Timeshare Transfer

Without a doubt, the most common questions asked across the interwebs regarding timeshares are about how to get rid of a timeshare. The large majority of timeshare owners admit that they bought on impulse and felt pressured by sneaky timeshare sales tactics. As time goes on, they usually realize, especially considering rising timeshare maintenance fees and surprise special assessments, that they would really like to get out of timeshare.

Buyers almost always attempt to sell timeshares themselves first, especially if they have a redweek timeshare under the assumption that it’s high in demand and worth something, but that usually this assumption is met with much disappointment when it simply does not work. Then, when the timeshare grows to become more and more of a liability, most owners will turn to one of two different kinds of timeshare companies. The first kind of timeshare company is a timeshare listing company that offer to list your timeshare on their web page. The second kind is a timeshare transfer company that transfers the ownership of your timeshare to a third party. The difference is that one works and the other is subject of thousands of investigations for fraud across the country.

Timeshare resale companies are companies that offer to sell or rent timeshare property for you. They charge you a large up-front fee before they do anything and then might simply list your timeshare on some web page and wash their hands with the situation, even though they most likely guaranteed the timeshare owner a sale and a profit. A huge number of these companies are now being investigated by state Attorney Generals across the country. In fact, the BBB (Better Business Bureau) has given many of these companies an “F” which is the lowest grade possible for a company. Currently, timeshare resale is among the biggest scams going on in the United States.

Timeshare transfer companies are another beast entirely. For a small fee (that you may be charged by the resort owner anyway), timeshare transfer companies will take your timeshare, maintenance fees and special assessment fees away from you forever. Basically, a timeshare transfer company will arrange for your timeshare to be given or sold to a business entity that can manage it better than any one individual can. There are still many of these types of companies that operate immorally, but with the right research, the timeshare owner will be able to tell for themselves what company to go with.

There are some simple questions to ask the company that you are thinking about having buy your timeshare that will help you decide which company to choose:

• First, ask about upfront fees. A lot of companies have them, so make to figure out why they are charging and how you know you will see an investment on your property.

• Ask the company what they are going to do with the company and how they selling timeshares, when you cannot. This will help you find out the legitimacy of the timeshare company.

• Be sure to ask if they can take any kind of timeshare, regardless of condition. Any company that says yes to this is lying. Imagine handing over a timeshare that has a huge amount of debt on it and a company telling you that they are going to help you make a profit off the sale. It simply is not possible.

• Last, and most important, ask for testimonials from satisfied customers. Any reputable company should be able to put you in direct contact with someone who had used their service, and was very pleased with their outcome.
