My husband and I owned HGV for more than 10 years. Over the years we upgraded to more points for $$’s. All and all I eventually added it all up and the amount we had invested was astounding! I believe more than $100,000. I wish I had added it up before. My husband started having health problems and we were not able use the HGV! Basically the timeshare although we were always told it’s not a timeshare because you own a part of it! I tried to go through a timeshare selling company which I paid Money for. Nothing. Then I read somewhere that Hilton won’t accept sales made through the timeshare companies and that sales had to go through Hilton resale department. So I decided rather than just giving our HGV property back for $0.00, I would try going through HGV resale. They were nice, and told me they would try to sell it. They do use other sales offices, you just can’t do it. It all has to go through them and then be accepted by HGV. So when January was coming close I decided to lower the $$ amount we would do. Well just before year end an offer came in and it was very low. But at that point I did not want to pay any more maintenance dues. We accepted the offer. We were at silver level. So we took a huge loss basically got $5,000 just to get out of the deed. But it was better than paying to get rid of the money pit! We are so glad that we did. This was this past year. Best wishes to all going through this buyout! 🙏🙏 to all of you! It’s a nightmare!
