The fact that the timeshare exit industry exists at all should tell you everything you need to know about the experience of timeshare owners. Countless people want to get out and are having a hard time doing so. If you count yourself among that crowd, turning to a service like TimeshareRelief.com might be the right move.
But out of the many services that are available, is this the right one for you? That’s the question we will attempt to answer on this page. I’ll offer my perspective and hopefully help you make a choice that can eventually lead to making your timeshare a thing of the past.
Let’s Start with a Look at Their Website
The name of this exit service – TimeshareRelief.com – highlights the fact that they offer a website where you can learn more about the service. So, I think that’s the only logical place to start with this whole process. Let’s explore what they have to say about themselves on the site and then we can move on to see what others might be talking about with regard to this service.
When you first load the website for this business, you might feel like you have gone back in time. The design of the website isn’t great, and it looks like it comes from a previous era on the web. With that said, there is a little bit of information worth digging into within the copy.
Specifically, one thing I don’t see often on timeshare exit websites is the naming of an agency that will handle the closing process for your transaction when you leave the timeshare. The site highlights Timeshare Closings Services, Inc. or Orlando as the partner they use to make sure the closing is handled properly, and any future liabilities will be released. Having this small detail doesn’t mean you should automatically trust the business, but it’s something that isn’t usually shared publicly.
The copy on the page also highlights the importance of building relationships with their customers, but that’s something that is highlighted by virtually every business. It doesn’t mean much, although they do say that they’ve been in business for three decades. The About Page states that the business has a legal team in-house and they highlight the fact that they don’t use some of the aggressive selling techniques that are employed by others in this industry.
Trying to Find Third-Party Reviews
If you’d like to find some reviews to read about the performance of TimeshareRelief.com for its past customers, I wish you luck – because I’ve struggled to find anything of substance about the company around the web. There are a variety of businesses with the words “Timeshare” and “Relief” in the title, although the website TimeshareRelief.com claims at the top that it is not associated with those businesses in California.
In the end, it is hard to know where to land with this one. What is written on the website can sound appealing in terms of the many years of experience and the way they work with a specific agency to close transactions. At the same time, there are just too many unknowns, and too little in the way of social proof, to feel very confident about what the company would be able to deliver. If you need a timeshare exit company that you can be sure won’t let you down, it’s probably better to go with a name that has been well-established in the industry and is trusted to get results.
This is How You Leave a Timeshare Properly
I certainly understand the frustration of wanting to get out of your timeshare right away. Being an owner is very expensive and you probably aren’t getting nearly as much use or enjoyment out of the experience as you expected.
So, does that mean you should just stop making your payments and hope this problem will go away? Definitely not. That’s not going to solve anything. In fact, it will make matters worse. Keep making your payments to the best of your ability and find other solutions to move on.
The first step in this process is typically to contact the timeshare directly. You could reach out through their website or take the traditional approach of picking up the phone and making a call. Basically, you want to communicate the fact that you’d like to leave the timeshare and ask what the options are. They might tell you that there is nothing they can do. Or, they might explain that they have a program available to take back deeds from owners who want to leave. Either way, it’s worth your time to reach out and get the process started this way.
Where do you turn if they say there is nothing they can do? The next step is often to list the timeshare for sale and hope that someone is interested. There are tons of timeshares for sale, unfortunately, so you may find that no one wants to buy yours and you’ll have to keep exploring other paths. It’s pretty easy to put up a listing on a timeshare marketplace, however, so you might as well go ahead with this process and basically hope that you get lucky to receive an offer.
It’s when you have worked through these options that you’ll arrive at the point of using an exit company. There is nothing wrong with using an exit company per se, but this path lands at the bottom of the list simply because it isn’t free. You’ll have to spend money to work on getting out when you partner with an exit company, but that’s an investment that might start to feel like it is worth it in the long run. As compared to the reality of continuing to pay your maintenance fees and any assessments for years to come, the idea of spending money once on the services of an exit company looks more appealing.
My Biggest Rule for Timeshare Exit Customers
There is a lot to like about working with a good timeshare exit company. But they aren’t all good. I’ve seen the reality of this industry and the fact is that some people don’t get fair value for what they pay for while trying to leave a timeshare once and for all. If you are going to be using a timeshare exit company – whether it is this one or any of the others – I want you to play things safe and be conservative with your money.
What does that mean? Specifically, it means not allowing an exit company to have direct access to your funds when they are just getting started on the process of trying to get you out of your timeshare. Sending over money and then just hoping to get results is a recipe for disaster. Some companies might deliver in that situation, whereas others may just disappear and never be heard from again.
Insist on the use of escrow to protect your interests in this matter. With escrow, you’ll know that your money is being held and won’t be released to the other party until you approve it. This gives the exit company motivation to actually do their job and get results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What else is there to know about leaving a timeshare successfully with the help of an exit company? Plenty, and some of the knowledge I’ve collected is shared in these FAQs.
Q: Am I eligible to use a timeshare exit service?
A: There are really no eligibility requirements involved, other than owning a timeshare, of course. However, some exit companies will have a screening process to decide who they are going to work with, so it’s possible that some of the options you find won’t be willing to take on your case.
Q: Does leaving a timeshare have to take a long time?
A: Not necessarily, but it can. In some cases, you’ll be able to get out of your timeshare quite quickly, and you should consider yourself lucky if that occurs. Otherwise, it’s important to be patient and stick to the plan you have in place until it finally pays off.
Q: Will I be updated on progress by my timeshare exit service?
A: You should be. One of the things that good timeshare exit services do is keep their customers up-to-date regarding how things are going, what process has been made so far, and what they expect to happen next.
