A couple of timeshare marketing companies exist to cater to the need of timeshare owners looking for easier ways to get rid of their timeshares. However, this industry is not safe from fraudulent companies and individuals who take advantage of the vulnerability of these problematic timeshare owners.
Timeshare marketing companies conduct their transactions by hiring telemarketers. These telemarketers call timeshare owners telling them the company has buyers for their timeshares. The desperate owners then signify their intent to sell their timeshares. And once they do so, the telemarketers will tell them to pay for the processing of the papers. If the company is legal, the said transaction will be completed. However, if the company is naturally fraudulent, the transaction stops the moment the timeshare owner pays for the supposed service.
One good example is that of the Creative Vacation Solutions. The company follows a similar process. Unfortunately, some timeshare owners discovered that their timeshares are still unsold as of the moment. That is why the company is now being investigated because of the possibility of fraud.
So how would a timeshare owner know that the company is legal? One of the best ways to do so would be to check on the Better Business Bureau for the standing of the company. If the company is recognized by BBB, they must have legal means of conducting transactions. Some of these companies may not be able to provide immediate timeshare relief but they are surely legal and will do all possible means to comply to their agreements with you.

Know the Worth of your Timeshare before Seeking Relief
Most of the times if we know the value we can get by disposing or owning a property, our decisions become clearer regarding that property. The same is true in maintaining a timeshare unit. Unfortunately, most owners neglect this very important part in owning a property. Most jump to the conclusion of seeking timeshare relief without enough evaluation.
After finally deciding to dispose your unit, the appropriate action is to set your timeshare selling price. Statistics show that average resale price of a timeshare falls within 25 to 50 percent below the price set by the developer. In general, despite this prevailing average price in the timeshare market, there are many factors that can contribute to the value of your timeshare. There is the week number, resort destination, the resort rating, amenities and the view in that particular unit. Knowing the competitive edge of your resort feature will add to the value of your unit.
By carefully building on these factors, you can negotiate with your potential buyer for a higher price relative to the average retail price in the market. Remember that in transactions like this, you need to know your assets. You have to build on wherever you are most competitive. In this way, your might end up getting a better deal.
Keep in mind that impulsive decisions, in most times, do not give you want you wanted. Instead it may add up to the headache you are feeling at the moment. But, once you knew what your timeshare is worth, then, and only then, you can get rid of your timeshare successfully.
