If you’ve read this blog for any reasonable amount of time, you know that it is rather critical of timeshare contracts and the timeshare resales market. But, we hope our readers understand that we understand that there are timeshare owners who love their timeshares and we fully support them in their ownership.
While maintenance fees are low and owners are young enough to enjoy their timeshares on a regular basis, it can be a wonderful experience. There’s a certain status of luxury living that goes along with timeshares, and sharing it with family and friends can form some lasting vacation memories.
In fact, I’m going to a timeshare in Palms Spring this year with friends who own there. I’m sure we’re going to have a fantastic time, and I’m not going to complain being able to hang out with good company, eating good food and wine, and having a good time.
Would my friends been able to afford a downpayment on a luxury vacation condo or home? Probably not. They purchased a timeshare instead. Do I hound them with everything I know about timeshares? No, I hate being a wet blanket, but we have had discussions.
I’m just glad that they know what they’ve bought into. They understand that their maintenance fees will go up, that they will pay special assessments, and that the timeshare resales market is difficult. But, they are a little more care free knowing that Timeshare Relief is around when the time comes to get rid of the timeshare.
