Re: Owners want money up front first?!

I agree with this 100%! Why an owner would not spend $10 to get their listing redweek verified is beyond me; however, unfortunately, there are hundreds of listings on red week that are unverified. Just yesterday, I had an uncomfortable exchange with an owner regarding a property in Aruba. I emailed her and asked why she was not verified as it would make me feel much more comfortable moving forward with the transaction. Her response was flippant to say the least, and she said, "are you going to pay for it?" and told me to stop wasting her time as if I had offended her. Wow! Needless to say, I won't be renting from this person and will use the verified filter in the future.
