We have owned two weeks at Dikhololo in South Africa for about 20 years, and have been happy. Bought resale strictly to exchange, have never been to this resort, but have been happy with what we have been able to exchange into. We have taken our adult kids and grandkids on many wonderful trips using these weeks. Unfortunately, my husband, who has Parkinson's Disease, was diagnosed with progressive dementia last June and we have been advised to stop travelling. We need to get rid of our timeshares and the "kids" are not interested in taking them over.
I contacted Dikhololo to ask if they have a deed back program. They do not, but referred me to two real estate/timeshare resale companies, Cyclivacs and Cape Escapes. In checking the internet, it appears that Cape Escapes has a more robust program to help owners sell. They charge a one time listing fee of R399 which is $27 US. They do charge a commission if they are successful in selling for you. I am not concerned about what we might get for these weeks, we would gladly give them away; mainly just interested in discontinuing having to pay maintenance fees for weeks we can no longer use. We want to do this the right way, though. I am not interested in defaulting.
Has anyone had any experience using either of these companies to sell South African timeshares?
Thanks,
Karen
