The timeshare industry has been long categorized by many as one that sells access to vacation properties in a way that does not favour the buyer. The industry initially appeared to fill a gap by providing affordable vacationing options for those looking for stability and safety during their travels, but parallel to the operations of honest, legit companies, lots of scammers and companies that preferred less than completely honest practices appeared as well. The bad reputation of the industry has led to a significant decrease in interest towards timeshare properties, even though the initial idea is still great and there are many companies that do not use dishonest practices to convince potential buyers and that don’t use small prints in their contracts either.
There are great and not so great timeshare companies, great and not so great selling and contracting practices, but the industry is even more nuanced than that. While many owners are unhappy with their timeshare contracts and sell my timeshare is their goal, others say that investing into multiple timeshares has allowed them to swap time slots with owners at other resorts and has enabled them to spend wonderful time travelling the world in a safe and affordable way. The way to make sure that you understand how the process of buying and owning a timeshare works is to take your time to find out about all the benefits and all the potential pitfalls, to make accurate calculations, comparing the costs of timeshare ownership with the costs of other forms of vacationing and to find out all you can about the company that you are planning to contract.
