subject: Safe Hands Transfers: The End of your Timeshare Headaches [print this page] One of the biggest problems that timeshare owners face is the fact that they are locked in to the contracts for the rest of their lives. The term "perpetuity" is a term that is often used in the timeshare industry. Perpetuity means perpetual or continual, or put another way: forever.
Timeshare owners are attempting anything and everything in order to get rid of their vacation resort timeshare. The word "desperate" comes to mind when discussing what lengths timeshare owners will go to, in order to alleviate their timeshare contract misery. I know of one couple who told me they would do anything in order to dump their timeshare, even burning were it near enough. Thankfully the couple is from Wisconsin and the burdensome property lies in Mexico. Now, timeshares can be found all over eBay, Craigslist, and even newspaper listings.
Timeshare owners have been deceived at every turn by timeshare companies. How many prospective buyers were sold on the concept that purchasing a binding contract is a great investment? Among the supposed "rewards" are a low vacation price that will never go up; assurance of a readily maintained vacation property; and eliminating the usual hassle and bustle that comes with reserving and planning. And let us not forget the investment of wonderful family memories that are simply priceless! Wow! Talk about a hardcore sales strategy. How can a perspective timeshare owner say no to all of that?
On average, timeshare maintenance fees are increasing 15% annually. If you factor that by another 10 years, these fees can be life-changing, especially for elderly owners who are on fixed incomes and find themselves not utilizing their timeshares as much as they used to when they were younger. Timeshare owners are also realizing that now that their children are grown and out on their own, they don't enjoy their timeshare as much as they used to. Factor in the cost of air travel and time off from work to go to the timeshare, and it becomes a real financial issue. Most people will go on holiday for 4 days on average, not seven. In the current economic climate, it is more and more difficult to justify taking time off and then pay $1,000 in maintenance fees, and another $2000 in special assessment fees, for something we would rather not be using.
Another recourse would be to go it alone. Timeshare owners are listing their titles on websites such as eBay and Craigslist, high-traffic sites which should be effective right? Unfortunately no. If you go on eBay right now, you can see at least 2,000 timeshares for sale at any given moment. You will also see that the majority are for sale for $1! And if that is not bad enough, you see that they are getting 0 bids! Stunning I know. Timeshares are just not selling. No one wants them.
