Vacation Rental in Bejing……..You go first and tell me about it.

I love the Olympics.  Some of the fondest childhood memories I have are of watching the summer and winter Olympics.  In Austria, where I grew up, the coverage was 'old school'.  Instead of the human interest stories and highlights, the coverage showed the first competitor and then showed every competitor thereafter - just like being at the event.  That clearly has its pluses and minuses........the marathon........

Back to my point.  I love the Olympics.  In 2002 I was able to go to Salt Lake City to watch some of the winter games.  Now what if I wanted to go to Beijing to watch and stay at a vacation rental.  I know there are many places to look, but I Googled 'Beijing vacation home'.  The #1, yes #1, organic listing that came up was from craigslist. 

I love craigslist.  Almost as much as the Olympics.  But to go thousands of miles to Beijing on a craigslist ad.  Whoa!  I think I need a bit more reassurance.  Not that I am a wimpy traveler.  I can tell stories with the best of them.  But there is just not enough confidence for me in booking a place far away, form a person I do not know, without any type of third-party reassurance. 

This underscores the importance of creating a network within the vacation property manager community to validate and endorse certain property managers.  By overcoming these types of traveler hesitations, we can grow immensely.

Good news - if you have what it takes, craigslist has 100s of available rentals.

Higher, Faster, Stronger.
