I have read that many timeshare holders do not know what they have just bought, let alone what to do with it. How will my clients know that they can trust a timeshare vendor fromTUG? Many newbies are telling me that there are shrewd business sales people in this field that are locking them into 30 year contracts. I dont want that . All I wnt to do is rent the timeshare out. All I want to do is rent resorts, villas, condos, and vacation units for short time visits, and to vacationers. I don't want my clients to rent a room, and then be told that they are committed to a 10-30 year contract. That sounds like a lfe sentence to me. I would like to gain your trust, and for you to gain my trust. Talking helps. I would like to speak with members on TUG who demonstrate great communication skills. I really dont want my clients to buy anything that they intended on simply renting out.

I'm not sure what you are trying to communicate here? Do you book timeshare stays for your clients and want to know how to verify?

There are stickys at the top of the forums for that.

This is a timeshare discussion forum / user group. I think you may be misunderstanding something here. Instead of posting this to this forum maybe you are better off emailing your question to the website administrators?

Your clients can trust a timeshare vendor from the Timeshare Users Group (TUG) for several reasons:

1. Reputation: TUG has a long-standing reputation in the timeshare industry as a valuable resource for timeshare owners. It provides reviews, advice, and a marketplace for buying, selling, or renting timeshares. A vendor associated with TUG is likely aware of the importance of maintaining a positive reputation within this community.
2. Community Feedback: TUG’s platform often includes forums and review sections where users can share their experiences with specific vendors. Potential buyers can research these vendors on TUG to see feedback from other users, which can be a strong indicator of trustworthiness.
3. Education and Resources: TUG offers a wealth of information and resources about timeshares, including how to avoid scams. Vendors associated with TUG are typically more transparent and willing to provide potential buyers with the information they need to make informed decisions.
4. Transparency: Vendors on TUG are usually more transparent about the terms of the timeshare, fees, and any potential drawbacks. This openness helps build trust with potential clients.
5. Community Standards: Being part of TUG means that vendors are expected to uphold certain standards and practices that align with TUG’s mission to provide accurate and unbiased information about timeshares. Vendors who fail to meet these standards risk damaging their reputation within the TUG community.

Encourage your clients to do their own research on TUG, including reading reviews, participating in forums, and using TUG’s resources to educate themselves about timeshares. Additionally, remind them to always perform due diligence when dealing with any vendor, even those recommended by trusted sources.

Sorry Oro, you don't sound genuine. If you want to learn, just read everything you can on TUG for a while. If and when you have a very specific question, post it on one of these forums.

We absolutely cannot share everything we know on any discussion forum. What I know about watching out for scams, how to rent, contract wording, etc., I could write a book, and that is sincere.

This is a doozy. Who are your clients? What country are you located in? What is your business address? Is English your native language? Am I communicating OK?

People should not solicit advice from a one time poster, especially with a gibberish post like this, and certainly not through a direct message.

If you want to rent a timeshare so you can go on a great vacation, the people who post TUG can help you.

If you want to rent timeshare week the re-rent it to someone else , I hope you will not find anyone willing to help you do that.

Who are your clients? What do you own that you can rent out?
As far as the disclaimer after your signature, you sound like you don’t know what you are doing. No one should trust you!

This makes very little sense. Maybe you can clear things up for us.

What is your business? What is your relationship with timeshare owners? What is your relationship with prospective renters? How do you intend to bring them together? Why do you listen to newbies, who are the very ones least likely to "know what they have just bought, let alone what to do with it"?

I've been on TUG for a fair amount of time and never once have I seen a complaint that someone rented a room and were then told they are committed to a 10-20 year contract. Was this from one of your newbies?

To be brutally frank, you sound like a newbie yourself and if you intend to embark on a timeshare rental business, you are most likely going to fail.

Wow Jim thanks for the kind words. For your information I am a C.E.O. of my own travel and tourism firm. I have been in operation for over 15 years, and still "rockin and rollin!" As a matter of fact the surplus money that my firm has been growing has guided me to learn more about timeshares. I'm sorry for your lesson in frustration. It seems like youhave learned alot.

Now David. if any one peraon should even consider embarking into any form of real estae business, don't you think that you should try being a little bit more kind hearted? David, please don't play with my time, or my timeshre business. Did you say gibberish? Yes, I think you did.

That's great. Your original post still doesn't make much sense. And I don't get the gratuitous "lesson in frustration" comment but that's okay.

Good Luck! Getting into timeshares will take care of your "surplus money."

You could be spot on with that advice Fido Chuckwagon. Pardon me while I learn my way around. I will take my business elsewhere. Have a nice day.

I knew I'd get a smile out of you Jim. The website administration frowned upon the thought of anyone doing any form of advertising. Where was I getting my information on notable buyers that claimed of geting committed to a 30 contract? It was right here on the TUG, and thoughout the forum. I trust no other source on timeshares other than TUG. I do believe that there are others who have learned to crawl before they can walk.

The drive-by (cannot even think of a proper description) comments get stranger & stranger.
I get the feeling the TS-Exit industry is posting to put TUG on and then they sit around laughing at the dozens of replies.

Thank you rickandcindy23, it's not easy gaining peoples trust in this industry. You own alot of resorts, and know these markets well! I'd like to learn more about the real to life knowledge that timeshares owners like yourself have been experiencing. If you are not overwheled please stay in touch. Have a nice day.

I think that's my first dislike ever! To be honest, I didn't know that there's a dislike button on TUG.

Wait a minute heae Patri. You dont even know me. I don't have any faith in you from the start. I can accept the part where I may not cmpletely know timeshares. Yes, you are right in that case, and for your debate, although the no one should trust me part, sound like you are yelling at me. You dont even know me. Try taking it down one notch please.

This sounds a lot like the person who is trying to get of timeshare after having multiple family surgeries etc. won't respond to any direct questions, just wants to babble and lecture about civility.

Look. People came here to do business. We are not the type that sit around at the beach in a lawn chair all day.

Serious question, who do you think you are talking to by making a post in this discussion forum? None of us are employed by, or in any way affiliated with TUG, other than we are members. If you want to speak with someone who is, you should be contacting one of the administrators/owners, as I suggested in my post.

Do business with who? What are you talking about? This is a forum for discussing timeshares. Are you talking about the TUG Marketplace? You are posting in a subforum where timeshare owners and prospective owners give each other advice on how to buy, rent, and sell timeshares. There is no business being transacted in this forum.

Hi Bill4728, are you saying that they may sell to me, although if I had a friend or neighbor who really wanted to stay at the Hyatt Resort that it would pose a problem if I arranged that for them?
