I was driving down the highway when my cell phone rang with a gentleman inquiring
about my rental unit and asking for more information. I suggested that he click
the video icon underneath the first picture on my listing, and view his video to
experience all that his rental has to offer. The conversation ended. In five minutes,
my cell phone rang again and the same gentleman was calling back! Only this time
he wasn't inquiring about my rental, he was calling to book it! My video gave him
a great overall view of the rental, beach and area. The video allowed him to go
beyond the still pictures on my listing, and truly visualize where he would be staying
on his vacation.

After seeing Joan and Jeff Talmadge being interviewed about their website on the
TV show Chronicle, we posted our newly purchased Popponesset home on their site.
We have been very pleased with the results and impressed with the knowledge and
thoroughness of the WeNeedaVacation.com staff.
The latest feature on the site, video, enables the prospective renter to visualize
what to expect upon arrival and not be disappointed! This added feature truly showcases
our home, and the responses from the vacationers have been very positive. Their
comments have been complimentary to the ease and friendly use of the site.
The video feature helps the website stand out from the rest! Thanks to Joan, Jeff
and their team for their hard work and commitment to make this the best vacation
rental website.

Thanks to your help I have my condo rented for two weeks so far in May! People that
visit the sight loved the video and sold them on the unit. At this point I want
to pursue the same for my Vineyard property.

A potential renter recently asked if we had more pictures to show his family because
they get so excited about their vacation, and it was such a relief to be able to
direct them to the video on our website. Not only did it give them a great vantage
point of the interior and exterior of our home, but they could see Upper Mill Pond,
too. It was hassle free for me as a homeowner and took absolutely no time as in
years past when I would have to download a series of pictures and e-mail them.
The process to set up the video was so easy and you were so helpful throughout.

The video that you put together of our beach house has made a big impression on
people who have come to our site on WeNeedaVacation.com while looking for a vacation
rental. After viewing this video, these people have gotten the feel of our house
and beach and have had only positive things to say about it all. The video has allowed
these people to get a thumbnail sketch of what their vacation could be all about.
We have booked up quicker this year than we have in the past several years. I can't
help but think that your video has made all the difference.
Thank you for doing a wonderful job for us.

Houses for the homeowner are a lot like babies for their parents. We are so proud
and want to show them off to anyone who will take the time to look at our "brag
book." In the case of rental properties, this is so true. Like proud parents, we
homeowners forget that the pictures are dated, the sun wasn't shining or the baby
had egg on his face.
Welcome the video or montage. Suddenly our house looks fresh and appealing. The
angle of the room shows that great wall of windows, bringing in tons of light and
making the family room look like a room in "House Beautiful" magazine. Wow! Is that
our rental house? Maybe we could get more rent per week!
I love seeing the "new house with the new video" and have had more and more interest
from Ireland to Switzerland once the video was up and running. I think that a fresh
look at an already great property is a valuable marketing and selling tool.

I am very pleased with my bookings this year. I have never been completely booked
this early, which is definitely a bonus. I am still getting inquiries for early
June. A few from other sites have requested more pictures and it was great being
able to direct them to WeNeedaVacation.com to see my many pictures and the video!
I am planning to keep all the extras when I renew this summer. I appreciate all
the extra time you all have dedicated to me!
