My opinion and experience re: RedWeek... (by KC):

Have you tried redweek, if so, how did it go i have a family mamber that want to rent from and I would like to get the info as soon as possible

I am frankly not at all clear on just what you are actually asking here, but I can still certainly tell you this much:

RedWeek is unquestionably among the very BEST sites in existence for conducting timeshare sales or rentals --- on EITHER side of the transaction. As a timeshare owner, I usually USE the weeks I own, but I have occasionally (and successfully) rented out some of my weeks, advertising on RedWeek. While there is certainly a cost to advertise, RedWeek ad "responders" are rarely just "tire kickers" or scammers, since everyone has to join (i.e., must PAY to join) RedWeek before even being able to respond to a RedWeek ad at all in the first place. This paid membership requirement helps a whole lot to eliminate and discourage most of the scammers, spammers and "tire kickers", fostering a "serious inquiries only" environment.

I have also rented weeks myself (i.e., as a renter) from RedWeek ads, always successfully and without a hitch. I will likely do so again when I see an advertised week I want to rent, somewhere I want to go, offered when I want to go there and offered at what I consider to be an acceptable price.

If you are trying to rent OUT a timeshare which you or your family member own, remember that the week itself (NOT the particular advertising site) is really what matters most. A week being rented out has to be a week for which there is some demand and interest in the first place. The rental must also be competitively priced compared to other similar advertised weeks at the same place in order to generate any interest --- REGARDLESS of the particular site on which the week is being advertised.

I hope this input helps you.
