Summer1010, Homefinder, Marksfish and John Wolfendale thank your ever so much for your intelligent and honest posts.

We get regular feedback from our customers and are always looking to bring more value, the point of the post was to get an insight from those not biased towards what we do (or even know what we do for that matter) just to see what the general opinion is of those that Own and know about property in Spain.

You guys (meant as an affectionate, not solely male directed term) named above have achieved this and hopefully any Agents reading this post will focus more on the needs and wants of their customers as a result of your opinions or continue to do so if they already are.

I eagerly invite others to have their say/opinion, it does matter and this post will get read.

Thank you again

Your Valued opinion

Holiday Home Rental Owners only (not long term)

I really would value your opinion on the numbered items below

I have been a forum member for over 3 years, but I have started this new identity so there is no conflict between advertising and getting your opinion. My true identity has my website etc on it so hence I'm not using it, please also don't pm me as I am not touting for business as I respect the forum rules and I will not PM you (I don't think I can with a newbie identity anyway).

Justin and team - This is not advertising, there are no names, tel numbers and no pm's, please do not remove this post, it's important for Owners and area's of Spains economy.

Why should you offer your opinion?

There are Owners out there suffering with a lack of rentals to the point of getting repossed, this kills me, it doesn't need to be like this! However i want your opinion on what you the Owners really want!!!! I know what I think is the answer, but it's you the Owner that can only really give true feedback.

I am trying to create a service that will bring prosperity and value to the area an Owners property is based in and to the Owner to stop these repo's and actually help them make money. Eventually help aid an increase in property prices due to area popularity and much more. Yes my company will make money in achieving this, but we will help a hell of a lot of Owners (maybe you one day!) and cater for a lot of happy holiday makers

I want to hear from Owners that rent their property out for Holiday Rentals across Spain (Murcia and Costa Blanca especially)

So here goes.....

Please could you answer one or even all of the following

1. Would you pay upfront for a huge marketing package that is heavily discount (30%+) on the top websites such as holiday Lettings, Holiday Rentals, EOS to name but a few (21 in total, 11 different languages, 11 different countries) etc or is paying upfront a big no no?

2. What is your main bug bear or issue with renting your property out, i.e. lack of rentals, poor cleaning, poor tenants, bad property managment etc

3. Do you want to handle your own enquiries and rent payments or would you rather someone else did it!

4. How do you feel about Property managers charging an annual property management fee, do you understand why or do you resent it?

Thank you for taking the time to read this post, please contribute honestly and genuinely, this is not about helping me run my business it's about giving you guys, the Owners, what you really truly want.

Thank you again
