Re: First time renter in need of good advice - how to verify who I am renting from (by RedWeek Support):
Johnb1919-
We considered the rating option, but our management team felt that it would give the brokers who use our website an advantage over individual owners, since they would have more rentals and ratings and an individual owner, with only one week a year, would not. So we came up with a system to ensure a safe transaction by using First American Title escrow services (Escrow)
We will also provide feedback if someone is interested in a particular posting-- they can contact us with the posting number and we will let them know how long the owner has been a RedWeek member and if we have any complaints on the account.
