When It Comes to Timeshare Contracts, Always Read the Fine Print

Timeshare sales pitches can be lengthy, grueling, and, ultimately, convincing, which means that most buyers usually fail to read the fine print of their contracts. We strongly advise against this hasty approach, as there are likely several items in your contract that are designed to limit your rights as a timeshare owner or even manipulate you into an arrangement that you didn’t even know you were agreeing to.

Perpetuity Clause
The majority of timeshare contracts have what is known as a perpetuity clause, which, in essence, means that in the event of the owner’s death, his or her children or next of kin will assume ownership of the property. Usually, timeshare salespeople will try to pass this off as a benefit ― that they are purchasing a piece of property that their loved ones will be able to enjoy for generations.

Of course, what they fail to mention is that the perpetuity clause locks in ownership whether your loved ones are interested in owning the property or not, whether they can use it or not, whether they can afford it or not. In short, a perpetuity clause could be an appreciated inheritance or it could be an unwanted burden. Be sure to discuss the matter with your entire family before making a decision that could impact their financial futures.

Fixed, Floating, and Rotating Weeks
Many new owners are under the impression that they will have the opportunity to use their new timeshare whenever they feel like it, but the reality is much more complicated. Depending on the resort and the language of the contract, there are typically three different usage options ― some of which might not fit your family’s travel plans:

1. Fixed: Occupancy is for the same week in the same unit every year. Obviously, certain weeks are more popular and attractive than others, so be sure that the price of the property reflects the desirability of the season at the resort’s location. For instance, generally speaking, January in Las Vegas is a very different experience than May in Las Vegas.

2. Flex/Floating: Occupancy is for a predetermined period of time, but the owner must contact the resort and reserve their timeslot. This can be an attractive option for many owners since they are not pinned down to a specified week year after year. However, all owners within your float period are also eligible to reserve that same timeslot, which could result in the owner forgoing their usage for that entire year if the float period is fully booked. Also, there might be blackout dates that are reserved for premium buyers and are not eligible to be reserved by owners. Further, many resorts require owners to prepay their maintenance fees in order to solidify their reservation.

3. Rotating: The rotating week system is similar to the fixed week system in that owners are assigned specific dates to be used on an annual basis. However, in this model, rather than those weeks repeating at the same time every year, they rotate during different seasons on an annual basis. Depending on how you and your family want to use your timeshare and your annual travel availability, the rotating model could be a blessing or a curse.

Fraudulent Inducement
Fraudulent inducement means to deceive someone into acting against their own interests regarding a property transaction. As the term relates to timeshares, it is only applicable if the owner is able to prove that the sales pitch was misleading and did not match the language of the contract signed.

While it’s true that many timeshare owners have experienced fraudulent inducement, leveraging that experience into a timeshare exit is very difficult, very risky, and could lead to substantial legal fees. The burden of proof is on the owner to show that he or she would not have purchased the property had the salesperson been forthright.

Many contracts include language that disclaim any statements or promises made during the sales pitch, which means that the owner is beholden to the written terms of the agreement and that the salespeople are not liable for any discrepancy between what they said and what is written into the terms of the contract itself. If the language of the sales presentation doesn’t match the language of the contract, walk away.

Research on Social Media Leads to Timeshare Freedom For Newton Group Transfers Customers

Michael S. and his wife purchased their timeshare in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. At the time of their purchase, it seemed like the ideal vacation option. They got great annual usage out of the property and enjoyed the rustic beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. Over time, they began to long for more flexibility in their annual vacation destinations, and they also made a conscious decision to cut their spending, limit their budget, and do their best to pay off their debt. As such, they resolved to end their timeshare ownership. Unfortunately, doing so was much more difficult than they anticipated…

Former Timeshare Owner Enthusiastically Endorses Newton Group Transfers

Glen W. is a former timeshare owner who was worried about the consequences of timeshare ownership for his children in the event of his death. Most timeshare contracts have a perpetuity clause, meaning that the property is deeded to the family indefinitely. For this reason, many timeshare owners feel a sense of urgency to sell their property when they no longer wish to use it. Unfortunately, the secondary market for timeshares is almost nonexistent, which makes timeshare transfer companies like Newton Group Transfers such a valuable commodity.

Glen and his wife enjoyed their timeshare for several years before they decided to seek out measures for a transition. “We owned a timeshare property in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee that we used for five years before health concerns caught up with us, leaving us unable to drive” said Glen. “Therefore, the timeshare became unusable for us. The only thing we did was pay the annual maintenance fees, which became larger and larger every year.” Because they were unable to use their timeshare, Glen and his wife asked their children if they would want to take on the responsibility. Unfortunately, no one in their family was willing to do so, which led them to search for a practical way of exiting their timeshare and transitioning into a financially liberated lifestyle. It was at this point that Newton Group Transfers came into the fold.

