Transfer Smart News: Condo Owners in Biloxi Convert their Units into Timeshares

As the economic meltdown broke out in the late 2007, almost all industries were affected by this severely. One of these industries is the accommodation industry which includes hotels, motels, timeshares and other lodging services. In the timeshare industry alone, many owners try to get out of their timeshares due to its increasing costs and the corresponding sales also are very low. But as the aftermath of the crisis continue to affect everyone else, some people manage to innovate some things in order to withstand this condition. In Biloxi, a city in Harrison County, Mississippi, as the current condo sales and rentals are so slow, the owners at The Villas at Ocean Club are considering timesharing as a way to keep their units and make up for the loss of their investment.

On the other hand, the Biloxi Planning Commission agreed for the proposal to change the use of the beach front tower from condominiums to timeshare units. According to Attorney Michael Cavanaugh, there won’t be any structural changes to the building and those property owners who want to stay in the building don’t have to join the plan to partner with Interval International to market and manage the units. He also added that the condo market has tanked in this area and may not be coming back anytime in the foreseeable future.

As one of the owners testified, converting to timeshare would almost double the value of their condo units and the timeshare company would pay for some of the maintenance and repairs at the property. However, the conversion of the said condo units to timeshares might be a good innovation for the condo owners in Biloxi but potential timeshare owners must also be warned of the financial responsibilities of timesharing. As a matter of fact, many owners nowadays are trying to get rid of their timeshares while some even hire a timeshare transfer company such as the Transfer Smart just to get rid of such property.

Be Smart, Be Aware of Timeshare Sales Laws

A timeshare purchase is not an ordinary purchase that you can just take for granted. It involves a considerable amount of money and also of financial responsibility. Once you realized you have a mistake in your decision to purchase, it is not that easy to get out from your timeshare contract. So, take a careful planning and gather enough information about timeshare if you intend to own one. Meanwhile, some of the aspects that you have to be aware of when you own a timeshare are the laws regarding timeshare sale.

First, be informed that almost all states in US have a rule of rescission. This is the time period in which the buyer can change his mind and cancel the sales contract without forfeiting any money.

Also, some states like Florida have timeshare laws that may give a deed purchaser some overall insight into the types of laws that surround sale of timeshare property. To be sure, check with the particular state regulating agencies where the timeshare property is located for more complete information.

Another law to be aware of is the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act. This act was designed to protect consumers from fraud and abuse in the sale or lease of land.

Be smart if you plan to buy a timeshare and be aware of those points mentioned above. Do not be like those other timeshare owners who are now trying to get rid of their timeshares because of unplanned and uninformed purchase. Some of these owners even hire a timeshare transfer company such as the Transfer Smart. Moreover, it is also advised to not sign a contract with a timeshare reseller until you have all of the written contract details in hand to review ahead of time and preferably with an attorney.

Transfer Smart News: Nomadic Travellers Opt for Destination Clubs than Timeshares

Before, timeshare ownership was regarded by many as the ultimate way for a great vacation. However, as several who are trying to get out of their timeshares testified, there are a number of disadvantages with this kind of vacationing. But seeing the vacation business as a multi-billion dollar industry, there are always new alternatives and concepts coming out. One of these latest concepts is the destinations club memberships.

According to the travel industry experts, there’s an estimate of 6,500 people that belong to destinations clubs. With an initial fee ranging from $70,000 to 450,000, annual dues and a minimal charge per night, the destination club members can already access to homes dotted around the world for a limited numbers of days each year. In contrast to timeshares in which investors buy set times at a resort each year, destination clubs are similar to country club membership.

According to Rich Keith, co-CEO of Ultimate Escapes, the first publicly owned and publicly traded destination club, destination club membership is a nomadic traveller’s product. The number one driver for these offers is its ability to have a sense of wanderlust and be nomadic. Keith also believes that even in the U.S. and Canada, the expansion potential is enormous and the current members represent only a tiny fraction of the potential market.

Today, there are thousands of owners who are trying to get rid of their timeshares. Some of them even hire a timeshare transfer company such as the Transfer Smart just to get rid of it. On the other hand, destination club membership is well-received by a lot of consumers as a great alternative to timeshares. However, some critics warn that destination clubs are not without risk and the industry is self-regulated. There have also been bankruptcies and law suits filed against clubs.

