Craving some precious vacation time? Especially if it’s, say, a five-bedroom villa in Jamaica with a personal chef and two spa attendants?

Well now you can house sit. Jetsetter Homes, which just launched, is a collection of the world’s finest rental properties that you book online just as you would a Jetsetter hotel. Every single home has been verified by our correspondents, and as well as members-only prices, we offer some on flash at up to 50 percent off.

To celebrate, Jetsetter Homes is giving away an exclusive trip for 10 to Jamaica.The prize includes five nights at Roaring Pavilion villa, a personal chef, two spa attendants, a trove of jet skis, and $5,000 for travel needs.

From a modernist masterpiece on St. Barth’s to a mini-mansion in Buenos Aires, a chateau in the French Alps to a four-bedroom ski lodge in Beaver Creek, you’ll find it on Jetsetter Homes. There’s just one downside: returning the keys at the end of the vacation.

I wanted to make you aware that Coldwell Banker has joined with our parent company, Realogy, along with its other brands, in placing an advertisement in today’s edition of USA TODAY in strong support of why now is a great time to buy a home.

The ad asks USA TODAY’s 3.2 million daily readers the question, “Rather than sitting on the fence … why not own it?” and provides five supporting reasons why now is a compelling time for qualified buyers to purchase a home. Along with Realogy, we felt it was important to take a leadership position in the industry and put out a visible pro-housing message in the market at a time when too many others – ranging from Congress to consumers – appear to be sitting on the fence about homeownership.

We hope that our simple message will encourage consumers to consider the facts and talk with one of our local real estate professionals if a home purchase is in their future plans. Likewise, we continue to make our voices heard in Washington, D.C., in support of homeownership and its importance to our economy and society. You won’t find Coldwell Banker sitting on any fences, and we are proud to count on you for your leadership as well.

As real estate professionals, you understand that this is a remarkable time for qualified home buyers to be in the market, and we encourage you to continue to communicate and share these messages with your clients:

• Homes are more affordable
• Rates are low
• Timing is everything
• Homeownership is still the American Dream
• Financing is available

Go to view the USA TODAY ad and read more about these key messages.

 Thank you in advance for your assistance.

 Sincerely,
 Rick Turley
