Tracy , That is not a true statement about rentals. As a Travel Consultant we pickup units all the time and book our clients in them after verifying that the unit is up to date on fees and put in our guests name and I am not a Real Estate Dealer.

In order to broker rental deals, a person has to be a licensed real estate agent registered to do business at the location of the TS. Anyone can rent out what they personally own but not anyone can broker either sales or rentals of others' properties. Some potential renters are more comfortable dealing with brokers who do rentals full time rather than a potentially clueless owner who doesn't know what they are doing. Sometimes brokers can get better prices. If you advertise at a price point and can deal with the terms that the broker is offering it really shouldn't matter to you that they are turning around and making more off your unit. On the other hand if the broker is not a licensed then I would tread very carefully.
