Thank you for asking and again allowing us to explain our booking process.
Once we have contact with the owner and know we have a unit available or have one in inventory, we take a $500 deposit so we have a solid commitment from the renter.
We do not tell an owner and tie up an owners unit unless we have a solid commitment backed up with a solid deposit.
We then continue the process of the exchange of the rental agreements and the double verification of the unit with the resort. The resort verification we do is to make sure the owner has not made a mistakes with dates, view designation, and to reveal any other possible discrepancies.
Once the contracts are signed by the owners and the unit verified with the resort, we release the renter to make flight arrangements etc, and have the renter make the balance of the payment.
If, for any reason, the unit is no longer available because the verification did not pan out or the owner has changed their mind or quickly rented it to someone else in the middle of the transaction (which can happen in this quickly moving market), the renter is refunded, no problem, and we offer to secure a replacement unit.
It is very rare that a booking does not pan out.
That would be a waste of our time and we certainly do not want to disappoint our clients.
We have this process and do things in this order, because it is a time tested process and protects all of the parties to the transaction.
Some people and other companies may do it differently but we are confident in our process and that is why we rent more of these units than any in the business.
We often bail out renters who booked with other individuals and companies who don't know what they are doing only to have it go bad after they have booked airline tickets or
We have happy renters and owners. And have a solid track record longer than any in the business.
We explain our process, terms, and conditions extremely clearly to all renters and owners. We actually, "beg" renters not to put down the deposit unless they agree with our process and we will not change it. It simply works best for these kinds of transactions. And as a result we have a stellar track record with our owners and renters.
Keep in mind we have done thousands and thousands or rentals without a hitch.
We wish more of our rental and owner clients would share their successful experiences with the readers more often. Unfortunately with busy lives many only take the time to post if they have an issue or are skeptical.
VacationTimeshareRentals.com has a rating system much like Ebay. (Where we have an excellent rating going back to 2006, technically 100%)
Hopefully RedWeek can implement something like that one day.
All the Best
