Who do you use or by what means do you rent your condo?
I've been using a local realtor, but she is taking 15% commission right off the top & on top of that, we have to absorb user fees for the renter & any services (i.e. maid service/laundry) that can be as much as $175. usd per week.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Re: RENTING OUR CONDO
We rent ours by newspaper ads in our hometown paper and by watching sites like this where people express an interest in renting a condo. Our neighbour here in Vallarta has had alot of success with vrbo.com. In the past we have Fed-Exed the keys after receiving the payment, including a self-addressed stamped envelope for returning them. Now we have a caretaker that we trust and he keeps a set of keys for renters. We include maid service in the rental fees and have our own washer and dryer so laundry is not an issue.Junebug wrote:Who do you use or by what means do you rent your condo?

I second the comment about vrbo.com. I always use vrbo. Renters don't mind paying for the maid service, as long as you advertise ahead of time that there is a $60 cleaning fee, or whatever.
One of the landlords of a Nuevo Vallarta condo, who lives in Pennsylvania, Fed-ex'ed the keys to me with instructions, and we let ourselves in, and then mailed the keys back to him when we returned home to the States. We paid by mailing him a check ahead of time. It was simple from my standpoint.
For other rentals, there has been someone there to greet us and give us the keys to the unit.
