What is a Timeshare?
Timesharing started in Europe many years ago and the concept was simply an arrangement whereby a number of people joined together to buy and run a holiday resort for their benefit. The idea worked well and spread throughout the world. Presently, there are several million timeshare owners.

Vacation or timeshare ownership is a simple concept. You avoid the yearly expense of maintaining and furnishing a totally owned luxury vacation home. You pay for only the time you wish to use. You may return to your home resort every year on trade weeks to other destinations worldwide.

Can I Invest in Timeshares?
Yes and no. Yes, if you and your family love to travel or are always traveling, yes you will benefit from it.

No. Timesharing is not an investment product and surely is not intended as a way of making money as such. It is a financial commitment to your leisure enjoyment and peace of mind.

If I buy or resale, do I have to worry about a previous lien?
All Liens, maintenance and financing must be paid off or property cannot be transferred with money owed.

If I can't use my week one year, do I automatically loose it?
No, you can space bank it with any exchange company and save it up to two years. This will give you an extra vacation for the following year to use as a two-week vacation or two separate vacations.

If I own a fixed week am I limited to vacationing that particular week?
No, you can do an internal exchange into your own resort for your desired week. Pretty soon you will be able to exchange that week through us. (Condotrader.com)
Fixed week means: The same week each ad every year at your timesharing resorts. If you buy week 13 at your home resort, you are guaranteed week 13 every year.

What does the Season Color Code mean?
The color code is used for rating:
1. Red is considered the most in demand.
2. White and yellow are less traveled
3. Blue and green are considered off-season.

Accrued weeks
Timesharing weeks that have accumulated from the prior year and are available for use in the current calendar year. Also, (see exchange or trade) you may always exchange into another resort worldwide.

Bonus time
Use of your timeshare resort in addition to your regular allocated time on a space available basis.

Closing costs
Costs associated with the timeshare closing process, usually including deed preparation or transfer of equity for right-to-use properties, recording costs, escrow fee and administrative fees.

Club Membership
Year-round usage of vacation resort facilities with purchase on a space available basis.

Deed (Fee Simple)
Ownership interest providing title to your timeshare.

Developer's Price
Estimated developer's current or market price. Full retail price of timeshares.

Exchange
The process of trading timeshares at one resort for timeshares at another resort or trading a specific week at the home resort for another week at the same resort.

Exchange Company
A company that allows timeshare owners to trade their timeshare for a week at another timeshare resort.

Fee Simple
The timeshare owner holds a deed in their name and the ownership of the timeshare can be willed over to your children, a charity or friend.

Fixed Week
The same week each and every year at your timesharing resort.

Floating Week
This lets you choose the week of your choice, based on availability.

Lockout Unit
A unit which has the capability of being divided to create two separate but complete units. If an owner buys a lockout unit, he/she can divide the unit and either stay in one half of the unit and rent the other half or rent both.

Maintenance Fee
Maintenance fees are established and collected to maintain the timeshare resort, pay insurance, utilities, taxes and etc. These fees vary from resort and with the type and size of the timeshare unit purchased.

Odd or Even Year Usage
Timeshare ownership usage every other year. Some odd-numbered, some even.

Points
Redeem for daily stamps, weeks and getaways. Resorts offer this type of program to owners who allow the owners to choose and control over when and where they vacation or for how long or short they stay.
Instead of staying for a week, owners can stay for 3 days, 4 days or stay just for the weekend getaway.

Right to use:
No deed. (It's just like leasing a car for x amount of years). After the lease is over you do not own any property. Occupancy rights for a specified number of years, with no ownership interest in the property.
