Hi, I have found a unit on Red Week that I would like to rent. I have contacted the owners and they have sent me a vacation condo rental agreement to sign and send the full amont within 7 days. Is is common to send the full amont to the owner? Can I feel it is safe because I found it on Red Week? Thank You.

Hi Laura,

We highly recommend that you and the owner use a Vacation Rental Escrow Service to secure the payment. More information can be found at http://www.redweek.com/help/rental_process/escrow/.

Thanks, Marty
