Timeshares
are a tricky thing. At first, they seem like such a great purchase. Who
wouldn’t want to reserve a few weeks at a vacation condo by splitting the cost
with hundreds of other buyers?
Unfortunately,
like most things in life, there’s a catch. When you consider the hefty initial
payment, consistently rising maintenance fees, and special assessments that
blindside owners, timeshare ownership far exceeds the cost of conventional
vacations. These fees are so outlandish due, in large part, to the fact that
the resort’s marketing
campaigns are responsible for nearly 50% of the final timeshare price. These wildly
aggressive strategies lead to a huge mark-up in your costs.
On
top of the costs associated with owning a timeshare, it’s important to remember
that they can also be extremely expensive to sell. Most resale agencies require
a significant upfront sum to list your property, and they continue to charge
monthly fees until your timeshare sells. Overall, listing your timeshare will
cost you thousands, and they rarely sell, even after your financial commitment.
Of
course, timeshares rarely sell due to a number of factors, not the least of
which is that the reseller has little motivation to do so as long as their
clients continue to line their pockets. Coupled with the fact that a large
number of these companies are nothing more than fronts for scam artists, timeshare
resale companies simply aren’t the way to go. Usually, people only turn to them
when they’re desperate to dispose of their contract, only to lose hundreds, if
not thousands, more in the process. In fact, according to The South Florida
Sun-Sentinel, complaints about
timeshare resale companies doubled in 2009 to become the most frequent
complaint reported to the state’s Attorney General.
These
fraudulent companies do an excellent job of disguising their true nature, so
here are a few suggestions to help you determine the soundness of the company:
·
Verify the
business’ physical address: This is a surefire way to determine the validity
of the business.
·
Do your research: A simple way
to ascertain the legitimacy of the company in question is to contact the Better
Business Bureau and the state Attorney general.
·
Look for the
guarantee:
If the reseller doesn’t offer a full and guaranteed money-back refund of your
money if you aren’t satisfied with their service, DO NOT COMMIT to anything in
writing!!
Considering
the many drawbacks of listing agencies and the fact that many of them are
illegitimate, I strongly urge you not to enlist their help. The surest way to
avoid being scammed by a resale company is to not seek out their assistance in
the first place. But there is an expedient, affordable, and sensible way to end
your timeshare ownership.
