Creative Market Solutions Scrutinized By Florida Attorney General November 10, 2009
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, General, News & Events, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized , add a commentBuyATimeshare.com is always striving to keep our readers up to date regarding the latest developments in the resale industry. In a surprising report released on November 2, 2009 Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum has filed an injunction and a lawsuit against Hicks Inc., doing business has Creative Vacation Solutions and Universal Marketing Solutions, for practicing unethical and deceitful sales tactics.
According to the report management rarely if ever actually tried to match sellers with prospective buyers. The companies promised to market their clients’ properties but were instead stuffing over $4 million of advertising fees in their pockets each month. In order to gain your business, the Palm Beach County-based timeshare resale companies would use claims of already having a buyer in place. All the owner would have to do is send money for an escrow search. While some owners paid upward of $2,000 in hopes of finding a buyer, Creative Vacation Solutions and Universal Marketing Solutions never invested those fees toward aggressively marketing as they had promised.
Additionally, the lawsuit states the companies boasted “superior marketing tools” that included marketing events, presentations and seminars. Sales Managers alleged to have guaranteed that they could sell timeshares within a certain period of time and that buyers were already approved for financing to purchase the timeshare now. As so many scams are still found in the resale industry today, BuyATimeshare.com cautions everyone to avoid any company that claims they can sell your timeshare immediately.
Investing millions of dollars into the search engine optimization necessary to reach today’s consumer, BuyATimeshare.com has innovated numerous marketing techniques to guarantee that your property is in front of the maximum amount of potential buyers possible.

Sell a timeshare.com Recognized for Proven Success in the Resale Market October 1, 2009
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Fairfield Timeshares, General, Marriott Timeshares, New Features, News & Events, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentAn article by Bloomberg.com has cited SellATimeshare.com, a domain of BuyATimeshare.com, as a successful alternative to paying more than $30,000 on your next vacation property. With an extensive inventory and a marketplace of owners looking to sell their timeshares, the timeshare resale website has helped millions of buyers, renters, and sellers. Competitive prices and the convenience of buying from home have made BuyATimeshare.com the world leader in the business.
As consumer spending has slowed, it has made things tougher for the developers to sell off inventory. Vacation-goers are skipping the sales presentations and buying for sale by owner from people who are looking to sell for less. Consumers are searching the internet for bargains. Without having to spend thousands of dollars more than they have to on a timeshare week, consumers are searching sites like BuyATimeshare.com and SellATimeshare.com for bargains on the same luxury suites buyers and renters are used to.
Developers and giant hoteliers are feeling the squeeze of the recession as folks are abandoning retail for the resale market to secure themselves an inexpensive vacation property. Wyndham Worldwide, the largest seller of timeshare vacations said it would cut nearly 40 percent of its timeshare sales. Marriott International, the largest hotel chain in the U.S. said it would cut prices and halt development as a result of a $760 million pretax.
Timeshare developers are witnessing a steady drop in sales but millions of people are still buying and staying in these properties every year. Usage of these luxury resorts hasn’t fallen below RevPar projections, since the resale industry is becoming the only way for today’s traveler to find a Marriott or Wyndham property for such low prices. Even memberships with RCI and Interval International are available. A $46,000 Marriott timeshare property is available for $25,000, or even $18,000 for sale. A week at these same properties can be rented for only $1,400 to $1,200 on BuyATimeshare.com.

The Most Valuable Timeshare Advertising in the World June 16, 2009
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : Disney, General, Marriott Timeshares, RCI, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentThere are thousands of Timeshare resale companies around the world that will list your property; but only a chosen few can really provide the global exposure necessary to successfully sell your timeshare.

Owners are often looking to get back what they paid for their timeshare. On the resale market owners typically won’t get back what they initially paid. The most valuable services will charge an upfront fee. Newspapers, phonebooks and magazine advertising all charge a non-refundable fee and wont target timeshare buyers specifically.
Brokers aren’t necessarily the best option, and typically it isn’t an option at all in regards to timeshare resales. Advertising reaches a worldwide marketplace of timeshare buyers and can guarantee a commission-free sale. Despite today’s economy, owners like what they have and continue to use timeshares every day.
Aggressively pricing your vacation property will attract a buyer. Selling it off for thousands of dollars less than what you first paid is what will get that property sold!
