Does anyone have information about this company? A Branson sales person said that this company would take title of our t/s and only costing us $349 for transfer of title. Can this be real?? Thanks for any information and response.

Here are the issues:
-What will they DO with your timeshare? Many of these companies deed the timeshare to a shell company, bankrupt the company, and abandon the deed which causes all kinds of problems for the resort to get it back. That means that the other owners at the resort have to cover your maintenance fee, and the legal costs of recovering the deed.
-How do you know they will actually transfer the deed out of your name? Some of these companies are scammers and they steal the transfer fee, and then disappear.
Please consider giving your timeshare away to a private individual who would like to own it, before you spend a cent with a company like this.
Why?
-You can give it away yourself for nearly no cost.
-You can control the transfer process to make sure it is truly transferred out of your name.
-You won't have to deal with companies that may or may not be Legit.
-You can transfer it to a private individual who will be happy to have it for their own use.
-You will have the satisfaction of knowing that you ended your ownership legally and ethically.
There are TWO places on TUG where you can give away your TS's for free (no charge for the Ads.) THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT - SO YOU SHOULD POST IN BOTH AREAS. There are other cheap and free sites on the internet, as well.
TUG Marketplace - the only cost is your TUG membership - $15 (List it for $1 and it will automatically go in the Bargain Basement Ads.)
Bargain Deals - Totally FREE! - just write a simple post with all the pertinent info. In your post, include the following info.:
To make it more attractive I would:
Good luck!

To make it more attractive I would:
1) Pay the 2012/2013 maintenance fees and don't ask for reimbursement.
2) Pay for the title transfer (you can get a simple title transfer with no escrow or title search for about $100.) Many Tuggers (including me) have been using Legal Timeshare Transfers, a no frills document preparation company, and they are receiving good reviews on TUG.:

3) Reserve a popular holiday week in 2012/13 for the new owner
4) Instead of paying a fee to a rescue company - consider offering a cash incentive to the new owner.
5) Here is the very important step that most people miss: Come back to TUG once a week and add more info. to your thread - this will bump it to the top of the page.

Do not do it. We almost fell for that and luckily we did our homework first. With every resort there is always a big resort transfer fee they will not tell you about. My husband and I are were in the same position. There are about 3 other ways you can transfer out of it. We bought a an ebook to get out of all of our timeshares, because we had been through so much. It was a a pure [REDACTED] book (in fact I think that's the name.
The transfer companies are a 90% of the time a complete joke from what we learned. Almost as bad as the online listing companies. We are out of 3 of our 6 so far. We could not give them away before. Not sure of your exact situation, but the book covers everything it seems (75 page pdf.) I think an ex-salesperson wrote it/cross over to our side [ SPAM LINK REDACTED ] is the link for it). Boring as hell, but I highly recommend it for the info. Had a money-back guarantee through paypal which works for me too.

sewingmom112 - Are you affiliated with this book?
Because I know you aren't a mom, and I doubt if you sew...

Someone by the same name has several negative reports on fraud websites in regard to "her" affiliation with "dump your timeshare" companies...

I think this statement is a bunch of crap. Yes, there are transfer fees sometimes but I have sold over 25 TS Weeks over the years and don't remember a transfer fee being involved.

Wanted to follow up and report back on this. I bought a timeshare from them off of eBay. The closing and title transfer took close to 3 months but I ended up getting exactly what they represented. Purchase price was $12k so was a bit nervous as it wasn't pocket change but they were very responsive via phone and email throughout the whole process. I dealt with Spence who was one of the owners and Melissa who handled the closing. Not sure how they are to deal with if you are selling them a timeshare but as a buyer I am happy.
I actually talked to the owner Spence quite a bit over the phone. Most of the timeshares he gets are from owners around the Lake Ozark area who want to trade (upgrade or in my case based on what I got the owners definitely downgraded
into one of them. It seems there's a bunch of timeshares in the Ozarks.
