Ditto what Ken said.
Having to be a member to get email addresses is also a safety net for Redweek's clients (renters/sellers) against scammers and spammers. SERIOUS buyers and renters will gladly pay the fee to get the information they seek (confidential contact information).
There are many other ad sites on the internet that plainly post email addresses and those ad owners are then besieged with scammers, spammers, trolls and phishers.
