Hi again Marty

I heard back from one of the renters I contacted but feel a little uneasy about the way in which this gets handled. Here is a copy of the mail I received (I am taking out the personal parts of the email)

Please consider this Email verification that you have reserved _________________ pending my receipt of your check for ____________. Once the check clears I will mail you the reservation confirmation that shows that the maintaince fee's have been paid and will notify ________that you will be the occupants for week #10. Have a great week!

It is signed by the renter with address included.

I just dont feel right blindly mailing this person a check.

Hi Phyllis,

This may turn out just fine but it is scary to blindly mail a check. We always highly suggest that a Vacation Rental Escrow Company be used for the transaction. This protects you and the owner. You can find more information at http://www.redweek.com/resources/rental_process/escrow/. If a private transaction is done then please check out the different types of payments and the pros and cons: http://www.redweek.com/resources/payment-method-comparison

There is more information in our Resources area or please feel free to contact support@redweek.com for any further questions or concerns.

Thanks, Marty
