In January this year we finally decided that the escalating Maint and Taxes on our timeshare were getting out of hand.
Spent the whole of January researching on the internet to determine how best to sell the timeshare. Contacted a couple of Florida attorneys for advice.
One referred me to another attorney who had a guaranteed exit strategy for $2000. When I read their paperwork, the small print said not guaranteed! After reading some more forums tried a recommended Donate a timeshare company who quoted me $1600. Still seemed a considerable sum to give away a timeshare. Tried another widely advertised guaranteed exit strategy website - they wanted $450 up front and did not answer my questions. Thought I might as well try and give it away myself.
Found the TUG site - read all the info on how best to sell a timeshare.
Joined TUG and advertised advertised timeshare for $1:00 and 2012 week to buyer. Had a firm offer within 10 days!!
On TUG recommendation used Janet Ammirati of JRA Services to handle transfer. Cannot recommend her highly enough - her prompt communication all the way through the process, her patience with all my questions both telephonically and by email, her prompt acknowledgement of when the fees arrived in her account, her very strong written assurance to us when our UK attorney (unfamiliar with Florida law) expressed concern during notarisation of documents etc all underlined her professionalism and integrity!
And so in just over two months, our timeshare was transferred to new owner on 13th April and all of this process accomplished by email from the UK.
This Florida timeshare company is particularly difficult to deal with directly - and if you are a Westgate owner - I strongly recommend you use JRA services as they are very experienced in dealing with them.
Any owners still undecided on how to sell or give away your timeshare securely - read up the TUG advice and recommendations. It will save you time, money and stress.
Thankyou TUG and JRA Services
