Re: Successful Resales & Rental Feedback Wanted (by Carol S.):

If your week is a fixed week or a floating week you need to know. Call your resort and see how they do it, most resorts are familar with red week.com. I own at PB Sunset Beach and I also had alot of questions on this. Check with your resort, but you should be able to call your resort and check if the renters request is availiable and then you let the renter know. You get a confirmation from the resort to send the renter with there name on it, along with the renters agreement. The agreement is on this site. Get them to send a cashier checque (registered) to your name. or use the escow system if you like. You should be able to have the authority to cancel the reservation if the checque is a issue. It should not be since it is guarentee funds. It can get tricky depends on the requesst and the date of reservation. I know my resort needs 15 days cancelation fee, or I pay $100. Depends on how busy the resort is, you may want to book your week in advance and then you have it for sure and then can advertuse iit on redweek knowing it is available. This can limit your contacts since you could have someone who wants a week differant than what you are advertising. By putting a time frame like Jan to Mar 2012, and still book a week somewhere in that but leave the opportunity to change it when you get a request. Your resort may or may not have the week, when you get a request,.but it gives you more opportunities to request. Another thing take a look at the rentals listed under your resort. Make a note of which weeks seem to be most popular, try to not be the lowest, but in the average. Like alot of the rentals on my resort for a Junior go anywhere from %700 to $900. I put $750, I have four weeks, so I have a longer frame of time on my ad. If you have any questions send me a note. It took alot of work for me to find out all the ins and outs of this. Another thing, not sure if the resort is weeks or points. My resort is points, but the points convert into weeks, Like a 100 points is equal to a week of rental. Or if I was to use 200 points, I could rent a 1 bedroom unit which would be a highter rent, It just depends on how you want to do it.
