WHY I WROTE THIS GUIDE
“Timeshare exit” is the process of having timeshare ownership transferred out of an owner’s name and relieving the owner and their family of any current and/or future financial or ownership obligations. The exit process can take place in various ways: such as by sale, transfer, settlement, or cancellation under certain circumstances. Regardless of how one exits their timeshare, there are many aspects to be aware of and red flags to look out for. I created this guide to help timeshare owners make conscientious and informed decisions when they decide to end their timeshare ownership. Having been an executive in the timeshare exit industry since 2005, it has become abundantly clear to me that consumers, journalists, and even well-meaning consumer advocates struggle with the process of vetting timeshare exit companies and/or timeshare exit attorneys.
“Timeshare owners are never more vulnerable than when they’ve made the decision to end their timeshare ownership.”
Timeshare owners are never more vulnerable than when they’ve made the decision to end their timeshare ownership. The resale market is flooded, the resorts have stacked the deck, and con artists are waiting to take advantage of their situation. This is why reading this guide is so important to all timeshare owners—whether looking to exit your timeshare now or not. At some point, the life cycle of timeshare ownership will come full circle, and consumers need to know how to safely and responsibly exit their timeshare. This comprehensive Guide helps timeshare owners understand what to look for in hiring an ethical timeshare exit company and/or attorney. My experience has led me to believe that most exit companies prefer to keep their customers in the dark, but I want to shed light on the industry. In doing so, I would like to share with you insider knowledge of the timeshare exit industry in hopes that you will succeed in eliminating your timeshare ownership while avoiding some of the more common pitfalls.
