Anyone had any good luck with this company?

Never heard of 'em before. Another upfront fee parasite, perhaps?

As you may / may not know, Bluegreen is a points based system, in which people use their "owned" Blugreen points to stay at various facilities where Bluegreen owns / controls some weeks. (Bluegreen doesn't actually OWN any entire facilities itself (as far as I know, anyhow), just some individual WEEKS at various assorted facilities.

As far as I know, the ONLY Bluegreen authorized reseller for Bluegreen (other than Bluegreen itself, of course) is an entity called "Pinnacle Vacations" (I'm NOT endorsing them, I'm merely identifying them).

In short, I advise you to do your homework and proceed with caution. This outfit MAY be invoking the Bluegreen name, but perhaps without actually having any real affiliation at all with Bluegreen itself. If they are looking for any "upfront fee" in ANY amount for ANY reason, turn around on your heels and run, run away...

I am a former b/g sales rep. they DO own properties outright. Harbor Lights in Myrtle Beach, Boyne Mountain in Michigan, Wilderness Club at Big Cedar in Missouri to name a few. Like several t/s companies they also own "weeks" of inventory they pick up from developers closing out inventory. That's what makes the "point system" click. The t/s company can bundle up deeded blue weeks or less than high demand resorts redtime weeks and sell them because they "total up" to a certain point value that can be used for high demand/profile destinations. Bluegreen Corp. has a real estate development branch (Bluegreen Communities) again like other corps. (wyndham for instance) where you can purchase a year round home/homesite and be on the golf course lake or mountains, locations in Texas, Tenn. Fl. and other locations. Pinnacle Vacations is Bluegreen's resale branch where owners are encouraged to use them to list their unwanted properties. Since leaving the company I haven't kept up with their current growth but I do know that when the crunch hit they got hurt big time somehow they are /were related to Lehman Brothers...I think they were the driving force ($) behind the residential communities and when they went down they took a lot of Bluegreen financial $$$ with them.

How does one transfer timeshare to a family member? They are willing to take it, no money involved. Thanks for your help.

You can do it yourself by copying the contract stating the new owner's name .... you must then send a copy to the county where the timeshare is located and to the resort or you can do a 'quit claim deed' transfer. You can google to find out more about quit claim deeds.
