The “Lanzarote Villa Owners Club” is made up of independent villa owners with administration provided centrally.

As an owner, you may want to advertise your property or properties as widely as possible, but, at the same time, you will want to minimise your costs and get the balance correct, between sites that charge you a fixed fee to advertise and ones that charge you a commission or admin fee if and when they get you a booking. This site falls into the latter category, where you pay an administration fee if and when it gets you a booking.

The principal difference is that as a member/owner, YOU CAN ALSO EARN COMMISSION as well as pay it. Owners often get frustrated when they get enquiries, only to find out that the period requested is booked already. If this happens to you next time, why not contact the enquirer and tell them you are a member of a villa owners club and explain that if you pass on their enquiry, we will look across the goup to see if another member has availability in a similar property.

If such ‘leads’ are converted to successful bookings elsewhere, then YOU GET 50% of the administration fee / commission, for doing little more than contacting the enquirer and passing on the lead.

No-one is going to get rich on the commission they earn, but it will reduce your overall costs (eg if you pay commission another time or if you pay for adverts elsewhere). So, no matter how successful you are at marketing our property and even if we never get you a booking, the villa club can and will work for you.

So what does it cost to join ? - It costs absolutely nothing to join the club or to have properties featured on this site, not now or in the future, regardless of how successful this site becomes and we are working very hard to get this site recognised in Google and other search engine rankings !

So how do we generate funds for the club and what do we do with it ? - The owners club generates its funds by obtaining fees/commission on bookings. However, the commission rate charged is relatively low (at a maximum of 10%) when compared to others and very often its only half of this (as half may be passed to another owner for the initial lead). The central funds are invested in the website (hosting, ownership of domains, development and maintenance of high quality coding), administration and off line advertising and for the occasional get together if and when the owners/members meet the administrator for a drink in Lanzarote to discuss improvements as the owners will decide how the club and this website develops !

How else do we ‘work together’ ? - We aim to share information on good (and bad) builders, plumbers, electricians, pool and property cleaners and to share experiences on advertising on paid portals and in magazines etc etc, so that we all learn from each others mistakes ! ... and we also intend to use the club as a means of negotiating discounts as it is often possible to do things collectively at a lower rate (eg advertising).

Want more information ? - Use the “Email us to Join the Club” link above or if you'd prefer to discuss this over the phone, telephone Phoebe (but as she has a young family do it at a reasonable time please).
