Grand Welcome Austin, a Brown & Buchanan Ventures-owned franchise, is a veteran-owned and operated vacation rental management company.
We care about owner outcomes, guest experience, and operational follow-through.
We are seeking a results-driven and strategic Business Development Representative (BDR) to drive the growth of our vacation rental management portfolio in Austin, TX by signing high-quality homeowners at competitive fees. In this role, you’ll manage the full sales cycle — from market research and lead generation to discovery, proposal, and close — ensuring each new partnership aligns with company goals and performance standards. Your responsibilities include building and maintaining a strong sales pipeline, conducting in-depth discovery conversations, presenting data-backed revenue projections, and negotiating Property Management Agreements (PMAs) with confidence. You’ll also collaborate closely with Onboarding and Field Operations to ensure a smooth handoff and maintain clear communication throughout the owner journey.
If you like clear targets, tight systems, and winning as a team, you'll fit right in.

Navigate through Discovery, Economics, & Closing
- Diagnose owner goals (income, usage, risk tolerance), timeline, stakeholders.
- Present credible revenue projections (ADR/Occ/RevPAR) with a clear fee story.
- Remove friction—address timing, control, and trust with data and next steps.
- Drive proposals to e-signature—no orphaned opportunities.
Handoff and Feedback
- Set clean expectations with Onboarding & Field Ops (launch dates, scope, success criteria).
- Report weekly: pipeline health, forecast, win/loss themes, market intel; update the playbook.
