Re: Get out of Westgate Resorts (by Robert C.):

I think all of Lance C.'s suggestions are good although anecdotally, I have heard it is hard to give it away, but there's no harm in trying. You never know.

I appreciate that everyone's situation is different. Fortunately, for us, the property was in an irrevocable trust that gave us leverage and protection if we had decided to just walk away. That is what our lawyer advised (for free). As Lance says, I would definitely NOT pay a large upfront fee to anyone. My gut tells me that you will end up eventually paying something to someone to exit, but the option of persistent pressure on Westgate will most likely be the least costly, even if you end up paying maintenance fees for a few years. You also have a "clean" break with documentation from them. For us, the crossover point when compared to paying an upfront fee to a firm was about 4 years.
