Re: Selling Wyndham Bonnet Creek (by KC):

I don't claim to know anything whatsoever about your particular resort or its' resale value. That said, I will just mention that Wyndham has a "deedback" program called "Certified Exit" (formerly called "Ovation"), if you decide that you really want to just promptly part company with that ownership; cleanly, with minimal effort --- and at zero cost to you.

Even if you sell your week, I believe that Wyndham's "transfer fee" is $200 (it may be even more now, I'm not sure). Additionally, if you can find a "taker", it would likely take 6-8 weeks after a new deed gets officially recorded (and a copy provided to Wyndham) before Wyndham will actually process and acknowledge the ownership change. Time is a factor to consider if Wyndham stills bills monthly (as they did when I owned a week within Wyndham a decade ago). Time and certainty are both valid considerations in weighing the efficiency of trying to sell (maybe with no success) vs. the swift and clean departure of the "deedback" option. It's ultimately your decision.

Understandably, it really grates on people that a "deedback" essentially involves giving back to the developer, receiving no compensation whatsoever, something which once cost thousands of dollars (if purchased directly from a developer; Wyndham in your case. I am not promoting or endorsing this "deedback" approach, I am merely pointing out its' existence, in case you were not aware of that option existing with Wyndham. I found a phone number for the former "Ovation" program elsewhere in these RedWeek forums; 855-312-9040. That number may have been updated somewhere along the way with the program name change to "Certfied Exit", but it's a toll free call for you to find out more from Wyndham on your own, if you decide that you might be interested in that option.

Good luck with whatever avenue you choose to pursue in seeking to part company with your Wyndham ownership!
