When you want to cancel a timeshare, the first step is to work on it by yourself. There are some steps you can take – which we will discuss later on this page – that don’t require any help to explore. Then, if those are unsuccessful, you will likely move on to working with a partner who has expertise in this space.
One such potential partner is Cancel Timeshare Geek. This is a service, like many others out there, that is designed to help you move on from a timeshare that you no longer wish to own. On this page, I’ll take some time to go over what is offered by Cancel Timeshare Geek so you can decide if they will be the right option for your needs.
See What Their Site Says
Let’s start checking out Cancel Timeshare Geek by heading to their website to see what it says about the service. You’ll notice quite quickly that this isn’t so much of an exit company as it is a referral service that is going to point you in another direction. You can tell this is the case because the home page highlights the “Top 3 Timeshare Exit Companies”, at least in the eyes of the company.
At the top of the page, there is a quiz you can work through to determine your eligibility to work with a timeshare exit company. There is also a list of questions that you might want to ask in this process and some advice for what you should look for in the right exit partner.
One of the things I like about the site is the honest information that is provided about the timeshare industry. The content doesn’t pull any punches and it talks about some of the lies that are commonly told by salespeople in this business. Also, if you visit the About page, you will see a picture and a name, which is more than many of the businesses in this space are willing to offer. There is also a story about how the owner of Cancel Timeshare Geek – Matthew Lee – purchased a timeshare himself and came to regret that purchase.
Reviews Offer Excellent Insight
I usually like to check our reviews for timeshare exit companies to see how other people have fared when using a given service. However, in this case, I can’t find anything on the web about Cancel Timeshare Geek. This is likely because the business is more of a referral service than it is an actual exit company. While it’s a good sign that there aren’t any negative reviews, you also won’t see anything that speaks to what the business offers or how it was able to help timeshare owners reach their goal of getting out.
Ultimately, it’s hard to see what value you would get by working with Cancel Timeshare Geek rather than just continuing to explore the market for the right service for your needs. There are many different timeshare exit companies profiled here on our site that will be able to serve you, and you can read reviews on those various businesses in different places online.
This isn’t to say that there is anything wrong with what Cancel Timeshare Geek is doing, it’s just that you don’t necessarily need their service to make progress toward getting out of your timeshare. You are already on the right path by picking up information and exploring your possibilities, so keep doing that and you should be able to pick out a qualified partner soon enough.
It does need to be said that these reviews are not necessarily based on timeshare exit services. In fact, most of them aren’t. Instead, they have been left based on the other services that Resolve Law Group provides. However, that doesn’t mean you need to throw out the reviews entirely. They are still useful to learn from, and you can take confidence from the fact that most of the clients who work with this law group are satisfied with their services.
Leaving a Timeshare is Simple – But Difficult
The ironic thing about getting out of your timeshare is that it’s not particularly complicated – there aren’t that many options to exit. So, if it’s simple, it should be easy, right? Not at all. The devil is in the details, and many people know first-hand just how hard it can be to get out of a timeshare contract. In fact, you might be on this page because you’ve already learned this lesson and are trying to move on in any way possible.
One of the first things to know about getting out of a timeshare is that you might be able to work with the developer to make it happen. If you contact them directly – whether over the phone or by email – explain your situation and ask what they can do for people in your place. You won’t be the first to ask about leaving, that’s for sure. If you get particularly lucky, they might have a program available where they take back deeds from owners so they can sell them to new buyers. Don’t pass on this opportunity to walk away cleanly and move on.
What if they don’t have such a program and tell you that you are stuck with the contract? At that point, it would be worth listing the timeshare for sale to see if anyone wants to buy it. The market for timeshares is tepid at best, but that doesn’t mean that such a sale is impossible. It won’t take you long to list your timeshare on a few different platforms and you can then wait to see if a buyer comes along with serious interest. Of course, you can proceed with other methods of trying to get out of the timeshare while it is listed, as there is a good chance that your listing won’t end up leading to a sale.
Please Don’t Risk a Single Dollar
It’s a sad reality of timeshares that many people wind up wasting even more money as they try to leave the contract that they have been stuck with for years. As you move forward with trying to exit your timeshare, always play it safe and do what you can to avoid falling victim to an exit company that really isn’t going to deliver you anything in the end.
The best way to protect yourself is to insist on the use of an escrow account to manage this transaction. At the start of your agreement with the exit company, you put the money for the work into escrow and it is held between the two parties. Then, the exit company starts working on the project, and you only agree to release the funds once you are actually out of the timeshare.
This is a fair arrangement because the exit company can see that you have put forward the money for their time and effort, so they aren’t going to be left holding the bag. At the same time, you don’t have to just trust that they are going to deliver, and you’ll have recourse if they can’t get you out as promised.
Frequently Asked Questions
I know you would like to learn as much as possible about how to exit a timeshare, and I’m here to help with that pursuit. Check out these FAQs to keep learning as much as possible about the whole process.
Q: Can I negotiate a settlement with my timeshare company?
A: Anything can be negotiated, so there’s no reason not to reach out and ask what might be possible. There is no guarantee that they will be willing to negotiate, or that they will offer you a fair deal, but you have nothing to lose from asking.
Q: How do I find out if my timeshare has a buyback option?
A: Simply reach out to your timeshare developer directly to ask about their buyback program. They might be willing to take back your timeshare so they can sell it to someone else, or they might not be interested in offering you such a deal. Either way, you’ll know more after you reach out and you can plan your next steps accordingly.
Q: Is it possible to donate my timeshare instead of paying to exit?
A: Yes, it is possible to donate a timeshare, but it’s not always easy. Any party that you might donate to, such as a charity, is going to be concerned about the ongoing costs of owning that timeshare. So, feel free to explore this possibility as a way to leave the timeshare, but don’t have your hopes up too high that it will work out in the end.
