Transitions probably won't be able to help you if you have past due maintenance fees. In order to deed back, the week must be paid off and maintenance fees are paid up to date.
You must up in all your maintenance and Club Fees.
Hi David,
I agree with Geist. If they've never succumbed to any "upgrade" sales pitches, it is likely a deeded property. The only question is what view category the deed belongs to.
P@P (Point @ Poipu) is the only location on Kauai that Diamond owns.
Did you follow up with them? If you know, what was the outcome and what is their current status?
Dear Mahalo, The Transitions program is indeed legit. Please read my post on this page (#47) of the thread. I go into detail of how the HGV Transitions program worked for me. If your mom has an ownership contract not encumbered by financing and has paid all maintenance fees (MF) to date, including the MF in the year you make application to be considered, AND you meet ALL other criteria to be considered for the Transitions program, just follow the instructions they send. In my case, I applied by phone and explained that due to age and health concerns, I am no longer able to enjoy continued ownership. That was it. Tip: I recorded each conversation by listing the date, time and person to whom I was speaking. They, in turn voice record all conversations. That is the standard, so I did the same. Once I received notification (via USPS) that my application was approved for consideration, I was directed to pay the $1,000.00 fee. I called the number on the letter and paid by cc. HGV Transitions transmis the payment info to the Title company. Assuming your property is deeded, HGV uses a title service in the state where the property is physically located to do a title search.. Then, an attorney drafts the transfer of ownership paperwork and it is filed with the county clerk's office. From the time I paid the fee to the receipt of the conveyance document (the document lists the new owner) four weeks had elapsed. In the world of real-estate and legal processes, this is reasonable. When DRI initiated the Transitions program, the fee was $250.00. If memory serves, this fee is only applicable in Arizona. Good luck.
Thank you for the info and reference to your post. Much appreciated!
My pleasure.....This is why the TUG community exists - owners, former owners, and just knowledgeable people whose purpose is altruism - to help others. The best part is that the information is free.....and no one is trying to sell you something ! Isn't that refreshing?
FYI, in 2021, Diamond Resorts was purchased by Hilton Grand Vacations. It's really the same company, just with a new name. Diamond had established the Transitions Program before they were purchased by Hilton.
Oh man this is perfect! I’m going to try the process tonight and hopefully I get accepted as well, thanks for this!!
You can certainly send in a letter or for a quicker response, you can call at the number listed for the Transitions program. The office is in Orlando, Fl. When you call, they will, as usual, ask for permission to voice record the conversation. My advice is to do the same. be certain you get the agent's full name. They will ask you questions to see if you qualify. They will look up your file. The list of qualifiers is published and reproduced as the letter indicates. If it is determined you qualify, you will be asked "Is there anything we can do to change your mind?" or similar language. A word to the wise is sufficient - if you know what I mean. In my case from the initial phone call was in September 2023. I received the acceptance letter / email a few weeks later. I paid the fee in early January and received the conveyance document (this is the document that lists the new owner - Diamond Properties) one month later. I did not have to pay the 2024 maintenance fees. Good luck !
