Safe Exit? Massanutten Royal Vista

[oneboxermom]

My friend died and his partner (Not married) still has the timeshare this year. Sales ppl called to book her a lunch date...she explained cannot pay anymore since she is elder/SSI. They offered the free lunch and said she could come to discuss an option called "Safe Exit". I am attending with her but I have never heard of this option nor can I find online anywhere. Massanutten - Royal Vista without RCI stuff. Fees are uptodate 2025.

What is safe exit and is it a real option? TIA ~ Jen

Is her name on the deed? If no, she is off the hook. If yes, tread lightly. You both could end up owning a timeshare. Best to skip the lunch. It may be very expensive.

Hi, yes she is on timeshare deed. I totally see your point about EXPENSIVE but going to explore this possibility...if it is real or not. We both abhor the timeshare nightmare!!! I am at the point to give away for her benefit. IDK next steps, figure something out.

Are you sure these “sales people” are really with the resort and not with a scam exit company? Even if they’re with the resort they’re almost certainly going to try to sell her something she hsouldn’t buy. Nobody goes to a free lunch to discuss a resort’s exit option. I would:

1. Pass on the free lunch.
2. Contact the resort or HOA directly (NOT THE SALES DEPARTMENT) to inquire about the possibility of a deedback or to see if they have a legitimate exit program.

IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances should your friend give any money to any company promising to help her exit the timeshare. THEY ARE ALL SCAMS.
