Show Volume II, Issue XIII THE OGDEN VALLEY NEWS Page 19 1 July 2000 SLOC, Coldwell Banker Offer Residential Accommodations Program for 2002 Olympic Winter Games The Salt Lake Organizing Committee has signed an agreement with Salt Lake City-based Coldwell Banker Premier Realty to become the Official Licensed Manager of the Residential Accommodations Program for the Olympic Winter Games of 2002. Through Coldwell Banker, SLOC will offer an inventory of private residences and rooms for rent during the Games. Homeowners can begin the process of registering their homes by calling Coldwell Banker at (801) 4643663 or toll free at (800) 606-0453 or accessing the Web site at www.UtahHomes.com. Prospective guests will be able to review available properties and make reservations this summer. Coldwell Banker Premier Realty is the local affiliate of Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation, the industry’s premier international real estate brokerage network of 3,000 real estate offices and 75,000 agents. One of the organization’s leading affiliate companies, Coldwell Banker Premier Realty includes 11 offices serving the Salt Lake City, Ogden, Davis County and Park City markets plus an affiliated office in Provo. “Coldwell Banker brings a variety of important services, experience and worldwide exposure for homeowners and guests during the 2002 Games,” said R. Scott Webber, President of Coldwell Banker Premier Realty. “Our goal is to help make the Olympic experience extremely positive for guests to our community and to provide a standard by which future residential accommodations programs will be measured.” “The residential accommodations program through Coldwell Banker is the only program licensed by the Salt Lake Organizing Committee,” said John Sindelar, SLOC Director of Accommodations. “As the official program, the Organizing Committee will forward inquires for residential accommodations to Coldwell Banker for service. Coldwell Banker will be directly connected to SLOC’s Web site and marketing efforts, especially in conjunction with ticket sales.” SLOC’s accommodations program has accumulated about 20,000 rooms at more than 250 different hotels and motels within a two-hour radius of Salt Lake City. SLOC provides housing for athletes, officials, journalists, broadcasters, sponsors, and other affiliated Games’ participants. “Our hotel accommodations program has been tremendously successful, and we expect to have sufficient lodging in place to meet SLOC’s obligations for the 2002 Games,” Sindelar said. “However, SLOC ticket sales begin this fall before many of the remaining rooms in the market are expected to be made available by their owners and management. This residential accommodations program offers guests a quality source of housing and allows early ticket buyers to confirm reservations in the fall of 2000 in conjunction with their purchase of Olympic tickets.” Two types of residential accommodations will exist, subject to local zoning laws: HomeStay: Owner vacates furnished home for rent HomeHost: Owner provides room without vacating “Members of the community have been calling the Organizing Committee since 1995 offering their homes for visitors to the Games, “ Sindelar said. “We encourage them to contact Coldwell Banker as the official licensee for home rentals.” “Coldwell Banker will be looking for homes that are near the mountain venues, located in downtown Salt Lake City, or within close proximity of any of the competition or non-competition venues, as well as luxury homes for corporate use throughout the Olympic region,” Webber said. “Owners renting their homes through the residential accommodations program will realize a good, fair return. It won’t pay off the mortgage or buy and Ivy League education, but it is a great opportunity to share in the economic benefits of the Games.” The residential accommodations program will also be the gateway for people who want to make their homes available at no charge to the families of athletes and SLOC Games support staff. A registry will be established and managed by a third party still to be determined. Coldwell Banker and the Salt Lake Organizing Committee are in the final stages of establishing the program’s operating procedures, including home inspections, pricing, minimum stays, quality standards, services and contracts.
