We’re starting a new section for the start of 2011 – ‘Owners Direct Verified’.  It’s a maverick scheme, and we’re not sure how it will work out: we are aiming to visit 10 properties around the world between the middle of September and the end of November, write editorial about your property and the area it is located in, then promote these properties through our ever increasing network of websites for the next year.

Let our journalist stay in your property for 5-7 days (single occupancy, and they will be very respectful of your home) – and we guarantee feature page editorial for three months, and country and area featured for 12 months on owners-direct.org. We will also be redesigning http://www.ownersabroad.org/ and the properties we visit will take pride of place on the relaunched website.  Instead of leaving your holiday property empty, why not get some free advertising?

To be considered to be amongst the first Owners Direct Verified properties, your property should:

- have wifi or be near a free wifi zone.
- be accessible by public transport, or within a 25 Euro taxi ride from the nearest airport.
- have basic amenities such as a supermarket located within walking distance.

If you are interested in being considered, then please email us with details of your property.
