Re: First time renter in need of good advice - how to verify who I am renting from (by John B.):
It sure would be a good idea if Redweek had some kind of rating system for owners and renters to be rated like ebay has for buyers and sellers. Something that includes comments.
We have been using Redweek to rent out our timeshare weeks we aren't using and to rent weeks from other owners. We find it more efficient than the exchange companies. We feel we get a better deal than using one of the timeshare exchange companies and its easier to get exactly what we want when.
We do wonder if the owner we are renting from is legitimate. So far in dozens of rentals, we have never had a problem. So far we have never had a problem with a renter/tenate.
When we rent out our weeks, we have had many potential renters that are skeptical and needed some reassurance. It sure would be a lot easier if Redweek had a rating system.
A rating system would reward the better owners by giving good ratings. It would also give us owners more comfort when renting to someone we don't know.
