Two days ago I launched a new Personal Service called Holiday Home Hunters. Its basically a 72 hour manual search for vacation home rentals executed by a real person.

If you have been out on Google searching for your family holiday home you may have stumbled across over the overwhelming results of over 44 million links to holiday home companies, vacation rentals and individuals offering their homes. It isn’t the only downside because many of the same homes are advertised on many different websites Vacation Rental Management companies can have hundreds of affiliate websites where they advertise their inventory.

A few years ago you could go down the local high street travel agent for a catalogue of rentals but only a very few good companies actually print them these days. The web should have pretty much captured the market for vacation homes but instead it looks saturated and ends up not being time saving in any way, in fact it can easily slurp up hours and even days of your time.

So, more choice isn’t necessarily good for the consumer who is time stricken and quality conscious. There are actually a limited number of holiday home management companies and owners who can offer any kind of guaranty your vacation rental is up to the standards you would expect. Getting reviews on individual holiday homes is very good if you trust their opinion and have the time to go through them. Getting someone else to do the search for you who has been in the vacation home rental business for years is probably going to be able to shed the wheat from the chaf.

I was in the holiday business for years and I’ve never sold anything to anybody without having a pretty thorough idea of what I was selling them, therefore getting very few complaints and many returning customers.

I have always been an advocate that there is a growing market for personal services oddly I’d never have thought a manual personal search on the internet would become one of them until very recently. However considering the raving reviews on the launch that does seem to prove the case.
