AGAINS RCI POLICY TO RENT AN EXCHANGE (by Mike N.):

RCI is our exchange company and we have 3 weeks to rent.

A word of CAUTION. It is against RCI policy to rent out weeks obtained in an exchange. If RCI discovers that an exchange has been rented, the week can be cancelled at the resort AND the TS owner may lose his/her membership.

One of the cautions given to potential renters is to verify with the resort that the person actually owns the unit and is not renting an exchagne. They are also cautioned to avoid renting from someone who says they have to get a guest certificate. If you advertise on the open market, issues could arise.

I would suggest asking friends, family, and past co-workers if they are looking for an inexpensive vacation. This way they can cover the exchange and guest fees AND slip you a little something extra.

In any case, you may not have had any interest since the 2nd/3rd weeks of January in Florida are not a high demand week. Coupled with the fact that Orlando is oversaturated with TS and 2 BR units were probably offered for less than $500 via RCI "Last Call Vacations"

For various reasons, I'm not a fan of an escrow company, but if a renter wanted to use one, then my rate would be increased by the amount of the fee.
