Services We Provide
The Sales Staff
Our company receives over 1,000 incoming
calls and visitors daily from people with an interest in resort
properties. These responses are generated by the vast advertising
campaigns promoted by our company. Our operation uses the latest
in technology and has a dedicated staff to extend the same courteous,
professional and results-driven service to each of our valued customers.
The Customer
The customers who advertise with our company
to sell, purchase or rent property are immediately entered into
our computer system. Their individual property criteria is activated
immediately and the matching process begins. Owners who advertise
their properties with us have the potential for an immediate match
to buyers already in the system as well as exposure to new buyers
and consumers who enter the system daily.
The Advertising
We advertise, advertise and then advertise
some more! Rii® Stroman advertises its services everyday through
local, national and international media (newspapers, magazines and
trade journals, and the internet) and has the largest in-house direct
mail marketing operation in the resort resale industry with over
4.5 million mail pieces annually. Our web-site contains
an on-line resort catalog at www.timesharelink.com.
In addition to our extensive advertising, we solicit cooperating
brokers and owner referrals.
The Auctions Rii® Stroman
sponsors and promotes Resort Property Auctions at least four times
annually. These auctions are motivational to our buyers, sellers
and renters alike and have been an additional source for results.
Many times, exposure to the Auction process generates sales long
after the Auction is over. As part of our marketing efforts,
Rii® Stroman designed and developed a special buyer/renter referral
marketing vehicle - the Vacation Way© Program markets to nearly
80,000 real estate brokerages and more than 2 million real estate
licensees, of which more than 1,300,000 are REALTORS®.
This program has further expanded our reach into the global marketplace.
The Sales Support Staff
Our Sales Support Representatives have access to
your complete property registration file and are capable of making
any changes necessary relating to your property or customer information.
This support to our Sales Department is invaluable because it frees
our Sales Associates to concentrate on reselling and renting resort
properties. At Rii® Stroman, we want your property to sell
or rent, and we work very hard to get the job done quickly; however,
we sincerely ask for your patience. No real estate (traditional
or timeshare) is ever sold or rented fast enough to please the seller.
Please understand that when a prospective buyer or renter expresses
an interest in a property, our CTLS© computer system begins
a search based on the specified criteria given to us by the interested
prospects. The computer system, in turn, searches for resort properties
that best match the criteria given. Once the search is complete,
the agent will take the extracted information and relay it to the
potential buyer or renter. If the prospect wishes to make a firm
offer, we will immediately contact the seller, or renter with the
offer.
The Sale or Rental Scenario
We genuinely request that our customers recognize
the reality of the sale or rental scenario. You have working for
you the very best in the business. However, typically properties
simply do not sell or rent overnight! It may take weeks, even months
or years for some properties. We do not know exactly how long it
will take to resell or rent your property. According to the American
Resort Development Association, the national average time to resell
vacation property is approximately 22 months. However, the same
report admits that there are no true comparables with respect to
vacation properties. It all depends on the demand for a particular
location, during a particular season, etc. Most properties resell
at 25-50% below their original purchase price. We have prospective
buyers and renters and lots of them! However, in this environment,
some people are looking for bargain sales and rentals; and in many
instances, it’s the bargains that resell or rent first. If for any
reason your property does not resell or rent in a reasonable amount
of time...please take another look at how you have it priced. You
may contact member of our sales support team to adjust your price.
You, the owner, must make the final decision of what price you will
accept. We will continue to provide the professional services that
you need; we’re strong and we’re reliable. Your property is our
business!
We work diligently on behalf of our customers
and have gained very valuable experience in the process. We know,
for example, that heavy national advertising and aggressive marketing
are what it takes to get vacation property resold or rented. We
have also found that our unique computer capabilities are an integral
part of the services we provide our customers. The non-refundable
advertising fee is necessary to cover the on-going advertising,
marketing and computer costs that are a vital part of and essential
to the overall selling or renting strategy.
In addition, we have determined that rewarding
our Sales Associates with incentives over and above commissions,
motivates and keeps the team spirit in high, attitudes positive
and aptitudes sharp! Remember, when you register your property,
you have the world’s largest resort property resale broker working
on your behalf and performing the specialized resale and rental
services that you require!
