Although there are certainly timeshare opportunities out there that are completely above-board, unfortunately, the timeshare industry is widely known for its less-than-stellar reputation when it comes to the integrity of the buy-in process. Timeshare companies dangle incredibly flashy items and experiences in order to get you in the door to hear their presentation. Once the presentation begins, they are often experts at making you feel trapped to buy in on a deal or lose the opportunity forever. The industry is riddled with experiences like this that leave many people with a timeshare that they are now financially committed to, yet never fully understood the exact price tag attached to that commitment.

How Timeshare Companies Try to Keep You Locked in

It isn’t uncommon for timeshare companies to offer things like a cruise, an exceptionally nice car, season tickets, jewelry, or numerous other items in exchange for sitting through a “short” presentation at no cost to you. It likely seems too good to pass up. You may tell yourself that you’ll just sit through the “short” presentation and see if you win a cruise before walking out the door. These flashy items are called “tactics” to get you in the door and once you’re in, some timeshare companies are masters at putting the pressure on to slowly make you feel like you are sitting in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will slip away if you don’t make a financial commitment immediately.

Typically, the second you walk out the door after signing up for a timeshare, your mind begins racing as you realize the long-term financial commitment you just made. You may be peppering yourself with questions, all while attempting to think of the positives of having access to a luxe timeshare and assuring yourself you made the right choice. As the years go on, maintenance and mortgage fees slowly climb. Your timeshare isn’t available when you’d like to use it or worse, the unit you arrive at isn’t the same one you signed off on in the presentation. You may also find yourself unable to sell. Many people have found that they couldn’t even sell their timeshare on eBay for $1, as no one wanted to commit to rising maintenance fees. This is when the Resort Legal Team comes in.

How Resort Legal Team Can Help

Resort Legal Team specializes in helping people just like you exit their timeshare commitments. Many people are unaware of the various ways that timeshare companies can commit what accounts to fraud while they are in the initial process of selling you on their properties. For example, the presentation may go far over the “short” period of time that you were initially promised it would last. It isn’t uncommon for people to be told they were attending a 1-hour presentation and find themselves in a high-pressure sales situation that lasts a good part of the entire day. Additionally, many companies don’t offer any breaks for private discussion or to do research, always saying that if you don’t sign up immediately, the offer will be gone forever.

All of these issues are perfect examples of why more and more people are turning to Resort Legal Team to exit their timeshare commitments. It can be a very tough process to navigate, as timeshare companies have a full legal team behind them. However, working with a legal company that specializes solely in focusing on helping people exit timeshares is the best way to turn the tables and prevent further commitment and further money loss.
