VACATION REGISTER,. HAS ANYONE USED THEM ? (by Christopher E.):

Well that's simple... the economy. You see, the owner of Vacation Register was actually spending about $30-$40,000 a week just on advertising! When the economy went down, fewer and fewer people were listing their properties which made it harder and harder to spend the money on advertising. Combine that with the fact that all these different companies started popping up that were "gauranteeing a sale" or even saying that is was already sold (basically scam companies) and it became impossible. He was also spending thousands a week on a department that was specifically in place to deal with every offer and inquiry that came in on properties (hundreds a day). You see... even with some of these companies that do a little advertising, they might get an offer on a property, but usually they just send an email alert to the owner and that's it, because they don't have a department that handles it. So an offer is sent to an owner and it's over. If the owner doesn't respond or if he won't accept the offer, that's it, end of story! Because we had a department to deal with it, we would contact the owner... if the owner didn't respond or accept, we would find another owner and present the offer... and another... and another. The same also applied to rentals. With one offer, we might have contacted 20 different owners until the we found what the buyer or renter was looking for. If we couldn't find it, we even shopped on different sites! I can assure you, there hasn't been a company like that before or since! It's a shame that's it's over.
