Buy My Timeshare

April 20, 2012 By

“How can I get someone to buy my timeshare?” This is a question we hear all the time. More people than ever are trying to get rid of their timeshares, which means there are a lot of people out there looking for the fastest and easiest ways to find people to buy timeshares. We know how that goes because we have been in your shoes and know first-hand how confusing and complicated selling your timeshare can be. That’s why created TimeshareSecrets.com – to help other owners find out the best ways to quickly and successfully get rid of their timeshares.

What makes finding someone to buy a timeshare so difficult is the saturated resale market. There are far more sellers than buyers, so it can be difficult to find people who are interested in buying your timeshare in a sea of similar properties. This makes marketing your property particularly important in order to get your timeshare seen by potential buyers. Asking fair market value, or even lower in some cases, is also a huge deciding factor in how easily you are able to find a buyer. However, it is important to understand that timeshares aren’t worth very much on the resale market, so you will probably only be able to sell your timeshare for a fraction of what you paid for it.

If you need help finding someone to buy your timeshare, you have come to the right place. Our timeshare resale specialists are experts in this resale industry and can help you determine the best way to get rid of your timeshare once and for all. The consultation is absolutely free and the professionals we recommend never charge upfront fees for their services, so there is no risk of time resale scams here.

Timeshare News – Timeshare Fraud Becoming Increasing Issue Overseas

March 30, 2012 By

For weeks now, we have been covering the news here in the United States as more and more states come forward to express their concerns about growing problems with timeshare resale scams. These frauds are quickly becoming the number one consumer complaint in the country, even nudging out insurance fraud and credit card fraud. But the United States aren’t the only ones dealing with these scams, as countries like Britain have reported an increase in these frauds over recent years.

Britain has such an issue with timeshare scams that one of the biggest frauds of all time, a Ponzi-like scheme where a man swindled millions out of thousands of victims who thought they were investing in timeshare properties, comes from the region. And in recent news, two British men are still awaiting trial in a large timeshare resale scam that landed one of them in a notorious Hungarian prison.

Timeshare resale scams overseas operate in much the same way as they do here in the United States. The schemers contact timeshare owners who are trying to sell their properties offering to help get rid of their timeshare quickly – all the owner has to do is pay upfront for the services. The fraudsters then either take the money and run or do very little to try to get the property sold, leaving the owner out potentially thousands of dollars and still in possession of their timeshare.

Whether you are trying to sell a timeshare in the United States or in any other country, it is vitally important that you know who you are working with. Research companies thoroughly to ensure you are working with reputable companies and never pay upfront fees for their services. Doing so will help you not only avoid scams, but also sell your timeshare quickly, safely, and with as little stress and hassle to you as possible.

March 26, 2012 By

For the last few weeks we have been keeping you updated on the growing problem timeshare resale scams are posing in this country. Texas and Florida have both reported skyrocketing reports of these frauds, and now it seems like you can add California to the list of states dealing with this problem. The California Department of Real Estate (DRE) recently issued a Consumer Alerts warning timeshare owners and sellers of the state’s growing issues with these fraudulent businesses. In this announcement, the DRE described the various types of scams, as well as ways to identify them and avoid becoming a victim.

Unfortunately, the rising timeshare resale fraud problem in California is just a snapshot of an overall issue in this country. For years the Better Business Bureau has warned consumers of these scams and has consistently ranked them high in their annual list of top consumer scams. However, last year was the first time that timeshare resale scams out ranked even insurance and credit card scams, making them one of the most common frauds in the country.

The reason that people keep falling victim to these scams is because they are constantly changing how they approach their victims. There are many different types of timeshare resale fraud, from promising that buyers are already interested in the property to outright lying about who they are to lure victims into a false sense of security. However, the end results remains the same – the owners pays the scammers hundreds, sometimes even thousands, of dollars in upfront fees only to never have their property sold and the money be gone for good.

The increase in these scams is one of many reasons to be on the defense when trying to sell your timeshare. These frauds have the potentially to financially devastate a family and can even do serious damage to your credit. Always do your research and only work with reputable professionals with a proven track record of getting rid of timeshares efficiently and never charge upfront fees.

Timeshare News – Timeshare Scams of All Types Continue to Snag New Victims According to Better Business Bureau

March 12, 2012 By

For some time now the Better Business Bureau has been trying to warn people about the dangers that timeshare scams can present. However, timeshare scams of all types – including sales scams, resale scams, and recovery scams – have been on a steady rise and now the BBB is trying harder than ever to educated buyers and owners of the dangers this industry can hold.

Timeshare sales scams, in which fraudulent companies offer timeshares for sale, have been around for a long time. Usually, the scammer offer a property for sale but require the buyer to pay what they consider to be closing costs or taxes before any contrast have been drafted and often disappear with several thousands of dollars of the victims money. Since these scams became so well-known and timeshare buyers became more wary of these situations, the scammers had to find another way to steal money from people. They then began targeting owners who had already been scammed, often by their own company, offering to help recover money lost in the original scam (for a hefty upfront fee, of course) only to once again pocket the money.

State legislatures, most recently in Florida, have begun drafting and passing laws that help protect timeshare owners and expose scams by requiring resale companies to disclose the terms of their agreement before a contract is signed, as well as provide contact information for any buyers they claim to have lined up for a property. It is a great sign that authorities are beginning to take the threat of timeshare fraud seriously, but for thousands of unfortunate owners it is too late.

However, despite the strides local governments and agencies like the BBB are taking to inform and protect timeshare owners, the only real way to avoid timeshare resale scams is to do your research and work with reputable companies to get rid of your timeshare, and never pay upfront fees in excess of $100 no matter what the company tells you.

People want to know why these fees are so high and how to avoid having to pay these fees when they sell their timeshare. But many timeshare owners would be shocked to find out that upfront fees are NOT a normal part of the resale process and that they absolutely can get rid of their property without paying these outrageous fees.

It is very important for timeshare owners who are trying to sell their properties to understand that all timeshare resale companies do not charge upfront fees for their services. In fact, any company that does want you to pay upfront should be avoided at all costs! This can be a sign of a timeshare resale scam and you do not want to be involved with these fraudulent “companies”.

That’s not to say, however, that fees aren’t normal. However, these should never be in excess of $100 and you should know exactly what these fees are for before hands. Timeshare resale scams often claim to require fees for “administrative fees” that can range into the thousands of dollars. They may also claim that a portion of the money will be returned to you once the timeshare sells, but this is rarely the case.

Even though timeshare resale scams are common and can be difficult to identify and turn down without property knowledge and research, you don’t have to be a victim! Here at TimeshareSecrets.com we provide a free consultation to help you learn how to safely and successfully get rid of your timeshare.
