    Timeshare Traveler Episode 97...HGVMax is now Live with New Locations

    When Hilton grand Vacations changed their launch date to October, I certainly wasn't thinking October 5th. I was assuming October 28th or October 31st. But I am happy to be wrong. This video is hot off the presses reviewing the details of the new HGVMax locations. There was skepticism about...

    Diamond Now Require Seller and Buyer Affidavits

    this past summer, apparently Diamond now requires buyer and sellers to sign and notarize transfer affidavits. Check out the screenshot! Wonder if this is just stonewalling, or Diamond forcing sellers to use their Transitions program.

    Anyone heard of Ardent law group?

    We signed up with Timeshare Exit Team in March 2018 and never heard from them again. This summer, they sent me an email saying they were referring my file to Ardent Law Group. Ardent does not offer a "money-back guarantee" and the person I spoke with was obviously a CSR and not a paralegal or...

    Diamond Resorts Pleased to Announce Settlement with "Timeshare Exit Attourney"

    Saw this on a Facebook page for Diamond Owners. Kinda seems like an oxymoron but I guess you can't look a gift horse in the mouth. The interesting thing to me is that Diamond is pursuing several other exit companies as well. This win should give the a solid foundation in that effort...

    Deeded Owner - Completely Satisfied!

    My husband and I fell twice for the sales pitch at Diamond Resorts - Sedona Summit. I blame it on Red Rocks Intoxication, either that or those mysterious Sedona vortices! Anyway, we sobered up each time and rescinded. Ultimately we did purchase, a 2BR 2BA LO resale at a fraction of the price...