Glen and his wife were deeply concerned about their inability to end their timeshare ownership and grew increasingly worried about the money they were spending attempting to sell their property. They were fully aware of the barren secondary market, but they were naturally concerned with the steadily increasing maintenance fees attached to their timeshare. According to Glen, “The timeshare became a stone around our neck, and we didn’t want to drown.” This is a common sentiment expressed by many timeshare owners who are no longer reaping the benefits of their ownership – that their property has become an albatross of sorts that causes a level of anxiety that Newton Group Transfers specializes in alleviating.

Thankfully, Glen sought out Newton Group Transfers, and he and his wife were able to transition the deed out of their name and begin a new, timeshare-free lifestyle. “Newton Group Transfers did exactly what they said they would, they did it in the timeframe they said they would, and they took the timeshare off of our hands. For that, we will be eternally grateful,” said Glen.

Newton Group Transfers Assists Unsatisfied Timeshare Owners

Frank F. and his wife purchased their timeshare in Princeville, Hawaii ten years ago. They were overtaken by the beauty and splendor of the resort and were convinced that they would love making an annual trip to the jewel of the Pacific for the rest of their lives. Sadly, things didn’t turn out that way.

During their decade of ownership, Frank and his wife only actually used their timeshare week three times. Of course, the fact that Frank’s family usually chose not to vacation at their timeshare didn’t make them exempt from their annual maintenance fees. After several years of not taking advantage of their property, timeshare ownership simply didn’t make sense anymore. “We just got to the point where there wasn’t any point in keeping it anymore.” said Frank, “We knew we weren’t going to be using it again, so why keep paying the maintenance fees that just kept going up?”

This frustration led Frank and his wife to begin researching for a practical and effective timeshare exit solution. After looking into several different companies, they came away from their consultation with Newton Group Transfers impressed and optimistic. Their consumer advisor gave them a detailed outline of what their timeshare transfer plan would look like, as well as a general timeframe in which it would be completed, and the transition progressed seamlessly from there. Said Frank, “Everything was handled precisely and in a timely manner, and we’re very happy that we chose to work with Newton Group Transfers. They got us out from underneath the timeshare and everything went very smoothly.”

While it is true that timeshares are a financial liability with little to no value on the secondary market, many owners really enjoy their annual vacation and get good use out of their purchase. The intrinsic worth of a timeshare cannot be measured in dollars and cents. If timeshare owners enjoy their properties and visit them year in and year out, they’re usually quite satisfied with their ownership. However, when families are unable or unwilling to vacation at their timeshare destinations, their maintenance fees quickly go from a necessary evil to an insidious nuisance, causing them to sour on their ownership.

If you or someone you know owns a timeshare but no longer uses it on a regular basis, Newton Group Transfers can help. Our expert advisors specialize in turning a seemingly hopeless situation into a problem solved. Call (877) 354-4321 or visit our website today to experience the most trusted name in timeshare exit.

Newton Group Transfers Helps Families Transition from Timeshare Contracts

Timeshare maintenance fees can be confounding. Owners pay good money to ensure the upkeep of their property, but many times the results are sorely lacking, leaving them scratching their heads wondering what it is that they’re paying for. Tim H. is one such former timeshare owner who saw his resort fade into neglect as his maintenance fees and special assessments continued to rise.

Originally, he and his family really enjoyed their timeshare, but over time, things took a turn for the worse. The property that they had spent so much money to purchase and maintain slowly began to fade. According to Tim, “As time went by, they took away the ski resort. Then they took away the Youth Town for the kids.” As the resort sank further into a state of neglect, Tim’s fees continued to rise, which led him to do some research into a feasible route through which he could somehow unload his timeshare. To Tim’s credit, he conducted his due diligence and was both surprised and intrigued by the sterling reputation of Newton Group Transfers.

Newton Group Transfers Alleviates Timeshare Owner’s Apprehension

Terry E. and her family owned a few separate points-based timeshares that allowed them a degree of flexibility in exploring their vacation options, and they really enjoyed timeshare ownership for more than a decade. But eventually, the maintenance fees became overwhelming, and they began to look for a way out. Said Terry, “We had some really good vacations! We went to the Bahamas. We went to Las Vegas a couple of times. We went to Branson a couple of times. We just had some really, really great trips. But there comes a time when you’re paying out all these maintenance fees, and you could have a nice vacation without the timeshare.”

