3 Tips For Selling Your Timeshare

Have you fallen out of love with your timeshare? Are the maintenance fees too high and ever-increasing? Do you think it was a mistake to purchase your timeshare in the first place?

If you answered yes to those questions, you may want to sell your timeshare. You're definitely not alone in wanting to do that. According to some data, the vast majority of people who've purchased a timeshare regret doing so.

So, how do you go about selling your timeshare? Here are some tips to get you started:

1. Contact the resort developer, management company, or owner's association.

You are probably not the first person at your resort to decide that buying a timeshare was a mistake. Management at the resort likely will have dealt with quite a few people in your situation before. They may have a resale program, or a website or an email newsletter for people like you to list their timeshares for sale. They should be able to give you some useful information.

SPS

Our SPS client was $72,921.88 past due on his mortgage and had a sale date set, but we helped him get a repayment plan that will allow him to keep his home!

IL Couple Keeps Home AFTER It Was Sold In Foreclosure Auction

In December of 2017 we were hired by homeowners in Williamson County, Illinois who needed help keeping their home. To protect their privacy, I'll call them the Taylors.

Unlike most of our clients who want to avoid foreclosure and/or get a loan modification, the Taylors had already lost their home in a foreclosure auction and didn't want a loan mod.

Wait a minute. If they'd already lost their home, why in the world did they hire a law firm to help them save it?

Because a foreclosure sale isn't necessarily the point of no return in foreclosure. There are ways for a homeowner to get their house back even after it has been sold. There's something called a right of redemption, which is: “the right of a debtor whose real property has been foreclosed upon and sold to reclaim that property if they are able to come up with the money to repay the amount of the debt.”

How Do You Find The Right Lawyer To Cancel Your Timeshare?

Deciding that you want to cancel your timeshare contract is an important decision, but actually making it happen is another matter. You may have no idea where to start.

One thing is for sure: just wishing to be out of your timeshare isn't going to make it happen. There's an old saying that goes “you can wish in one hand and sh*t in the other.”

You've got to actually take action to get out of your timeshare. Timeshare contracts are legally binding and getting out of them can be complex and time-consuming. Doing it in the wrong way could have serious negative consequences, including damaging your credit score.

You may be able to get out of your timeshare on your own, but hiring an attorney to help you cancel your timeshare would be better.

For something so important, you don't want just any lawyer. Like doctors, lawyers to to focus their practice in a specific area. You wouldn't want to hire a criminal defense attorney to cancel your timeshare contract any more than you would want an orthopedic surgeon to remove your tonsils.

You want a lawyer with relevant experience who charges a fair fee and is honest. To help you find that attorney, here are some things you can do:

It's Time To Get Your Taxes Done (And Save Your Home)

Ben Franklin said the only two certainties in life are death and taxes. Certain to happen, sure, but when? Death row inmates aside, we don't know when we'll die. But the day our income taxes are due is known. Normally it's April 15. That's a Sunday this year, so the government has set Monday April 17 as the deadline to file income tax returns.

You have to file income taxes with the federal government every year unless you meet the requirements to be exempt. If you owe money to the IRS and don't pay, they will charge you interest and even pursue criminal charges. Just ask Wesley Snipes, he went to prison for two and a half years over tax issues.
