A Tip From Resort Members Association

Here is a quick tip that all members of resorts or timeshare owners should be familiar with. When it comes to your vacation ownership it is important to make sure you are not being taken advantage of.

One of the most common schemes that targets timeshare owners and other resort members involves listing companies. These are somewhat unscrupulous websites that market a service to timeshare owners to help them get rid of or sell their timeshares. While a service like the one described is certainly in demand the one that is most often offered is not exactly as helpful. The majority of vacation property or timeshare listing companies do not offer a viable solution for owners to get help in selling or simply getting rid of a timeshare or vacation property contract.

With these exit solutions owners and resort members are more often than not left waiting for someone to take their timeshare off their hands. Unfortunately that someone never comes because these listing website companies provide little to no marketing for those who pay to post their vacation property on the site. Months will go by and the owners will simply dish out the monthly listing fee over and over with not so much as a nibble on their vacation property that is listed for sale.

Technically these listing sites are not doing anything illegal but what they promote as an option for timeshare owners or resort members to get out is simply unscrupulous. By encouraging vacationers to list their timeshares on unknown websites, even if just for a small fee, they are preying on people who are in need of help. Taking advantage of people when they are in need is something to be ashamed of and these listing websites know all too well that they are charging owners for next to nothing.

So if you are a resort member or timeshare owner, this association wants to make sure you know just what the listing companies are.
