Listing your units! (by Phil L.):
Kathy, I'm not comparing Redweek or any other sites like Redweek to a upfront company. They charge just like a newspaper would giving you a place to list your timeshare for sale or rent! Your paying a listing fee and writing your ad yourself and that is it for your fee with no promises except it will be listed. Also no guarantee of how many people will ever see your ad because of no counter.
What I do not understand are owners who check the resort on these sites and see maybe 25 other listings and still want to list thinking they will sell their unit!
If a owner list on a site then they better be lower in price than all others listed. Remember these other listings are not selling at those prices but just sitting there.
I also would never pay any of these sites more than six months at a time for my listings. If you have not sold or had hits in six months your wasting your money and its time to move on!
This is where the counter that has been asked for and passed over by Redweek could help owners.
It would be nice to know a six month ad at least is being read and how many or how few have seen it.
A counter would tell some Redweek doesn't work for them and tell others it does work no matter the results.
I doubt Redweek would do it because they would not want to stop this little cash flow they have going.
