Here are few designers that specialize in STR and creating a space for your guest avatar....
These companies will help to bring attention to your property through design and have proven to raise the annual revenue of a STR. Hope this helps!

All depends on location, what the STR looks like, the amenities offered, and the management of the property. So, expect a variety of answers on this question.

I also would throw in to be very sure this is an area you want to purchase in, and it's an area you can use multiple strategies. For the last 6+ months I've been hearing about the lack of tourists in the Orlando/Kissimmee area and hosts struggling to get decent bookings.

Quote from @Michael Gangemi:
I found a brand new townhome in Kissimmee with luxury finishes, resort style amenities, the whole nine. The price is $435K and I was thinking of doing 20% down. This townhome is a 5 bed/ 4 bath with 2020 sqft so it's got more than enough room for bigger families while also being versatile to smaller families who may want to use the extra rooms for storing clothes and suitcases. With a $5,000 rebate back at closing I'm looking to buy down the rate by a point. AirDNA gave me the following estimates: $300/night | 65% Occupancy |$71,100 Revenue with this data I feel comfortable making a move on this one. Let me know your thoughts

Your PM should be doing marketing, unless you contracted them for only cleaning and maintenance services. I would be making some phone calls to them and see why they aren't doing marketing.
Market My STR is a great option, but I believe they would be hard to use unless your self-managing.

I don't know of an agent, but I think Chris Price at Your Signature Stays knows of one. Plus, he can give you all the ins and outs of STR in the Seattle area. I can't find his profile on Biggerpockets but you should be able to contact him through his site.

I believe Relay Bank Is your answer. Although check on the customizing amounts for transferring funds. I think they can do that, but I don't remember for sure.
