Most things that you own are easy enough to sell. Have a car that you no longer want? Someone will buy it. The same goes for a house, a boat, or just about anything else. The beauty of being an owner of a given item is that you have the right to sell it when you so choose.
Timeshares are different. While you do have the right to sell your timeshare, you might not have the ability. In other words, you could struggle to find a buyer, leaving you stuck as an owner and dealing with the costs that come along with it. So, what do you do?
More and more people are turning to companies that specialize in helping people leave timeshares, such as Sell Any Timeshare. On this page, we’ll look at this service to determine whether or not it is worth your attention. Let’s get started!
A Review of Their Website
You always want to know what a company says about itself before you go too much further and try to figure out if it can really deliver on those promises. So, as a starting point, let’s review the website that represents Sell Any Timeshare. We’ll see what they have to say about their services to gain an understanding of who this might be for.
To start, the website attempts to build some trust by adding a number of different logos from various timeshare companies near the top of the page. That might look good from a design perspective, but it doesn’t really mean anything. There is nothing to say or prove that if you have one of those timeshares you’ll be able to get out of the contract just by working with Sell Any Timeshare.
Going down to the “Why Choose Us?” section is also a bit disappointing. These points look good enough when you scan them, but they don’t really have any teeth upon closer inspection. The information here is pretty generic overall, and despite making bold claims about the ability to transfer ownership of any timeshare, it’s not exactly clear how that will happen or why you should be so sure that they are going to get the job done.
Overall, it would be hard to see what it is about this website that would make you want to reach out and learn more. There are plenty of other timeshare exit options out there that are willing to share more about who they are and how they work to settle for this choice.
Social Proof is a Powerful Tool
It’s always great to get social proof for a business in the form of online reviews, but you might be largely out of luck on that front with Sell Any Timeshare. In searching the web, I’ve struggled to find anything meaningful that would point to the abilities of this company to deliver results.
Part of that problem might be the generic name of the company. If you search “Sell Any Timeshare”, you’ll get a variety of results that have nothing to do with this business. It’s probably better to find no reviews at all than a long list of terrible reviews, but there still isn’t much to go on. In the absence of some helpful social proof, you’ll need to just lean on your own intuition and the feeling you get from discussing this situation with the company, if you get to that point.
When Leaving a Timeshare, Remember These Tips
Most people tend to make leaving a timeshare more complicated than it needs to be. That doesn’t mean that it is easy or simple, of course, but it doesn’t have to be complex.
As a starting point, please do what you can to keep your timeshare current in terms of payments. Falling behind on the account is only going to make your life more difficult in this process. Some so-called experts may tell you to stop paying, but they are wrong.
With your account current, start the exit process with a simple phone call to the timeshare to express your desire to leave. This is a scary call for some people, as they feel like the timeshare will be upset or difficult to work with. They might not be particularly helpful, but you’ll never know until you reach out. In some cases, there might be an active “deed back” program that will allow you to give back the ownership stake you have in the timeshare and just walk away. That would be an excellent outcome if it did come to pass.
Even better than giving back your timeshare would be not having to officially take ownership in the first place. This is sometimes possible through the recission period that exists after you sign on the dotted line. Each state or country sets its own period, but it’s usually somewhere from five to ten days. If you have only been a timeshare owner for that long, check on how you can cancel your purchase legally and get out of the deal before it’s too late.
Then there is the matter of trying to sell a timeshare. Without a doubt, this is the most appealing option of all, because it makes it seem like you might be able to get some money back out of this deal. That’s probably not going to be how it works out, however. Most likely, even if you sold the timeshare, it would be for very little money – perhaps even a dollar. Any kind of sale would be a win, and if you are lucky enough to get an offer from an upfront buyer who will do everything legally to take ownership of the timeshare, you should probably take the deal.
Here is My Number One Tip for Using an Exit Company
I talk to a lot of people about timeshares. Unfortunately, most of their experiences have been negative, which is why we end up talking in the first place. I’m often asked for advice, and while I can’t enable people to go back in time and not purchase their timeshare in the first place, I can help them avoid losing more money – and that’s by always encouraging the use of escrow when teaming up with a timeshare exit company.
The use of escrow is important because it gives you a layer of protection that you wouldn’t have otherwise. Here’s the thing – even if an exit company says they will give your money back if they don’t get the job done, you don’t really have much recourse on that point. You can ask for the money back, but what if they say no? Or just disappear altogether? You’ll pretty much be stuck, and the money will be gone.
Things go a little differently with escrow. When you put the money in escrow, the exit company won’t have access to it right away, meaning they’ll have to actually do their job before getting paid. If your timeshare contract is not successfully ended, you won’t approve the money to be released. Please take this step and keep yourself safe throughout this process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Learning as much as you can about exiting a timeshare is one of the big steps toward moving on from this part of your life. Here are a few FAQs to give you even more insight.
Q: Is a lawyer required to exit a timeshare?
A: Not necessarily, although the use of a lawyer can help in some cases. Many timeshare exit companies will use lawyers as part of their process, or the exit company might actually be its own law firm.
Q: Are there hidden fees when working with an exit company?
A: It’s always possible for extra fees to be hidden in a contract when working with any company. Get everything in writing upfront and take the time to review what you are agreeing to before moving forward.
Q: How long should I expect this process to last?
A: The reality is that you really don’t know how long it is going to take to exit a timeshare until you get into it and see what happens. Don’t let that unknown stop you from getting started – the sooner you put things in motion, the sooner you’ll be free from the timeshare life.
