Our Services Provided to Those Selling and/or Renting Vacation Properties
Transactions relating to Vacation Properties often involve several parties responsible for fulfilling various roles; as such
we want to be clear about The Services PTR provides. PTR is an advertising company specializing in resales and rentals of
Vacation Properties. By advertising a large number of diverse Vacation Properties, and by utilizing our knowledge of search
engine marketing (“SEM”) as well as search engine optimization (“SEO”), we are able to provide a high level of online exposure
amongst people interested in purchasing or renting Vacation Properties units. PTR posts information on this Website that you
provide regarding your vacation property (referred to as "Advertiser Content"), along with resort contact, location and amenity
information. We will forward all inquiries about your Vacation Property directly to you, and you may then negotiate the sale
and/or rental of your Vacation Property without further involvement of PTR. For clients who provide PTR with an email address,
there will be an option to create a login, and manage your own account. Any inquiries on your property will be viewable
directly from the Website, and you may reply to such inquiries from the account management section.
PTR advertises its Service through various advertising media, and attracts buyers and renters to the Website or invites them
to contact us directly for information. We do not specifically advertise your Vacation Properties in all of our advertising
