Holidays Hills Branson Mo
We no longer reside in TX and live in MT, we have a TS at Holiday hills in Branson MO but would be willing to look at a permanent exchange with something closer to MT. Where could I get information on this type of business transaction?
Thx

It is much easier to sell or give away what you have and buy somewhere that you want. Looking to exchange with someone else means you need someone who wants the exact reverse of what you want. You can check redweek.com, TUG marketplace or ebay.
 
Yes but will still have a TS on the wrong side of the country so will need to sell or give that one away, I certainly see what you mean
thx

A timeshare is easy to buy. You need to get rid of yours before you go out and get the other one.
 
There is also an outside chance the Branson TS will accept a deed-back.

If think a private exchange of a Branson for a MT TS is gonna be a no go. Unload the one you have and buy where you want to go.

We were able to sell an Idaho TS on Google Marketplace where it got exactly zero hits in the TUG Marketplace.

Cool! So join and be one of us for $15/yr. Click the menu above and select 'Join TUG'. It's the best bargain in timesharing. And fully refundable if you don't see the value.

Does anyone here know of Holiday Hills, (Silver Leaf Resorts) in Branson MO has a deed return policy? I just spent 75 minutes on Hold to no avail.
We paid cash for our TS years ago so no mortgage and fees are paid monthly.
Cheers

I think Silverleaf Holiday Hills is a Holiday Inn resort now. I believe that the deed back program is called Horizons. You should call the resort title services department. I think there is a fee of about $1200 for their deedback program. Plus, a year of maintenance. I would call while its early in 2025 and hopefully they don't charge you a extra year for 2026.
 
Yes indeed it is owned and managed by Holiday Inn Resort. Love to have a number to call, I was on hold for 75 minutes yesterday and no one bothered to pickup.
cheers

I know this process can feel frustrating, but I wanted to share some helpful resources!

Here’s the website where you can submit a request to begin the process for a deed back according to Holiday Inn Club’s website:
👉 Holiday Inn Horizons Page

It looks like the fee is $1,200, just make sure you’re caught up on payments. If you’re sure you want to proceed, starting at the beginning of the year might help you avoid paying for an additional year. That said, I can’t confirm if they’d charge this early, so keep that in mind.

Here’s another helpful link shared on TUG by TUGBrian with more information:
👉 TUG Advice on Exiting Holiday Inn Club Timeshare

If you fill out the form on the Horizons page, that should be a good starting point!

For more details, maybe someone with additional knowledge can share insight, including a direct phone number if they have it.

Good luck, and I hope this helps! 😊

Thx for the info, I also have it posted for free on TUG marketplace and have already had one person from Tug membership group enquire about it.
 
Do we reply thru this website to a message or just reply to a persons personal email address?
 
Do we get a lot of spammers on this website from Tugs market place or people trying to scam you for free TS
Thx

No, but we recognize them when they do. Just ask. Usually they are exit companies.
 
I had a gentleman message me through this website enquiring about my TS, all I could do is send him a reply thru his personal email that was listed.
Just curious
Cheers
 
I would just walk away from your existing timeshare if they won’t take it back and you can’t give it away, and then purchase a resale contract where you want to stay. Odds of a credit hit for only unpaid maintenance fees are low.

Do not, under any circumstances, pay any organization claiming they will help you exit your ownership. They are all scams.
 
Does anyone know what the owner number is when filling out the form to Holiday Hills form in returning your TS to them?
Thx

Perhaps it is on one of your maintenance fee bills?

I keep seeing legal advice like this being offered to timeshare owners about "just walking away" as the worst that can allegedly happen is you might or might not get much of anything of a credit hit.

As if there's zero money owed and there's no way the resort will seek to collect in court. Indeed, if the only way for the resort to get its real estate (the timeshare) back is a judicial foreclosure, they'll have to seek both the foreclosure and their owed money via an attorney in a civil law court case.

Which means the defaulting timeshare owner might end up (or at least I can speculate that they might end up) with the following obligations:

a judgment for unpaid maintenance fees PLUS all late fees according to the bylaws PLUS attorney's fees. And, upon getting that judgment, PERHAPS the timeshare entity can't get anything because you haven't got a pot to blankety blank and you're judgment proof or PERHAPS they'll seek to collect your judgment via seizing your bank accounts or even foreclosing on your home.

If you don't pay your $10,000 balance credit card, is the "worst that can happen" that you might maybe possibly get a credit hit?

How 'bout if a person or bank lends you money under a written contract?

I'm sure, fido, that you and others are trying to be helpful, but I wonder if that "just walk away" advice is indeed helpful.

It would be great if this website had stories from people who "just walked away" to see what the aftermath may have been.
