We have a timeshare, and got a call recently from Angela with Interval Realty. Her pitch was that for a 'listing and marketing' fee of $399, she would market our timeshare to companies who need extra space for corporate events and gifts to clients.
In our conversation, Angela quoted our market rental value of our timeshare as high as $3000; which of course sounded too good to be true.
The funny catch was that before she could list it in their system, we had to pay a $399 fee for that service... This was BEFORE they would send us the contract with the guarantee.
She also said that they are over at the convention center in orlando almost daily. I called the convention center and they only rent out space to one large event/company at a time, and from there that client does what they want with boothes, spaces, etc...
Also checked BBB (which funny enough she recomended), and they have numerous complaints.
When she called back to check my interest, she was combative and very testy on the phone, and then hung up on me—which confirms my own suspicions.
Be very careful of anyone who will "market, sell, or rent" your timeshare and needs a fee up front before you get to see the contract!!
