SellMyTimeshareNOW.com is Part of an Elite Group

Founded just 5 years ago, this marks the first year SellMyTimeshareNOW.com has been eligible for consideration for Inc.’s prestigious list. Since 2004, our business growth has been 520.9 percent, with revenues of $1.1 million in 2004, which grew to $7.0 million by 2007.

Our staff growth continues, and today we have over 130 people employed by our company.

In our Inc 5000 profile, they state that two reasons for our growth are the fact that we recognized there was previously no efficient way for timeshare owners to sell timeshare or for prospective timeshare buyers to buy or rent timeshare. They also identify that our consistently superb placement on Google and other search engines gets us over a million hits per month and leads to about $7 million in offers to buy or rent timeshare each week.

How our Timeshare Resales Company Made the Inc. 5000 List

In order to be considered for the 2008 Inc. 5000 list, a company must have had at least $200,000 in revenue in 2004, and $2 million in 2007. All companies recognized by Inc. are US based, privately held, independent, for profit companies, which are not subsidiaries or division of other companies, as of December 31, 2007.

An interesting note is that industries reporting the highest median revenue are the travel industry with $38.8 million, followed by financial services, logistics, government services, and energy. The top five largest industries ranked included the category SellMyTimeshareNOW.com falls into, which is Advertising & Marketing with 361 companies, while IT Services was the number one largest category with 579 companies.

What it Means to SellMyTimeshareNOW.com to be Honored by Inc. 5000

At a time when the US economy is shaky and the daily financial news looks bleak, SellMyTimeshareNOW.com is very proud to be part of the solution to getting this country back on solid financial footing. The companies that made the Inc. 5000 list report aggregate revenue of $185 billion and they have created more than 826,033 jobs since the companies were founded. It feels very good to all of us at SellMyTimeshareNOW.com to be part of the economic “good news”.

Our company started out as a vision that we first mapped out on a paper napkin, and with a tremendous amount of hard work and careful business planning, we have thrived and grown, despite the challenging economy. Our daily objective is to help timeshare owners sell or rent their timeshare easily and efficiently, while at the same time offering a vast inventory of timeshare resales and timeshare rentals to prospective buyers. When timeshare owners sell timeshare they no longer use, and a new family gains the pleasure of vacation ownership at an affordable price, we have done something pretty remarkable to make the lives of both the timeshare seller and the timeshare buyer a little better.

And the only thing that I can think of that is more exciting for SellMyTimeshareNOW.com than how far we’ve come in the past 5 years, is to think about what lies ahead for tomorrow.

News 24 from Johannesburg, South Africa reported that guests escaped the early morning blaze with little more than the nightclothes they were wearing. One timeshare guest was quoted as saying, “My dad shouted so much that we thought there were lions in the house.” Another of the timeshare owners listed several personal traumas that she and her husband had experienced in recent months, including her own hijacking and her husband’s stroke as being reasons they had planned their timeshare vacation to relax at the Bush Lodge resort. Understandably, she described the timeshare resort fire as, “the last straw.”

The South African timeshare resort reported that they believed the fire to have started in the kitchen of the timeshare resort’s conference center, resulting from a short circuit. Kwa Maritane timeshare arranged for their guests to be transported to their sister resort, Bakubung. On the timeshare resort’s website, they have posted notice that they will be temporarily closed, but have given no information about when they may plan to reopen.

South Africa Timeshare Opportunities

We already knew that New York timeshares have been, like the timeshare industry in general, either holding their own or gaining, despite the sluggish economy. Many hoteliers have been leaning on the timeshare side of their businesses to keep them solid during these challenging and unpredictable times. But according to figures released last week by the official marketing and tourism organization for New York City, (known as NYC & Company,) the average cost of a hotel room in New York in May climbed by $50 over the same month in 2007.

Hotel room nights sold in New York City in May increased from 2 million last year, to 2.05 million for 2008, and the occupancy rate for the same period increased by 1 percent. Additionally, New York City’s food and beverage services and its retail sector have added 6,000 new jobs and 3,000 new jobs respectively over the past year, despite the fact that unemployment in general has increased throughout the city, as it has in the nation.

