[Q=kyliec] Although exchange is currently just a small part of what we do on RedWeek.com, we do offer a method for owners to exchange direct. Currently, this involves [L=http://www.redweek.com/browse?post=1]posting what you have and what you are looking for[/L], and letting interested exchangers find you to arrange the trade. We do not currently have a "Best Practices" suggested guideline for completing the direct exchange process posted on RedWeek.com, but we would like to. Anyone who's completed a direct exchange, can you share your process? Thanks, Kylie[/Q] Direct exchanges can be handled similar to a rental. Timesharing Today Magazine sells a rental (and also a sale) kit at a very reasonable price. Although they do not have a separate kit for direct exchanges, most of the info in the rental kit could be "adapted" for an exchange transaction. The rental lease form is very detailed and spells out clearly the terms and conditions of the rental, including the need for the renter to provide a valid credit card upon check-in, and to be financially responsible for any damage done while he/she and guests are occupying the unit. The Kits include step-by-step instructions for preparing all documents needed in the transaction. The Rental Document Kit contains: Three complete sets of fill-in-the-blanks lease forms with worksheets, Detailed instructions, and Model letters to the resort, etc.. The cost by mail is $10. for 3 complete sets. AND THERE IS A 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. The price is even lower (and instantly available) if you download it from their web site: https://tstoday.com/shop/docKits.aspx I have used these forms numerous times through the years and have never had any problems. P.S. While at the web site, if you are not already a subscriber to Timesharing Today Magazine, if you fill out the form on the home page, you will receive a free copy. I have been a subscriber for over 10 years and have learned a lot about timesharing from their very informative articles.
