Timeshare Relief – The First and Final Way To Get Rid of Your Timeshare

Are you a timeshare owner looking for some timeshare relief?  No matter the reason, getting rid of a timeshare right now can be be a real nightmare!  There are plenty of ways that seem like possible solutions to your timeshare problem, but especially in this economy, many of them frankly do not pan out.  So, go with a sure thing on your first try and stop wasting valuable time and money.

The first thing you realize when you attempt to rid yourself of your timeshare is how difficult it is to do it on your own.  Yet, many agents and listing companies over-promise and under-deliver on the high fees they charge.  Even most charities will not take a timeshare any longer.  They are finding them just as hard to move as anyone else, and they certainly do not want to get stuck with maintenance fees that they cannot afford.

There are more and more developers who are renting their unused timeshare inventory for less than owners’ annual maintenance fees.  This discovery has outraged a great deal of owners.  First, the resort itself competes against the owners for renters with discounted rates.  Secondly, owners are forced to lower their rent to match offers.  Lastly, when you take into account the fact that people can rent significantly cheaper than they can buy, it makes sense that selling a timeshare is a problem.

Similarly, you will find that even people who like the idea of timeshares aren’t buying them anymore.  With the downturn in the economy, traveling is quickly becoming a luxury.  While we travel to see relatives and loved ones, we are forgoing the leisure destinations.  Therefore, across the board, owners are trying to get rid of their timeshares.  Competition for the rare buyer is fierce.  Unless you can offer something that thousands of others do not, you will not get a deal.

So if listing your timeshare doesn’t work, donating it doesn’t work, and you can’t even rent it, what’s left?  There is hope.  Use Timeshare Relief!  We’ll transfer the timeshare out of your name so that you will never have to pay another maintenance fee again.  What’s more we guarantee this timeshare transfer transaction to our clients.  Unfortunately, we cannot accept timeshares that are not paid in full.  Other qualifications may apply.  But call or contact us immediately before another maintenance fee or special assessment bill hits your mailbox!

Timeshare Upgrades or Take Over of Payments

There’s a dirty little secret within the timeshare industry that timeshare owners should be aware of.  Although the practice has been dwindling, all owners should watch out for the timeshare upgrade offer or offers that will supposedly take over the payments of your current timeshare.  You’ll sometimes receive offers in the mail or by phone to instantly upgrade your timeshare, or some fantastic offer to take over your current payments.

Think about this…why would ANY company want to give you a free upgrade?  A being a loyal customer?  Those days have long since past.  Here’s what will happen…

You’ll be offered the upgrade for an upgraded price.  The price will seem reasonable since you’re getting a huge upgrade for just a little more.  Heck, they’ll even throw in your original unit for a $1.  So you do the deal…guess what you now have two timeshares with two maintenance fees and the possibility of two special assessments anytime!  That’s not an upgrade, that’s getting you to give the developer more of your hard earned dollars.

As for taking over payments, again, think about it, why would any company or person who you don’t know want to do this?  They’ll simply take your problem for nothing?  It won’t happen.  Check the BBB to see if a company is legit and that it have a 4-5 year track record.  See if they tell you who owns the company and who represents the company.  It comes down to transparency and whether or not they have helped others in the past.  Do business with companies that do good business for your timeshare relief.

Timeshare Donation Brokers – Not Always a Savior

Yesterday, we discussed why many charitable organizations are no longer taking timeshare donations.  Today, we broaden that topic to discuss some of the companies that offer a chance to contact many non-profit organizations in order for timeshare owners to get rid of their timeshares. 

There probably are some good timeshare donation broker companies out there, just like Timeshare Relief has a solid reputation in the timeshare transfer industry.  So, do your own due diligence.  Make sure that the company has a strong track record over 4-5 years.  Review their Better Business Bureau rating.  Many forums that have many anonymous or pseudonym userids with either negative or super-positive posts probably have their own agenda…so take the information knowing that it could come from a competitor or from within the company.

Realize that most of the donation brokers will want to perform a market analysis to supposedly see what your timeshare is worth.  In my opinion, this market analysis really doesn’t mean much.  Developers can show what people are paying for their timeshares, but they have professional salespeople selling.  Even local governments do not understand that for most people, timeshares are simply liabilties — can you imagine if I offered you to pay me every year for something that you didn’t use.  How much would that be worth?

When you sign up for your market analysis, you provide all the information about your timeshare.  Guess what?  You also provide them with the perfect information that timeshare brokers who buy & sell timeshares want.  These aren’t necessarily timeshare DONATION brokers.  They’re listing companies, real estate agents, timeshare developers, and anyone who would like a list of timeshare owners.

So, if you EVER sign up with a timeshare donation company, make sure that you read their privacy policy.  They should never be able to sell, rent, lend, barter, etc. your information about you or your timeshare.  Otherwise, be prepared for telemarketers that disturb your dinner every night!

Timeshare Donations – A Solution or Another Dead End?

After timeshare owners find out how difficult it is to sell their timeshare, they often resort to charitable organizations to get rid of their timeshare.  Like selling, timeshare donations are not as easy as owners anticipate.  Many charitable organizations and non-profits have experienced timeshare ownership and have come to realize what many owners have — timeshares can actually be more of a liability than an asset.  Paying every year regardless of the use of the timeshare is a rising fixed cost that many organizations would prefer to not have.  It also takes time to manage and/or provide to supporters or others.  Furthermore, with the timeshare resale market being the way it is, they cannot sell the timeshare just like individual owners.  So, many non-profits have have decided to simply not take any timeshares as donations.

Tomorrow, we’ll write about timeshare donation brokers — companies that will supposedly find you a non-profit that will take your timeshare as a donation.
