VRP Certifications have been developed by VRP Media, LLC to set a standard of excellence among serious rental property owners and managers. The internet has become a powerful medium for the travel and accomodations industries, but is also a haven for purveyors of fraud. Currently, vacation rental travelers are taking a tremendous risk when they book a property because they are ASSUMING that the information presented to them at listing services and websites is accurate and up to date. With a VRP Certification, travelers can rest assured that they get the same services and amenities that are being advertised and property owners & managers can differentiate themselves from competitors by showing their commitment to quality and excellence with each VRP Certified property.

Certifications from VRP Media are performed by licensed real estate appraisers who have received additional training in destination travel services. Our inspections are performed by PROFESSIONALS with experience evaluating the condition of rental properties as well as the building materials used in their construction. We believe this aspect of our program is paramount to the long term success and acceptance of vacation rental property certifications. Lenders utilize appraisal services to make sure that their real estate transactions reflect fair maket values. Why should vacation rentals be any different?

Our ratings are designed to provide the traveler with a consistent and measurable framework to gauge their vacation rental. Travelers know that the pictures they are looking at are accurate & current, and that the promised accomodations and services are delivered.

Vacation property owners/managers will benefit from attracting and doing business with good renters. When both renter and owner share the same expectations, repeat business occurs and word of mouth flourishes. Owners can also make their property certification(s) a point of differentiation among competitors.
