Still Happy With Your Timeshare?

We have read for the most part recently of the many customer complaints against timeshare. Facts and figures are there to stress the point. We have heard of big players in the industry halting timeshare developments primarily because they saw the lack of demand of such property in the economic downturn.

For a breath of fresh air, or to see the other side of the coin, let us visit how an online survey resulted more people are satisfied and even happy with having a timeshare. The study done this year had respondents coming from US alone. What resulted was different from the current trend. It showed that not at all are wishing to get rid of their timeshare and there are even more who wanted to purchase another timeshare.

In proving its validity, Interval International was the one conducting the survey among a sample of its US members derived from the database. There were no mentioned of how many percent of the total sample is from the total population. But what it did show is that Florida, California and Hawaii are the most popular destinations members said they wanted to visit within the next two years, with New York City the most popular urban destination. The survey is said to be an indication that the timeshare industry is recovering.

Another report pointing out towards the same timeshare industry’s recovery is released by Businesswire. Based on the report, the affirmation and Outlook revision by Starwood reflect the modestly improving recovery in lodging demand trends, Fitch's slightly improved macro-economic outlook over the past few months, management's continued efforts to support its balance sheet, the repositioning of its timeshare business, and the company's demonstrated willingness and ability to access the capital markets during difficult market conditions.

The report tells of how lower prices helped in improving the sales of timeshare. Starwood remains optimistic with this report stating how it was able to reduce its debt with $1 billion in 2009.

It is always a good thing to look at the two sides before formulating a judgment. It is up to you to judge which facts to believe in. In fact, it can be said that both sides can hold some truth to it. There are indeed people who still believed in timeshare but this does not dismiss the fact that there are numerous of people who want to get out of their timeshare properties.

History of Timeshare Relief

Timeshare Relief, Inc. had humble beginnings. It was started by two timeshare owners who had grown tired of the struggle to use their $17,000 timeshare. Cindy Martin and David Macmillan had purchased their timeshare to experience luxury resort vacations with their family. However, something came up when the difficulty of booking and scheduling proved overwhelming and stressful.

Since a lot of timeshare owners today are confused on the actual process of timeshare transfers, here is a quick definition for you. Timeshare transfer is literally the transfer of full timeshare ownership rights from one party to another. Owners should be aware that timeshare transfer enfolds a number of elements from timeshare brokerage to timeshare public auctions. Those timeshare owners who are having a difficult time in relieving the burden of their timeshare vacation packages may secure the services of timeshare transfer companies.

One of the most renowned companies which provide the service of the transfer industry is the Timeshare Relief Inc. As one of the pioneers of this type of business, the company has caused the term timeshare relief to generally mean as a form of service to help owners free themselves from their timeshare properties.

Timeshare Relief’s interests is to help distressed timeshare owners who have realized that only a small percentage of timeshares have ever been sold on the timeshare resale market but have a need to get rid of their unwanted timeshare burden. Being in the business for 5 years, over 20,000 timeshare owners have gained peace of mind with our services and no longer have to pay a maintenance fee or special assessment ever again.

Moreover, a reliable timeshare transfer company has a good rating in the Better Business Bureau along with documents and license guaranteed in writing. The best thing about it is that there is a transparency of the people running the company. They should exude confidence and pride about the service they provide. The kind of timeshare relief that a good timeshare transfer company gives must be rooted from a felt-need over the timeshare nightmare the owners have experienced. This will be their driving force to help them get rid of their timeshare.

Timeshare Relief just recently received an award for the second straight year as 2010 Best of Torrance Award by the U. S. Commerce Association (USCA).
