This is my first post. Kevin from Ready Rentals has contacted me tirelessly over the past few weeks, claiming that they have live access to 15000 travel agents, and that all tourists are after ABTA bonded holidays. The are based in Fuengirola. He wanted to charge me 900 euros for property management & letting advertising in said travel agents. He pointed out the co-op web site that featured properties by them. I said that I wasn't interested in changing my property management team, but was interested in advertising. He came back with a price that included 'key lounges' which was 870 euros (only 30 euros cheaper than with property management) which started the alarm bells ringing. I asked to speak to someone who had taken up this offer, but was told that I couldn't. He told me that the property management option came with a money back guarantee. I told him that this was too expensive for something that wasn't guaranteed or had a track record, & could he do a cut price first deal to prove the figures then I'd be happy to pay full price for year 2 etc. He refused, but kept adding that we were sure to get between 100-150 nights in the first year, increasing over the next 2 years, & quoted massive rates of return. I was interested if only to see if what they said was true, but didn't want to part with the best part of 1000 euros to find out. I have no idea how he knows what quality our apartment is as he's not seen a picture or the apartment, he kept refering to the apartment being in Andalucia, when its in Elviria, which made me think he was working from little knowledge.
I have no idea how the process for getting your cash works either. I declined their kind offer. I'd love to hear anyone who has gone with them & got bookings.
