t know what is. We will use Mike in the future for our next purchase. My wife and I consider Mike a friend now. You will not go wrong working with Mike.

Answers to Your Top Questions
Can I sell my vacation rental while I still have guests and bookings?
Absolutely. This is our specialty. We coordinate with your guests to ensure showings are handled professionally and with minimal disruption. You continue earning income from your bookings while we market your home to potential buyers.
How is your valuation different from a standard realtor’s?
A typical realtor values your home based on recent sales of similar-sized properties. We go further by analyzing your property as a business. We factor in your rental income, occupancy rates, booking history, and guest reviews to determine its value as a cash-flowing asset, which often results in a higher and more accurate valuation.
I live out of state. How can you help me sell my Orlando property remotely?
We provide comprehensive remote support for out-of-state and international owners. Our team manages everything on the ground from staging and professional photography to coordinating inspections and handling the final closing. You can sell with confidence, knowing every detail is being managed by an expert.
What makes you different from a listing agent at a large vacation rental management company?
Unlike agents at large management companies who may have a vested interest in keeping your property in their rental pool, our primary goal is to sell your home for the highest possible price. Our dual expertise ensures we are focused on maximizing your profit from the sale, not on future management fees.
What areas do you serve?
We focus specifically on the vacation rental corridors, including Orlando, Kissimmee, Davenport, and Miami.
