Everything seems legit on their site...they are pretty straightforward...here is their FAQ:

Just like you, thousands of others are looking for a quick resolution forever alleviating them from this dilemma. Please keep in mind that sometimes purchasing a timeshare is NOT a real estate investment or perhaps it has just used up its purpose. Your Timeshare is a luxury vacation property that decreases in value on a daily basis while liability for maintenance fees and taxes continue to rise on an annual basis. Sure, some developments within a resort family like Disney Vacation Club retain value. However, the vast majority of timeshares are almost impossible to sell on the secondary market and the longer you wait the more you chase the value of a depreciating asset.
Ask questions and make sure you are dealing with people that have a proven track record. We and our affiliates are those people. We guarantee it.
Q: What does it mean to “qualify”?
A: We do not make any false promises or mislead you. We give it to you straight. The companies with whom we work have interest in certain properties and not others. In addition, they only work with companies like ours, not the general public, to acquire certain properties in bulk. If your unit meets their criteria (i.e. qualifies), we will pay all costs of transfer on your behalf and provide our service free of charge. The timeshare marketplace is rapidly changing, therefore the list of timeshares that we can inventory also changes frequently so you have to contact us now to avoid the possibility of paying yet another maintenance fee bill. Contact us to receive an honest evaluation of your property. Even if your resort does not qualify for the free service available, our consultants will provide you with the direction and solution that other companies cannot and will not provide free of charge, so please contact us now…there is no obligation and our service is 100% guaranteed.
Q: Does your company charge an upfront fee with a promise to sell our property?
A: No. We are not a listing company that promises to sell your property at unrealistic “ballooned” prices. We do not make false promises that the market is “hot” and there are buyers waiting for your properties. Timeshare is a luxury item that depreciates in value while increasing liability (fees) on an annual basis.
Q: Does my timeshare have any value?
A: If you and your family are using your timeshare on an annual basis, then yes, your timeshare has value to you. If you are not using your timeshare you are only paying for something year after year that you get no value in return for. Sure, some weeks within a resort development such as Marriott and Hilton Vacation Club can potentially retain value on the resale market. However, the vast majority of timeshares are almost impossible to sell on the secondary market and the longer you wait the more you chase the value of a depreciating asset. When you factor in the additional costs of annual membership and booking fees for exchange clubs such as RCI and Interval International, the cost to maintain the timeshare will cost you an average of $9000 over the next ten years.
Q: Who handles all the paperwork and transfer with the resort?
A: Once you have agreed to move forward with our offer, we submit all paperwork to Timeshare Closing Services, Inc. of Orlando, FL, a licensed, bonded, underwritten and insured full service title agency to professionally handle your transfer.

On average, the entire process takes 8-12 weeks. Please note that some transfer times may vary based on the location of your property and resort transfer requirements.
Q: Do I have to notify the resort that I am no longer the owner?
