Sell My Timeshare Now and Timeshare Broker Service - Be Warned!

That's just over two sales a day.. I personally thought the number would be much- much higher than that even taking into consideration the over inflated offer propaganda.*

Surprising information.. Thanks for sharing....

*(When you ask a question on the SMTN site- a full price offer is automatically registered.. Try it if you want to see what I'm referring to..... Two or three questions between a buyer and seller trying to find out property specifics and it's easy to see how the received offer exaggeration happens!).

Richard, How many sales did GMAC do last year?

Thanks for the chance for a free IPGMAC plug, but I'm going to have to respectfully pass on the opportunity since I now work at another cooperating office. Let's just say that 2008 was a good year consistent with 2007's totals, even with the challenges faced in the final quarter..

Of course, if I remember correctly- I think some broker out of New York was responsible for about 750 sales of those 2008 sales all by himself! I believe you were the most active cooperating broker for 2008... (Sorry, Syed- but he got past you in the homestretch!)..

As always, I'm amazed at the number of transactions you manage to do each year with a one man show.. Truly incredible.

I still wonder if Jason made a mistake with his year end total. He does amazing things with internet searches, so I just thought his number would be much higher.

2009 will be the real challenge.... For every reseller big or small, and for every single owner hoping to sell.....
 
Here is some of the info written in the SellMyTimeshareNow Press Release which confirmed the sales totals for last year..

For 2009, the number of timeshares sold is up nearly 10 percent over this time last year..... Don Nadeau, licensed real estate broker and managing director of Timeshare Broker Services, says, "Last year we sold over 900 timeshare resales at Timeshare Broker Services, and we took our commissions after the sale on each one of them. ....." Timeshare Broker Services' parent company is Sell My Timeshare NOW, a timeshare resales and rental advertising company that specializes in the online marketing of timeshares by owner.

Jason obviously didn't make a mistake in his earlier post with the low number..
 
Very interesting thread, but I am still a little unclear on what to make of it as a BUYER searching the market for a good price. I patiently have been looking for a while, for the location, unit, and week I want, on TUG, Redweek, eBay and other places, waiting for a strike price I thought was fair and reasonably likely. I now have a contract in hand for that price, with the seller being Southern New Hampshire University (it was mentioned above that they formed a working relationship). Is there anything in this post or elsewhere that should make me question whether they will deliver what was promised, and the price in the contract, and that the closing will be timely and successful?
 
good comments but...

you're not from Maine. Though it is informative, I believe you are trying to pawn this off as someone else? I noticed you missed a few names too... just sayin'... you're not from Maine. So anybody else that reads this enormous thread should really know.. it's not who you may think. Nice try 'Guy.
 
The Truth is out...

Everything that Timeshare Guys is saying is absolutley true! Let me be one to tell you that SMTN and all its other names are absolutely corrupt! They operate very sneaky just to make an extra dollar and believe you me its not just with the customers its with employees as well. DO NOT WORK WITH ANYONE AFFILATED WITH THESE PEOPLE THEY ARE ALL CORRUPT!

SNHU you may deal with but why not do the transfer yourself? It is not that hard? MOst resorts will tell you exactly what you need to do and often have a support team to do such a thing at a minimal charge.
 
Clear and Calm

I have been reading so many different posts from angry people who feel they have been cheated and others defending different companies because they got what they were promised. All very emotionally charged.

This is the first conversation thread I have seen that has provided a clear history that seemed sympathetic to the firm's original concepts and the author sounds genuinely sorry that the industry pressures changed the company. I like my timeshare and only want to rent some excess points due to so much travel for work. Renting seems to be just as challenging as selling, just less to lose if you are cheated. The posts that question the author's motives are clear, calm, and logical.

Such civil conversations are needed not only on these sites, and it is appreciated. Thank you.

Scott Q. was around for months after he got fired. It takes about a week to issue an arrest warrant unless they catch him within 24 hours of the crime. Gary Sheldon also stole over $100,000 from people, he died months after. There is no proof because nothing was done. It was kept quiet. This is important because the fraudulent double charges placed on the client's cards, in Scott's case, were not refunded unless someone complained. They kept the money, instead of refunding all the cards, and prosecuting the person in question. As for Laura Selway, were her assets not frozen? Did the FBI not seize her computers, and launched an investigation? It was in the local newspapers. What ever came of that? If she embezzled money would she not be in jail by now? Regardless of the people that have fraudulently used credit cards in the past, they continue to let people in the door without screening for convicted felons. This is important for potential clients to know before they pay a company who takes no consideration for people in general. It's scary because at a glance they seem like good, honest people. This is exactly why people give them their money. I feel sorry for the many people that they had move up to New Hampshire from Florida, just to break all their promises and fire them.
