I have 2 time shares from Silverleaf that I have been trying to get rid of. I signed up with sellmytimesharesnow.com. To list both my properties cost $1,996.00. After 6 or 7 months of no activity I receive an e-mail from them stating they have an "organization" as a client that is willing to take my properties off my hands.
Here is the catch. This "organization" will take the properties for free, as in I give them away to them plus I have to pay sellmytimesharesnow.com $3,500.00 per property for closing fees, taxes etc. The salesman John Madrid, did state he would receive a modest commission of $50.00 as his payment. I was told that if I don't pay the $7,000.00 and take this offer now, I would probably never successfully sell my time shares even though I paid SellMyTimeshareNow.com $1,996.00 to market the 2 properties for me.
In review; I paid around 15K to 20K to buy two properties from Silverleaf resorts. I decide after having them for a decade but rarely using them that I want to sell them. Everything I was told by the seller at Silverleaf resorts about how time shares are an investment and easy to sell was a complete lie. In order to advertise selling my time shares cost an additional $1,996.00. Now the group that I paid $2,000.00 advertise and find buyers for me is saying if I pay them an additional $7,000.00 they will take them off my hands. If I do not pay them the money, I will eventually pay that amount and more in taxes and monthly maintenance fees.
I would love to be able to find out if sellmytimesharesnow.com and the mystery “organization” are owned by the same group after one digs through the maze of dummy corporations.