When timeshare owners have decided that they no longer want their property, their first move is usually to attempt to find a buyer. Unfortunately, the secondary market for these properties is alarmingly thin. Still, many listing agencies will insist that the market is hot and that potential buyers are lining up around the block to get their hands on a timeshare of their own. When owners attempt to go this route, they usually pay a variable fee for these companies to list their property on a website, but their hired hands usually do very little work in actually attempting to sell the property. Therefore, the timeshare remains in limbo while money continues to line the listing company’s inflated pockets. In the end, the only result is more frustration, leaving timeshare owners confused about how to proceed.

Once her family was ready to get rid of their ownership, Terry sent money to several different listing companies who ultimately failed to deliver on their promises. So after essentially throwing away significant amounts of money, she was naturally apprehensive when initially contacted by Newton Group Transfers. But after she and her husband spoke with one of our consumer advisor who detailed the timeshare transfer process, they decided to proceed with the transfer.

Terry says that Newton Group Transfers did a wonderful job updating her and her husband on the steps involved with the transfer as they progressed, which helped keep them composed and confident that everything was proceeding precisely as guaranteed. The end result was an affordable transfer in which Terry and her family became timeshare free, no longer having to stress about exorbitant maintenance fees on a piece of property that had once been an enjoyable vacation option but eventually became a burden.

Terry’s story is one that echoes throughout the timeshare industry. Newton Group Transfers understands the apprehension that comes along with attempting to transition out from underneath a timeshare. The fact is that several companies out there simply do not operate with the level of honesty and integrity that most of us are used to in our daily lives. Because of this, we go above and beyond to assure timeshare owners that we have their best interests in mind as we guide them through every step of the transfer process.

If you’ve reached the point where you know that you no longer want to own you timeshare but are at all nervous about who you can trust, research Newton Group Transfers. We have an excellent rating with the Better Business Bureau and have transferred thousands of timeshares. We also offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee as a testament to our commitment to our customers.

Newton Group Transfers Can Help You Eliminate Your Timeshare Ownership

As people age, they often begin to reexamine certain luxury items they’ve purchased in the past. For instance, many families purchase a timeshare when they are young and have a full house. Timeshares give families and couples a wonderful vacation option, and many people really enjoy their properties. Children especially enjoy the annual trip; it can be comforting for kids to know that they have a reliable home away from home during spring, summer, or winter breaks from school.

Regardless of the circumstance, timeshares usually treat people well, especially in the first several years of ownership, while the vacation property is still vibrant and unexplored. There are local sights to explore, slopes to ski, sandcastles to build, and restaurants to sample. And after a hard day of dining and playing, timeshares offer a beautiful home to return to in the evening. Eventually, however, children grow up, parents grow older, and many owners just don’t have the same opportunities or inclination to travel the way they used to. Of course, whether or not you are getting use out of your timeshare, the maintenance fees continue to rise, leaving many people scratching their heads about how transition into a new timeshare-free lifestyle.

Newton Group Transfers Can Help You Transfer Ownership of a Bequeathed Timeshare

Many people have fond memories of childhood vacations spent at a timeshare resort. Whether they were swimming, skiing, hiking, or just soaking up the sun in an exotic locale, they had a blast exploring a new part of the world. They enjoyed spending quality time with their families at a luxurious piece of property and going out to eat at fantastic restaurants serving world-class cuisine. Vacations are all about creating lasting memories, and for many people, their timeshares give them a great opportunity to do so.

These memories are important, but it’s also just as important to live in the present and recognize liabilities with diminishing value. Timeshares begin depreciating as soon as their purposed, and the secondary market for these properties is severely lacking. They’re very difficult to sell for any sort of real dollar value, and many people have even struggled to give them away online.

Many timeshare owners have in their contracts something that’s known as a “perpetuity clause.” This provision calls for the property to be bequeathed to their next of kin in the event of their passing. Unfortunately, no matter how much fun people may have had while vacationing at their parents’ timeshares as children, they do not want to assume ownership now that their folks have passed away. Maybe the maintenance fees are more than they can afford, or maybe the location no longer seems appealing, but the bottom line is that they do not want this property. Either way, children usually do not want to inherit these timeshares, just as their parents do not want to pass them on. Unfortunately, many individuals endure a lot of stress and financial hardship before they discover the most viable option: timeshare transfer.

Among these companies, Newton Group Transfers is the most trusted name in timeshare exit. Our knowledgeable staff members have nearly a decade’s worth of experience helping dissatisfied timeshare owners relieve themselves of the burden of ownership, and we reinforce our expertise with our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee to transfer your timeshare. We also have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau that we have earned through a lot of hard work and a commitment to our core principles.

Timeshare ownership can be a wonderful experience, but all good things eventually come to an end. If you’ve assumed ownership of a timeshare through a relative’s passing, or if you’re nervous about bequeathing your property to your children or next of kin, please give Newton Group Transfers a call today at (877) 354-4321 or visit our website to learn more and receive a free consultation!
