These are also responsible for wrong information received by any potential owner that could result to problematic timeshare ownership. Thus, some of these owners may want to get out of their timeshares.

First myth that almost any owner believed the day they purchased their units is that the timeshare is a financial investment. This sounds interesting and could entice any potential owner but when we say financial investment, it means that it is profitable or there is a return in any financial means. Timeshare ownership is just all about a vacation experience that allows you to stay in a resort of your choice that ordinarily would be out of your reach due to financial constraints.

Another myth is that the timeshare resale value is worthless. Some owners who look around for companies to handle the resale of their units were informed by unethical sales people that it was worthless.

Take note that there are many owners nowadays who are getting rid of their timeshares. For some, they even hire a timeshare transfer company like the Transfer Smart just to get rid of it.
