GERONIMO! Vacation Rentals for Charity Announces Partnership With RealTimeRental

June 30, 2011 - PRLog -- Ocean City, NJ – June 30, 2011 – RealTimeRental, a vacation rental software company, and Geronimo! Vacation Rentals for Charity, the only company that simultaneously allows owners to increase booking revenues and be charitable, today announce a business partnership that will help RealTimeRental clients turn spare weeks into big donations.

RealTimeRental’s new partnership provides property managers, representing more than 100,000 rental properties, with any easy way to list homes and sell vacant weeks. Geronimo!, which launched on March 1, 2011, already has more than $1 million in donated vacations in its growing inventory of vacations. There are more than 1.1 million nonprofits that can benefit from donations made through Geronimo.

Current RealTimeRental clients are now encouraged to visit the Geronimo! Property Manager interface (http://www.geronimo.com/propertymanager) and set up a free Geronimo account to get familiar with all of the features and benefits of the platform.  Later this summer, RealTimeRental clients will be able to easily opt in for fully integrated Geronimo services and properties and inventory will automatically be imported/ marketed at that time.

“This is a unique partnership in that it not only gets us one step closer to our goal of raising big money for a wide variety of charitable organizations, but also allows us to work with a true industry leader in reservation management systems,” said Mike McFadden – founder of Geronimo.

"This is a great partnership and a venue for my client's to take advantage of the last minute booking and offer their owners a means to make some revenue they'd have otherwise lost and also a means to donate to their favorite charity," said Sherry Tomasso - Co-Founder of RealTimeRental.

The partnership also provides property managers with another incentive.  While all Geronimo listings are free, property managers still receive their full fee on every Geronimo reservation.  Property owners have the option of donating half or all of the rental proceeds.  The manager/owner remains in full control of the rates and of the dates donated.

The rollout of a fully integrated RealTimeRental/Geronimo! solution is set to begin later this summer.
