Re: Starwood Vacation Ownership (by Frank A.):

I completely agree that maintenance fees and taxes are very much underemphasized in the sales pitch. As a matter of research not too long ago, I contacted SVO a couple of times and with different folks high up in their organization, to ask if they would provide me a list of the maintenance charges for each of their resort properties. Each time I was denied, and told I could only get the fees for my home property. While I already know maintenance fees vary from property to property, I thought it would be an interesting excercise to possibly creating some benchmarks that I could have in my backpocket at the next association meeting. Not sure why it would be a secret, or withheld from a property owner.
