Complete Exit After 14-Month Process

4/5Proof Attached

Experience

My journey with this company started in January 2023 when I reached out after seeing their advertisement online. During our initial consultation call, the rep explained their three-phase exit process: document review, resort negotiation, and final deed transfer. Phase 1 (Weeks 1-4): They collected all my ownership documents including the original contract, deed, and maintenance fee history. The document specialist identified several clauses in my contract that could be leveraged for the exit. Phase 2 (Months 2-8): This was the negotiation phase where they worked directly with the resort's legal team. I received monthly progress updates via email, though there were a few months where communication slowed down. They had to file formal complaints with the resort's corporate office twice before getting traction. Phase 3 (Months 9-14): The final paperwork and deed transfer. This included signing quitclaim deeds, getting documents notarized, and waiting for the resort to process the transfer. The longest wait was the 6 weeks for the resort to officially release me from the contract. Total process: 14 months from initial contact to receiving my release letter.

What Went Well

The document review phase was thorough and professional. My assigned case manager, who I worked with throughout the entire process, was knowledgeable about resort contract law. The initial consultation was free and they clearly explained the timeline expectations upfront. They also provided me with a client portal where I could track the status of my case and upload documents securely.

What Went Wrong

Communication gaps during months 4-6 were frustrating. I had to call multiple times to get updates during this period. The total cost ended up being about $1,500 more than the initial estimate due to additional legal filing fees they said were necessary. Also, the initial timeline estimate was 8-10 months, but it took 14 months total.

Advice for Others

Document everything from day one. Keep a folder with every email, every receipt, and notes from every phone call. Ask for specific timeline commitments in writing and get a breakdown of all possible fees before signing. Don't be afraid to call and ask for updates - squeaky wheel gets the grease.
