If you’ve followed Paradise Timeshare Resale for any amount of time you’ve read all about our deals on timeshare resales for only $1. It was very interesting to catch a recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle’s online newspaper, sfgate.com, in which they wrote about these deals as well.  What was even more interesting is that they referenced Paradise Timeshare Resale’s offers!   We had seen an increased interest in $1 listings and were wondering why the sparked interest all of a sudden.  After researching we found that people came to our website through the Chronicle’s article.

As always, we have the best deals on timeshare resales. Not all are for $1 but you can find many at 50-75% less than owners originally paid.  Contact us today to find a great deal.

Paradise Timeshare Resale just got back from attending ARDA World at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas from April 1^st-April 5^th.  The convention was packed with useful information including the announcement of ARDA–ROC’s new Timeshare Resale Resource Center.  The bottom line – NEVER PAY UPFRONT FEES and always use a licensed timeshare resale broker.

In this economy, many people have found themselves in a financial predicament.  Most concern themselves with money matters for their everyday lives so financing vacations and timeshares take a back seat. At the time they bought their timeshare things were great financially and the yearly maintenance fees didn’t seem like a big deal.  Fast forward to 2012 and maintenance fees are due and they can’t pay them.

What to do?

Many timeshare owners want to try and donate their timeshare to a charity, thinking the original value of their timeshare will be a great tax deduction.  But, the problem there is that most charities do not want your timeshare, no matter what the value.  They’d be responsible for an annual fee  that perhaps they’re unable to handle.  Since timeshare resale value is almost 0 in the tax man’s eyes, you won’t get the deduction you were counting on.

Other timeshare owners may feel they just want to stop paying their maintenance fees and walk away.  This isn’t a good idea either since your property would go into a non-judicial foreclosure and leave a nasty mark on your credit record.

What is the best way to approach this situation?  Sell your timeshare.  You may not get anywhere near the original amount you paid for it but you’ll be rid of the potential financial headache.  There are people out there looking for bargains on everything during these financially stressed times, and timeshare resale is no different.  At Paradise Timeshare Resale we hear from clients every day that want to sell their timeshare at almost any cost.  We also hear from a lot of clients that are looking for good deals on timeshares.  Our job is to match the two and make everyone happy!

I’d like to share a recent article on the timeshare resale business.  This proves why you should only do business with a licensed timeshare resale broker like Paradise Timeshare Resale.  Our A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau proves that we have our client’s best interest in mind at all times!  I previously wrote of scams and why those looking to purchase a timeshare should be careful and chose a reputable company like Paradise Timeshare Resale that doesn’t ask for any money up front.

Here is a recent article from the Tampa Bay Times :

They called a California man with dementia and got him to spend hundreds.

They called a Washington woman, drowsy on pain pills and dying of cancer, and charged thousands.

They called a desperate Kentucky man who couldn’t say no, and took his life savings.

Every day in Florida, teams of telemarketers dial around the clock from behind blacked-out windows in strip malls and office buildings across the state. (more…)

Vail Resorts announced that they have purchased Kirkwood Ski Resort!  The $18 million acquisition was announced today and gives Vail Resorts 3 ski areas in the area:  Heavenly Valley, Northstar and now Kirkwood.  The sale does need approval from the Forest Service since they own much of the land Kirkwood rests on but that is pretty much guaranteed.

What does this mean?  If you have a ski pass to either Kirkwood or Heavenly, your local ski options just increased!  If you have a Northstar/Heavenly pass, you can now use it at Kirkwood, and if you have a Kirkwood pass you can now ski at Heavenly and Northstar for no extra charge!

There are two timeshares out at Kirkwood, the Mountain Club at Kirkwood and The Sentinels at Kirkwood Private Residence Club.  They are both members of Interval International.
