Today’s expert guest is Keith Brady. Owner of Florida Vacation Rental Law, he’s Florida's leading authority on vacation rentals. Keith has dedicated his career to the vacation rental industry and offers counsel to governments, businesses, and individuals.

Keith’s here to give us the cold hard facts about vacation rental chargebacks. The truth is, you’re very likely to be at risk! More truths? Chargebacks are a scam. They make us feel powerless. They force us to question the good in the world. They make us mad! But – they can also be avoided. And we even have a few useful steps to take after experiencing a vacation rental chargeback.

Keith walks us through several useful steps to take in our messaging which drastically reduce our susceptibility to fraudulent chargebacks before, during, and after a contested reservation takes place. He’s an open book in sharing secrets of the trade, detailing his own professional experience, and leaving us with actionable steps to help protect against scammers.

Don’t leave your business open to be taken advantage of! Preventative care is the name of the game. Huge thanks to Keith for sharing this important information with the Thanks For Visiting audience.
