When I first decided to sell my timeshare I called BuyATimeshare.com at 8008820296 and spoke to Quincy Browne and he assured me of their success in getting Wyndham Resorts sold.  A friend told me about rip-off report a few weeks after signing on with the company and told me to do some investigation.  When I looked for some complaints for buy a timeshare.com, I came up with a number of reports.  Immediately I contacted Quincy Brown and wanted to cancel my agreement.  He explained the proven success rate of buyatimeshare and that they were not a scam, but also stated I signed and agreed to their terms, which was true, but I still wanted out! 

 

He then explained how many of these complaints were made by angry ex-employees, while some are made by competing firms. He stated they post anything and never remove the complaints, and then showed me legal issues companies had with this organization.  I found the number of complaints was relatively small for dealing with millions of unhappy timeshare owners.  If you look toward the bottom of a complaint, the legitimate issues had been addressed to the best of their ability. 

 

I was still hesitant; but continued to advertise, he upgraded my advertisement to Featured Properties..I guess it put my property on top of all other owners that owned at Wyndham.  Every time I called they answered my call, they were great about answering my questions, reassuring me that the property will be advertised until the deed is transferred and they stated the average time of sale was any where between 3 to 9 months, but it depended on my resort and asking price! They pushed me to lower my price, but it was because I was so frustrated that no other company could help me.  I had spent thousands trying to sell with other companies, so I have to say I wasnt the best customerThey talked me into staying with them since I was only on their site a month, I felt that with their aggressive advertising they should have the best chance to sell it. 

 

Buyatimeshare.com came to me with a few offers via email, some very low, but after 10 months of working with the company lowering my price, working with these offers,  adding comments and upgrading my ad, which cost me even more money, I finally sold it!  Working with this company really worked to help sell my timeshare, I never realized how confusing Vacation ownership can be, they even walked me through closing, which you cant go through a normal title company.I never had a clue, I closed right at the resort, found it interesting that Wyndham never explained the difficulties of these Properties. BuyaTimeshare.com answered my questions and didnt ignore my concerns, although the process is very frustrating!!!

Buy A Timeshare & Royal Elite Timeshare Scam

#2Consumer Comment

Thu, December 26, 2013

We listed our Royal Elite timeshare with BuyATimeshare.com in August of 2012. They were very friendly, persistent, and eager to give us great information regarding how quickly our week would sell. As you can see, it's been over a year and we've NEVER received a phone call regarding our listing. We've reduced the asking price several times and each time we did, it took more than 2 phone calls to get the price correct on the website. This company could care less about you once you give them your $600. I advise against anyone using them to "sell" your timeshare. If only we could get back the money we so willingly, so foolishly gave them...
