The Everything Family Guide to Timeshares: Buy Smart, Avoid Pitfalls, And Enjoy Your Timeshare Vacations to the Max!


Buying or selling timeshares will bring to you the ultimate holiday experience that homely feel combined with the exhilarating feeling of whiling away time in faraway destinations. Timeshare ownership is nothing but acquisition of a vacation home or resort for a specific period of time or percentage of interest.

Once you own a timeshare, the vacation choices are endless. The inherent flexibility of buying or selling timeshares is evident through many alternatives in location, unit size, time of year, and the opportunity to exchange with other resorts. Vacations can be at a fixed time or can vary each year, and accommodations can range from a studio to a two- or three-bedroom villa. As an owner, you can opt to visit your home resort, or exchange to other resorts, spas, cruises, hotels, and specialty tours across the globe!

Make a one-time purchase of furnished resort accommodations at a fraction of the whole ownership cost and pay an annual maintenance fee. Each unit of a timeshare resort is divided into intervals, most commonly by the week or some other combination of days. Often the amount of time you purchase is explicitly mentioned in the terms and conditions.

And hold on if you thought those were your only options. there are more. You can go for different timeshare programs, such as fractionals, offering longer use periods, as long as three months, or a season. You can also exchange your interval or week for new and different vacation experiences at comparable resorts across the country and around the world.

However, some resorts only offer owners the opportunity to exchange their timeshare to another resort within the home resort's own portfolio of properties. Most resorts are also affiliated with an independent exchange company that orchestrates exchanges with other resorts on behalf of members.

To exchange, you can place your interval into the exchange company's pool of available resort weeks and pick an available resort and week from that pool. The exchange company will charge you a nominal exchange fee, plus an annual membership fee. Often the resort developer pays the new owner's first year membership fee. So start looking for timeshare only options that would best suit your lifestyle and have a ball.
