“Christine is an excellent speaker and she has good pacing. I've looked at many of the articles/webinars on HomeAway.com and was afraid this would be a duplication of info but it wasn't.”
“The seminar reinforced things that I already knew. For example, I have more conviction now when I turn away a single night or a two night rental because it is too much work for the return!”
“Good stuff — it is the little tweak here and the little tweak there that will make a big difference.”

**Note: This is not a sales seminar. While HomeAway.com is the sponsor of the event, this seminar is designed to educate second home owners, not to pitch a product. That said, Christine's books will be available to purchase on-site, or you find them at your local chain bookseller such as Barnes & Noble, Borders, or Amazon.com.
