I would imagine such a program would be very popular because TS owners do not have to deal with the developer or answer inquiries from ads placed. Yet, placing a fair price on this service is dependent on how the unwanted TS is eventually disposed of. Understandably, not all transfers would require the same work and an Exit company would be foolish to underprice a service. In consideration of the foregoing, it would make sense to put a max fee of no more than the cost of the MF on the unit to be disposed of.yes sorry, that was totally the intention.
no illegitimate/illegal/borderline fraud/whatever concepts even in mind. just a flat out "timeshare exit" with payment on the back end...vs upfront.
eg. you no longer want your timeshare, and also dont wish to be bothered doing research on your options to get out of it vs just paying a fee once its done.
That would make sense, but what would be the incentive to do so as long as they have inventory to sell to new unsuspecting buyers?H
They shouldn’t make any money or exist.
How about if EVERY timeshare company had to offer a walk away option to any owner who owed nothing after 15 years of ownership?
Regrettably, your statements are spot on.When you acquire a timeshare "for free" the reality of the market is that you may have to "pay" when it is your turn to move on from ownership.
That can mean footing the transfer, legal and other fees associated with moving the timeshare to its new owner.
While a timeshare may be paid in full, that doesn't mean it has any value. It just means you don't have any debt.
Getting rid of the burden of maintenance fees is a good reason to pay those fees for the new owner.
In fairness, most timeshares that any buyer obtains for free through any third party - are because the seller is picking up the third party fee structures and any transfer costs to the buyer - not because the entire transaction itself is free of charge/expense.
What we learn in life is that what is logical, fair or even legal is not necessarily what happens in the world of TS ownership.What is the percentage of reseller owners that obtain their timeshare for free Or a resell timeshare.
IMO, I feel it is than twenty (20) %.
I feel timeshare developers are not losing one dollar. Timeshare developers can sales the same Villa for 51 weeks. Next the timeshare developers adds points or joining a resort club to the equations.
Who do you feel is the winner the timeshare owners or the timeshare developers???
How many Villas are in the average timeshare building. I am going to be safe and say 12 Villas.
Why should any timeshare owners needs to pay any timeshare developers to take back their timeshare. All that timeshare developers are going to do is to sell again at full price or half price. That developers is still making money on a used timeshare Villa.IMHO.
