MoneyTalksNews - Exiting A Timeshare

September 3, 2016

It's not new news....exiting a time-share is tricky business, is not easy to do, takes time to accomplish and sometimes risky. Stacey Johnson started Money Talks News in 1991. It is a "personal finance TV news feature that airs within the local news of about 80 network affiliates nationwide as well as on major websites including MSN, Yahoo, and of course, this one (MoneyTalksNews.com)!" Mr. Johnson was asked by a member of his audience "How Can I Get Out of My Time-Share Without Being Robbed?". You can read his answer by tapping the following link: http://www.moneytalksnews.com/ask-stacy-how-can-get-out-time-share-without-being-robbed/

First of all, in general, Mr. Johnson is not a big fan of time-shares for many reasons:
He states "recovering even a fraction of your money when selling a time-share can be nearly impossible." The reasons for this include:
If you do want to sell your time-share interest, Mr. Johnson offers these sites to examine:
He offers a good article on the Timeshare Users Group called - How to Sell Your Time-Share. It is definitely a good article to read, even before you buy a time-share.

Our takeaway from Mr. Johnson's article is the following:
Change is the only constant at the Vidanta properties and in our lives for that matter.

Although Mr. Johnson admits he is not very high on buying time-share interests, we feel comforted that our purchases from Grupo Vidanta have exceeded our expectations. Use of the facilities is always looked forward to by ourselves, our children and grand children. We have never expected a return of our money through the sale of our contracts. Finally, if we do not use our weeks, there is no penalty or requirement to "catch up" in order to return to using our weeks again.
Time-shares are another form of ownership. Buying them requires the same thought and consideration that one gives to buying any asset that is held for a long term. Use generates the highest value to the buyer. Enjoy to the fullest extent possible to gain maximum value....Cheers!
