Phoenix,
AZ – June 2013 / Hospitality 1ST / Dial
An Exchange (DAE), the world’s largest independently owned timeshare
exchange provider with worldwide destination availability, has teamed up
with SellMyTimeshareNOW.com, a leader in online timeshare resales and rentals,
to provide a benefit to timeshare owners who wish to monetize their vacation
weeks and to the consumers that wish to rent them. This new program will
guarantee that weeks posted by timeshare owners for rent on the SellMyTimeshareNOW.com
and ResortRentals.com websites
are valid and, in fact, available to rent – real time.

Commented
Fermin Cruz, VP Americas Region for DAE, “This is a tremendous benefit
to renters. Prior to the introduction of this program, independent owners’
rental postings were seldom guaranteed as described in their ads. Often
owners forget that they’ve rented to a friend, rented via another site
or not paid all appropriate fees, resulting in a lockout status of their
unit. In essence, the prospective renter had to trust the validity of the
rental ad they were reading. Since independent owners can set their own
prices, renters love to book these weeks because the rental rates are so
low. Now Dial An Exchange will do the legwork to ensure that the rental
is truly available and current.”
Starting
July, 2013, vacationers will be able to rent owners’ timeshares for week
long luxury vacations through each of the VacationOwnership.com
brand websites, SellMyTimeshareNOW.com and ResortRentals.com backed by
an accommodations verification processed by DAE. Pricing on the VacationOwnership.com
brands will be competitively lower and will be made available to all
timeshare owners, regardless of how many weeks they have to offer.
The new VacationOwnership.com rental program will appeal to vacationers
who prefer the amenities and spacious accommodations of timeshare resorts
at highly competitive prices, and will also enable timeshare owners to
monetize their vacation ownership by generating rental income. At the same
time, they will be introducing the timeshare ownership proposition to reach
millions of prospective buyers that had not previously considered timeshare
as an option.
Added
Cruz, “The service we are providing for the VacationOwnership.com brands
is part of our core competency and a perfect fit for us. Plus there is
huge value for the renters who will not have to worry if the owner has
paid his maintenance fees, already rented the unit, or deposited it with
an exchange service without taking down the rental listing. Until now,
such problems were all valid concerns. We anticipate that the continued
online expertise of ResortRentals.com and SellMyTimeshareNOW.com combined
with DAE’s supporting services will deliver a value benefit to the industry
as a whole, breathing new life into the secondary market.”
Jason
Tremblay, Founder of SellMyTimeshareNOW.com and Chief Marketing Officer
of ResortRentals.com adds, “Through advancements being implemented on SellMyTimeshareNOW.com
and ResortRentals.com, timeshare owners will soon be able to get their
properties in front of an extremely targeted and massive base of vacationers
who have been previously under-marketed for timeshare rentals. The new
timeshare rental booking platform will deliver what travelers and vacationers
want by making it easy for them to book and confirm their vacation immediately,
in the same easy way they are accustomed to booking airline reservations
and other online travel services.”