Transfer Smart News: Awareness on Timesharing Still Growing

Primarily, the concept of timesharing was born due to its ability to cut vacation costs and make it affordable for the average consumers. However, this is not the case today. Many owners nowadays are having difficulties coping up with those annual fees and thus, want to get out of their timeshare contracts. Upon weighing this type of vacationing, there are a number of advantages and disadvantages that you can possibly cite. But what is clear today is that timesharing have become a trend and is gaining popularity for many people. As a matter of fact, a new survey has found that awareness of the different forms of timesharing continues to grow among Americans despite the difficult economic conditions.

The Ypartnership 2009 National Leisure Travel Monitor, who conducted the poll have found out that nine out of 10 travellers are now familiar with the concept of timesharing. According to Peter C. Yesawich, chairman of Ypartnership, the study's results reaffirm the inherent appeal of vacation ownership as both a desirable alternative to conventional lodging and a terrific value relative to its cost. The survey also revealed that the American travellers continue to view timesharing as a desirable alternative to conventional vacation accommodations such as traditional hotels and resorts while 15% reported owning vacation time.

Since the economic downturn broke out in the late of 1997, the timeshare industry is reaping a negative image from most consumers. The recent crisis also made most owners want to get rid of their timeshares due to increasing fees. Some of these owners even hire a timeshare transfer company such as the Transfer Smart just to get rid of such property. But despite these, timesharing is still viewed by many as a great to vacation. And given preferable economic conditions, many consumers would still opt for this form of vacationing.

Pondering Smartly the Negative Effects of the Changes in Timeshare Industry

Currently, almost everyone is already warned or aware of the disadvantages of owning a timeshare. Seeing cases of owners who are trying to get out from their timeshares is enough for a warning for most consumers. However, as the timeshare industry is considered very dynamic, there are changes every now and then. What’s frustrating is that these changes made things very difficult for timeshare owners.

Today, many timeshare owners have been frustrated with the results of their timeshare ownership. A lot has already changed in the industry since the day of their purchase. If before, timeshares sound like an investment today it is not the case at all as such property is very hard it is to sell contrary to what their salesperson had told them before.

Another big change in this industry is the availability of travel through other means. With the advent of the internet, a lot have changed in the travel industry. It was said that one had to be a timeshare owner to be able to stay at a timeshare resort. Today, that is no longer true. Alternatives for this includes renting, vacation club membership or even through trial vacations.

One important change to consider when buying a timeshare that can be discouraging to any consumer is the maintenance fees. Owners are billed every year for their yearly dues. These fees generally increase tremendously every year. These ever-increasing bills continue to rise for most resorts until the owners pay beyond its worth.

Nowadays, many owners want to get rid of their timeshares. Some of these owners even hire a timeshare transfer company such as the Transfer Smart just to get rid of such property. By citing the changes in the timeshare industry, it might help inform the owners or potential owners about the possible effects of these in their ownership.

Rating a Timeshare Resort Smartly

Timeshares can be a significant purchase for many people. In many cases, a timeshare resort can exceed your expectations. On the other hand, they may fall short of standards that made the owners want to get out from their timeshare contracts. By rating a timeshare resort smartly, you can inform the other prospective buyers which resorts to go for, and which must be avoided.

You may begin by making a list of what you expect from your timeshare based on the materials you have read. By clearly defining your expectations, it will help rate this timeshare later. If something pops into your head as you visit your timeshare, scratch it down in your list. Then, review your list. As you drive home, consult your family and friends who were on the trip and determine what met their expectations, what impressed them and what disappointed them. Lastly, you can use your notes to rate your timeshare resort. Your rating can be a scale of one to five stars or a scale of one to 10.

Each timeshare have each its pros and cons. But as what it appears these days, the disadvantages outnumber the advantages in owning a timeshare especially in this down economy. As a result, many owners want to get rid of their timeshares. Some even hire a timeshare transfer company such as the Transfer Smart just to get rid of such property. But by rating your timeshare, you can warn and inform other potential owners that might be your friends, family members or anyone that you encounter along the way regarding the ups and downs of your timeshare resort. In this way, you can help them optimize if ever they’ll buy a unit in the same timeshare resort as yours.
