    Cabo Vacation Rental Market Steps Up Payment Security To Boost Business

    Sotheby's and El Encanto de La Laguna to Integrate DepositGuard’s New Payment Platform

    Los Cabos, Mexico (PRWEB) November 03, 2011

    The vacation rental industry in Los Cabos, Mexico, is about to get a major boost after Los Cabos Sotheby's International Realty and El Encanto de La Laguna — an exclusive beachfront community in Cabo — announced that they have contracted with DepositGuard to securely handle their vacation rental payments. The addition of this platform clears one of the major hurdles in the international vacation rental industry — reserving the property in advance by making the rental payment in a simple and secure fashion, but allowing the traveler to arrive and verify the property before the payment is disbursed to the owner. This new development is expected to fuel rental bookings and attract new customers to Los Cabos and the surrounding areas.

    “This is a game changer for us,” said Julie Kershner, Managing Broker of Los Cabos Sotheby's International Realty. “DepositGuard gives travelers peace of mind, because they now feel more comfortable and relaxed. And subsequently, our property owners will see an increase in revenues and ROI.”

    DepositGuard is a web-based service that standardizes the way money is handled for online vacation and residential long term rental transactions, securely collecting, holding and administering deposits and pre-paid rents. Under the terms of the agreement, Los Cabos Sotheby's and El Encanto de La Laguna will use DepositGuard’s new payment platform on all of vacation rental transactions.

    “We’re confident that DepositGuard’s service will eliminate any reservation hesitation that our rental clients might have,” said Aaron Wesselink, Sales Manager for El Encanto de La Laguna. “A vacationer’s confidence in how his or her money is handled is crucial to the vacation rental business in not only Los Cabos, but anywhere in the world.”

    Because there is no standard way of handling money for vacation rental payments in international destinations, Los Cabos Sotheby's and El Encanto de La Laguna sought the security and confidence that DepositGuard delivers to renters, homeowners and companies serving the vacation rental industry.

    “Upscale vacation rental properties and their property managers are counting on the security benefits that DepositGuard delivers as a solution to this problem,” said Alan Lane, DepositGuard’s co-founder and Director of Business Development. “Our studies show that more than 78 percent of travelers would rent vacation homes more often using an online service if payment was securely held by a neutral third party until the rental starts.”
