Re: Is it possable to get owners list at my resort (by R P.):
brenda, this is one reason we got completely out of timesharing; already high maintenance fees that keep rising each year, along with surprise special assessments that owners are responsible for paying whether they want to or not ..... not to speak of the rising costs of exchanging. Boards seem to do what they darn well please, without any vote from owners.
We owned a week at a resort that charged owners a special assessment and then considerable rises in maintenance fees for several years in a row. Then I learned, after I sold the week, that they were asking for another special assessment. We put all of our timeshares up for sale when they requested the FIRST special assessment. We saw the handwriting on the wall as far as owning weeks of timeshare, that the rising costs are neverending.
The president of the board at that resort had been so for several years. There were those who tried to vote her out, but she had her followers, mainly whole ownership people that lived at the resort year round. In other words, the owners of timeshares, with their special assessments and rising maintenance fees, were keeping the whole ownership units afloat.
