Prestige Timeshare Marketing
The Famous Doctor Story Condo in Contract for months and months... Closing Day ends in a Doctor being arrested for Drugs

I was contacted by Prestige Timeshare Marketing in March. For $699 they could market and sell my Westgate timeshare. Being that my 40 yr old husband had just had a massive heart attack, I readily agreed... As we needed the money to help pay for the mounting medical bills. Prestige "appraised" our property for $23K. GREAT, I thought.

I spoke with "David" in mid-April and the timeshare was "in contract" with a doctor and his wife. Wow! When will it close? Well, there were 91 people in front of us, it'd be "a few weeks".in late May, we still had not heard from them... So we called to find out the status of the closing. Now we're #82... Hmmm, that's sloooooow. How much longer?"just a few weeks, Prestige can only close 5-6 per day". June comes and goes... July... By that point, I'm ticked. We called AGAIN... Now we're 55??"Just a few more weeks Mrs. S, we only close 2-3 per day". Now they're only closing 2 or 3 per day??? We call in August... Our closing is 20-something.

In September, we're told we are supposed to close on the 28th. Finally. The morning of Friday, Sept 28th, David calls to say that the "doctor and his wife" are supposed to be at the closing at 10:30 AM. At 11:15, he calls to inform me that they didn't make it to closing... Must be stuck in traffic. Hmmmm. At 3 PM we're told that they didn't show at all for their 11:45 AM appt (notice the conflict in story AGAIN).

On Monday, David calls to let us know that he personally went to their address and there was a "big drug bust with dogs and the works"... He was so scared because he (David) was even frisked. I thought, WHAT A STORY. But they have my $699, so I play along. He promises that he'll get it sold QUICKLY and we'll jump to number one in closing. "Nothing like this has ever happened to us before, " states David.

Today I received an interesting call from another Timeshare Marketing company. When I said that we were listed with Prestige... The man on the phone said: "let me guess... A doctor was supposedly buying your condo, but the day of close there was either a drug bust or he had a heart attack right in the closing office."

I've been ripped off... And I'm going to be shouting this from the mountain tops! Prestige needs to not only reimburse my $699, they need to pay for a REAL company to market my condo... We've now lost 7 months playing into their SCAM. I will only recend my comments if they meet that criteria.

If you've heard a similar story from this ripoff company, please contact me. I'm considering a class action suit.
