Re: Timeshare Savings Network (by T M.):

This is how they reel their clients in .... telling them their timeshare is worth a very inflated price getting the prospective client all excited that they can get that very inflated price .... then of course they offer their credit card number to the upfront fee company that has lied to them. The client will more than likely never hear from this company again. It's an out and out scam.

Been there, done that, been burned quite a few years ago. I just wanted to check and see if anyone has dealt with this company and what the results were. Interestingly, this company has been in business since 2003 and has not had complaints to the BBB. I am intrigued by that.

Anyway, George called me yesterday and I talked at length with him. Of course he was going to be a great guy and waive the $400 deed transfer fee. Isn't it about $50 or so if one files the deed transfer themselves? I also heard that Celebrity resorts had 12,000 tours over the recent labor day weekend. Obviously this was to show me how hot the market is. I replied how nice that was, but that is only for new construction or newly renovated properties and not at the place I own.

He went on to tell in a way how it was illegal to do commissions on sales, that he cannot touch any of the money from the sale price. I asked is this was a federal or state law, and if so what section of law is this since I would like to look it up myself. I received no direct reply.

I was questioned what it would take to sign me up? "Hmmm.., how about a referal list of recent customers of yours, say within the past month to ninety days that owned at the resort I own, received around the price you say they are going for and were happy with the service you provided?"

"I have never been asked this before. I'll have to get approval", was his reply.

The wonderful price that he can get for our unit must have generated quite a few happy customers, correct?

He asked how would I know if the referal was actually a customer of his. "I'll check with the recorder of deeds in the county where the property is located" I answered. He went on to another topic.

The above quotes are loosely paraphrased, your mileage may vary.
