Question: Is there anything I can do to get ready for the Vacation Rental Switch?

Answer: Because participation in the Switch will be available based on a geographic roll out, the date you will be able to register is not yet determined. However, there are certain things that can be done to prepare for participation.

There are certain guidelines or "rules” that have guided VRMA during the development of the Switch. These rules include standards in the system that VRMA has insisted upon to protect each vacation rental manager who participates in the Switch program, such as leaving control of rental rates and blackout dates with the hands of the participating manager.

These rules also provide guidance for the content that will be required.  Vacation rental managers should be prepared to provide the following:

• Description of the Vacation Rental Management Company (75 words or fewer)
• Logo of Vacation Rental Management Company
• Description of the vacation rental unit (75 words or fewer)
• Photographs of vacation rental unit (minimum of 4)
• Floor plan of vacation rental unit (if available)

Now is the perfect time to gather details and photographs in preparation for participating on the Switch.
