These "exit" companies, if they're not outright scams (which many are), will at best charge you thousands of dollars to do something you can do yourself.
Try asking the resort if it will take your unit back. Some timeshare companies such as Diamond, Wyndham, and Westgate have programs in place where they will take units back from owners.
You can also advertise here on RedWeek (but not in these forums) that you want to give your unit away.
