Nationwide Transfer Ozark (by Cynthia D.):

in response to what jerrym265 said about Nationwide Transfer in Ozark,MO I have worked for this company from its inception, and I would like to make a few points that are obviously missing. When a representative talked to him (or her) on the phone they stated they were unhappy with their timeshare either because of the outrageous fees, or because they were lied to when they bought the timeshare. It was pointed out that there is NO resale market for timeshares, folks literally try to give them away on ebay and are unable to. We let them know that we were not going to buy, sell, or list their timeshare but we offered services to help disgruntled owners get out...and yes it costs money. they knew this coming into the seminar. they would not have been there if they were HAPPY owners. Our seminars are focused on owners wanting to get out of maintenance fees, special assessment fees, mortages and everything else. Most of the owners that go have already been through the process with other companies promising to make a profit for them by buying or selling it for them...that is inpratical, there is not resaleing timeshare and everyone knows it.these companines are trying to make a buck off owners demise and unfortunate situations. we are not, we host seminars to inform owners on what WILL work and what WILL NOT. If the gentleman was quoted $4995 then he should have taken it. there is not much room for profit on our end after lawyers,transfer fees, ETC,ETC we look at each individuals and let them know what will help them in the long run. This IS an upfront fee, however, the process is started that day they will literally walk from the seminar without the burden of owning a timeshare, the actual process taken to relieve them takes alittle time which is were the 100% refundable guarantee comes in. If we are not able to finalize everything through and through then we WILL give the miney back...unlike other companies which make you count it as a lose. We are in the business of helping people as opposed to hurting them. We DO have to get rid of them ourselves and we do have corporations that take them from us.....it would be foolish not to, after having taken over the contract/deed we're responsible now for the fees that incur from it. we take over thousands and pass them off to corporations who in turn use them as employee incentives and bonuses. What I have to say is this, jerrym265 was given an oppurtunity to finally rid themselves and their family of the timeshare burnden at the county and resort level from a reputable company and they passed it up. The price quoted him is reasonable considering the other options are passing it to a child who probably didn't want and would have to take over the burdens, or going through the cycle of using other companies charging $400-$2000 to "list" it which never works with any percentage of sucess, and continue to lose money in the process. Doing the math of the years of non-use, the years of re-occuring fees, and money lost on companies saying they'd sell it, it adds up to far less than qouted for something that IS guaranteed with a 100% sucess rate. All I can say, is do the math, do the research, and hopefully we will be back in the area relatively soon and they would have reconsidered and will use the services next time. Our seminars are non-obligatory, its not high pressure its simply informative educating owners and giving them the tools necessary to make an educated decision on what they can do to get out of their trap which is the timeshare. Whether they use what is offered or not is totally up to them.
