If you are going to get help with the task of leaving your timeshare, it’s important to make sure you get the right help. Simply hiring the first company to come along and offer their services isn’t a good approach. In fact, doing it that way could lead you to lose even more money and find yourself in a worse position than what you are in now.
So, on this page, I’d like to quickly go over the services that are offered by Jurado & Associates. This is one of the many businesses that might be able to help you leave your timeshare, but it’s up to you to educate yourself on what they offer and decide if their services are the right fit for your needs. Let’s get started!
A Simple Starting Point for Our Review
We can start our review process by visiting the Jurado & Associates website. And, at first glance, it’s an impressive site with a nice, modern design. Everything on the site is easy to find and there is plenty of content available to help you get familiar with the business.
One thing you will likely notice early on is that there are many other types of services offered by this practice. This is not a timeshare exit company – it’s a law firm that happens to offer help for individuals who want to get out of a timeshare. Whether you want to work with a specialist or a law firm with a wide range of capabilities is up to you, but it’s important to know who you are dealing with before getting started.
Speaking of knowing who you are working with, that’s another positive aspect of this site (and virtually every law firm site). You can click on the “Team” link in the header and learn more about the real people behind this firm. If you’ve been frustrated by other timeshare services that don’t put a name and face behind what they do, this will be a nice change. Romy Jurado is the lawyer who lends her name to the practice, and all of her credentials and qualifications are plainly laid out for you to review.
There is one other thing that I want to point out about this website – I like the content that is on the timeshare page. It speaks to the realities of leaving a timeshare and doesn’t give you a false sense of the situation. There are even links to Florida Statutes to help you understand the cooling-off, or recission, period that protects timeshare buyers immediately after they make a purchase. Based on what is on the website, there is every reason to believe this firm will take up your case with the intention of exiting the right way.
Past Clients Can Be a Guide
It’s always a good idea to read online reviews when looking for a company to help you with your timeshare exit. On that front, the reviews for Jurado & Associates look very good overall. With a solid score out of more than 60 reviews on Google, it’s clear that the practice has been able to satisfy clients and get satisfactory results.
The only issue with the reviews left for this firm is the same as with many other law firms that offer timeshare exit services – the reviews don’t necessarily have anything to do with leaving timeshares. Since the firm does many different things, you’ll see reviews from a range of clients who were dealing with many different types of situations. It’s great that those clients are happy, and that’s certainly a good sign, but it doesn’t necessarily speak to how this lawyer would perform in a timeshare case specifically.
Limited Options Exist to Leave a Timeshare
When you sign a contract, you are entering into a binding legal agreement. In the case of a timeshare contract, that agreement is perpetual and doesn’t come with that many ways to get out. This is why so many owners find themselves in a bind and unsure of what to do next. They didn’t think much about the strength of that contract at the start, and are just now realizing what kind of position they are in.
That doesn’t mean you are destined to be a timeshare owner forever, however. There are ways to get out, and the first is to simply reach out to the timeshare company directly and tell them that you want to leave. Many people overlook this simple step when they are frustrated about the ownership experience. They see the timeshare company as the enemy and don’t want to talk to them. That’s a mistake. Get in touch and explain your situation as soon as possible.
I should make it clear that the timeshare company might not end up helping you out in this situation. But give them a chance to make you an offer before you take any other steps. If they offer you the opportunity to just give back the timeshare and move on, take it and run. Even if they say they can’t help you, reach back out after some time has passed to see if the situation has changed.
You may also want to explore selling your timeshare. It’s possible to sell timeshares on the open market, so this is another path that might be able to get you out. There is certainly no guarantee of success here, but it’s worth a shot. Use some of the listing platforms online to post your timeshare and see if anyone comes by to make you an offer.
The Potential for More Financial Losses
I hate to say it, but your financial concerns regarding owning a timeshare aren’t over as soon as you turn to a timeshare exit company. In fact, if you pick the wrong company – and don’t proceed with caution – you could wind up making your problems worse.
The issue at hand here is that some players in this space aren’t really working with your best interests in mind. That’s not the case with every exit company, to be sure, but some are really only trying to make a quick buck. To make sure you aren’t taken advantage of along the way, opt to work with a company that will allow you to put your money in an escrow account while they work, rather than handing it all over right at the start.
Escrow is a smart step because it makes it possible for you to get your money back if things go wrong. Even if a company says they have a “100% Money-Back Guarantee”, or something like that, those words don’t mean much. How do you know they’ll honor that guarantee? It’s better to use something like an escrow account to put a barrier between the company and your money, so they need to deliver results before getting paid.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are plenty of questions throughout the timeshare industry. What there never seems to be enough of, however, is answers. I’d like to chip away at that problem one FAQ at a time. Please take a moment to check out the questions and answers below to add to your timeshare education.
Q: Why have timeshare exit services become so popular?
A: Timeshare exit services are seemingly everywhere these days because so many people want to get out of timeshares. It’s a simple matter of supply and demand. With many unhappy owners, there is a strong demand for expertise in this industry that can help owners successfully get out of their contracts and move on.
Q: Should every timeshare owner try to get out?
A: Not necessarily. Timeshare owners who are genuinely happy with their experience and feel that they are getting good value for their money might as well carry on. It’s a good idea, however, to periodically review your timeshare situation to determine if you want to keep moving forward or if you are ready to look for an exit.
Q: Is it possible to sell a timeshare?
A: Yes, it is possible – but not easy – to sell a timeshare. You have the legal right to sell your timeshare to another party, so that’s always an option to explore when wanting to exit. However, the market is notoriously slow in this area, as there aren’t nearly as many willing buyers as there are anxious sellers.
