At Algarve-Rentals.Com we aim not to take over your letting business, but to act as an additional arm in this increasingly competitive market.
Some owners already use "land-based" agents to do this for them. Others like to handle their own rentals. You can continue to do either of these and add the Algarve-Rentals service to your marketing portfolio.
That way you don't miss any opportunities and, as you only pay for successful lets, it's free advertising and marketing for you.

If we let no weeks for you, you don't pay a penny! So there's absolutely no risk.

If we do let for you we take a commission fee which we add to your NET tariff. To discuss terms please telephone Anne on 00 44 141 416 2967(office hours) or 00 351 96 9537951 (mobile) and I will get back to you ( landline please ) or email advertise@algarverentals.com

You've got nothing to lose - and only business to gain. References provided. Remember, we charge nothing to list your property.

We are also holiday home owners ourselves and have years of experience of dealing with clients´needs. You can see our own properties at www.algarve-rentals.com/cumeada

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

1. You fill in the details of your property on a form which comes to us by email - or you can print it out and send by fax. You can link to a form FROM HERE.
2. We make up your own page of property details, including photographs, description, tariff etc and list this on the Algarve-Rentals site. This is completely free of charge to you. We only derive any income from you if we succeed in letting your accommodation. This does not stop you or any other party letting the same property. To kep the cost of the property competitive we ask that you provide us with net rates that are AT LEAST 15 per cent less than you advertise privately.
3. Visitors to the site who are interested in finding out more about the property send a form to Algarve-Rentals directly from your page on our site. This contains a unique code which identifies your property. If the enquiry is asking about availability for specific dates we aim to reply WITHIN 24 HOURS, usually much less, with potential availability. Running concurrently to that we will have contacted you to confirm availability of those dates. We always ask that you keep us up to date with your availability list. You must email or fax through a weekly list and also tell us immediately of any changes. Emailing regularly in a simple format of booked dates allows us to build confidence in an owner's availability and reliability.
   If you are not prepared to do this please do not list your property.
4. Once we have 100% confirmation of the availability for the potential client we will let them know. Usually you will provide that in writing (email or fax) to ensure there is no confusion over what is being requested. We all know how often clients get their dates wrong!
5. When the client asks for the week/s to be booked we ask you to hold the dates - usually for 24 - 48 hours - to allow the reservation to be made without fear of conflict with any other clients who may come to you direct.
6. Once the client has filled in a booking form and paid a deposit the reservation has been made and we inform you immediately.
7. We handle the let, including passing on any instructions relative to your property. Balance is taken 10 weeks prior to departure and payment made to you asap but always within 3 weeks at the latest. We will not normally send you a deposit - however please talk to us to discuss if this poses a problem.
8. It is our aim to visit every property we let through Algarve-Rentals. Where we are letting a property which we have not yet seen personally we will always inform the client of this. Our aim is to only provide properties of a high standard. That doesn't mean only at the luxury end of the market, but accommodation which is clean, well kept, provides adequate equipment and lives up to its description and is priced according to its standard.
9. As owners you are aware that property letting is never an exact science and potential clients can be fickle! We pride ourselves on a high standard of service with COMMUNICATION between all parties the fundamental key to our success.
   As part of our contract we request that owners email once a week with the up to date booking list EVEN IF NOTHING HAS CHANGED and as soon as a booking is taken. If you are not prepared to do this please do not ask us to list your property.
10. We can provide testimonials from owners and clients delighted with our service.
11. We are also private holiday home owners in the Algarve and it was our own success in letting through the internet which prompted us to offer this service to other owners. See one of our own properties by clicking here
12. We understand that you may wish to ask many questions before commiting to this service and urge you to call to discuss. You can email from here at any time or call personally to 00 44 141 416 2967(office hours-there is a voicemail - if no reply please leave a landline number for any country and I will call you back) or 00 351 96 9537951 (mobile Portugal)
13. Please don't forget we need a good description and at least four, preferably six or eight, good photographs showing your property in its true light both inside and out. Pic of the pool, lounge, at least one bedroom and the kitchen are essential- but the more the better.
14. We request that where a client comes to you through our agency that client remains a client of Algarve Rentals. Should the client come back to you direct to ask to stay in your property again we expect that you refer the client back to Algarve Rentals. Without this honesty system, which works well with our regular owners, the system would not work. Owners who abuse the system will be dropped from the site. We ask that you do not leave your own address and contact details in the property. Your own clients will already have this information.
