Privately Managed Transaction

The following steps have been developed to help serve as an aid in rental negotiations between RedWeek.com members, and are not comprehensive, fail-proof guidelines. The party you deal with may wish to follow another method of completing a private transaction, which may work just as well.

1. The two members come to an agreement on the rental terms.
2. The owner should sign and provide the renter with a timeshare rental agreement.
3. The renter should return the rental agreement to the owner, along with a deposit (~50%) to reserve the unit.
4. The owner should notify their resort of the transfer, provide all relevant contact information for the renter, and request that a confirmation and check-in instructions be sent directly to the renter.
5. Upon receiving confirmation from the resort, the renter should send the remainder of the rental money to the owner.
6. The renter should call the resort 15 to 30 days prior to their vacation date to double-check their reservations, and clarify check-in date and instructions.
