Greetings ,

Happy New Year everyone! We are excited about the new year and what that means for our Sunriver guests. Like most of you, we feel it's important to list our resolutions for 2006 to keep us focused on what's most important. While most people flub on their resolutions, you'll find these are just a small part of our Customer Bill of Rights that we are proud to work by, and to constantly improve upon.

1) Sparkling clean - We have the best housekeepers in the area working for you because we know how important a clean and well-maintained vacation home is to your family or group, and to us.

2) Continue to offer our guests the best value on Sunriver vacation rentals - Compare our nightly rates and what you get for your hard earned dollars, and you'll always find that we are the best value in Sunriver. Sunset Perks, F*REE Express Check-in, Extra special amenities with no extra charges like high-speed Internet access in all rentals, complimentary pool and tennis passes (in season), Personalized vacation planning, and more!

3) Service, service and more service - You're the boss and we work for you. We are always looking for ways to make you happy, and to never disappoint.

4) And, if we do screw up, we make it up to you - We aren't perfect and we do mess up from time to time, but when we do, we'll do everything in our power to make you happy and get your issue resolved in an appropriate and timely manner. Period. Let us know how we failed you, and we'll work on fixing it.

We look forward to serving you in 2006!

Best regards,

Lynnette Braillard
Marketing Director

And the rest of the Sunset Realty staff!
