Re: We are thinking about a Timeshare Purchase, whats your honest opinion???

By all means, contact a member of the Licensed Timeshare Resale Broker Association in your area. There are 64 members in the US and Hawaii. I have surveyed all of them, received responses from about 20 members and have concluded Hilton has the best secondary market should an owner need to sell. Hyatt, Disney, Starwood and Marriott at least have some secondary market value. http://www.licensedtimeshareresalebrokers.org/ Also, type the word "complaint" after any timeshare company you are interested in. It would have saved us years of grief if we had done that. We used and enjoyed three fixed weeks of timeshare for over 25 years without a comment, question or post until Diamond Resorts bought our ILX resort in Arizona. Just know with Diamond and Westgate there is no secondary market, unlike all or most of the other timeshare companies. Even with the better companies, don't expect to get back more that 5% to 15% if you need to sell. Do your homework. You will be glad you did.