New York Hotels and New York Timeshares

Foreign travelers from many countries are still benefiting from favorable exchange rates, although the travel and tourism industries are reporting a slowdown in foreign visitors to the US, perhaps indicating that interest in US travel on discount currency has peaked. Nevertheless, there are, as always, still good values in New York timeshare resales and New York timeshare rentals that can be enjoyed no matter which legal tender you use.

Check out the New Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during your New York Timeshare Vacation

And here’s one fun place to visit during your New York timeshare vacation - next year the city plans to open a new Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as an annex to the Cleveland-based Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. New York’s Mayor, Michael Bloomberg says it is only appropriate that the city that gave us rock legends including Blondie and Paul Simon should house an annex to the original Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Singer-songwriter and New York-native Billy Joel, who was also at the news conference announcing the planned museum, said, “New York gave me my words and my music, and rock and roll gave me a place for that music to live.”

Rock on, New York. The new museum is expected to boost tourism and create new jobs within the city.

The Abaco Club is a fractional ownership resort that is part of the Ritz-Carlton Club and will be a Ritz-Carlton managed resort.

The three tiers represent ownership of timeshare points in the amounts of 500 points; 1,000; and 1,500. In a press release issued last week by Ritz Carlton, the company explained the value of the points like this: “For instance, a Member could elect to spend 14 nights (1,190 points) in a cliff-side cottage with the family to escape the winter chill, seven nights (280 points) in a similar cottage in summer while the kids are on vacation and four nights (30 points) in a cabana in the fall for a romantic getaway.”

Wyndham Championship Carries on Golfing Tradition

Although the Wyndham Championship is not one of golf’s Majors, it is still a pressure-packed event for many of the golfers in the field. The Wyndham Championship is the final tournament that gives the players a chance to pull themselves into (or hold onto) a spot among the top 144 in the FedEx Cup standings and thereby qualify for the PGA TOUR Playoffs.

The mountains of North Carolina are a popular timeshare resort destination and Greensboro itself holds a special place in golfing history as a favorite Tour-stop since the days of legendary pros, Sam Snead and Byron Nelson. Effective last year, the Greater Greensboro Open officially became the Wyndham Championship sponsored by Wyndham Resorts and Wyndham timeshare. At the time of the announcement, Wyndham’s CEO, Stephen P. Holmes explained that one of the reasons the company chose to sponsor a PGA Tour event in this location was because so many timeshare owners live in the Raleigh-Durham-Greensboro area.

North Carolina Timeshare

North Carolina timeshare offers vacation destinations from the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains in the west to the Atlantic coast beaches. Wyndham has nearly 200 hotels and resorts in North Carolina, including Wyndham timeshare at the Wyndham Resort at Fairfield Harbour, the Wyndham Resort at Fairfield Mountains, and the Wyndham Resort at Fairfield Sapphire Valley. SellMyTimeshareNOW.com has a large and attractive inventory of timeshare resales and timeshare rentals in North Carolina timeshare, Wyndham timeshares, and excellent golf timeshare resorts.

My Predictions for the Wyndham Championship and for Wyndham Timeshare Owners

As you follow the leaderboard in this week’s Wyndham Championship, look for both Jeev Singh and ViJay as possible leaders. Jeev, because his game is coming along so well right now, and ViJay, just because he is due a comeback, especially after he played so poorly last week. The course is a little shorter than many Tour venues and plays tight with Donald Ross greens, so it will favor someone who had good control of his game. Since it hasn’t been a tournament course in over 30 years, no one comes in with an advantage of having won here in the past. Other names to watch this week include Paul Casey, David Toms, and Brian Gay, as the course and the timing are right for any of these outstanding golfers.

With the stakes this high and so much talent in the field, it’s hard to call a winner, but I won’t shy away from making this prediction: Buying a Wyndham timeshare resale is an excellent way to start enjoying a lifetime of vacations at a price that is just too good to pass up. Visit SellMyTimeshareNOW.com to learn more about the great deals in timeshare resales and timeshare rentals.

Here’s an update from Padraig Harrington after winning the 2008 PGA Championship:

Our apologies to the Wyndham Palm-Aire timeshare resort, that was omitted from the blogs on the HOT 100 List for SellMyTimeshareNOW.com. Like every Wyndham timeshare, the Palm Aire promises luxurious accommodations and delightful amenities. The Palm Aire is Wyndham timeshare resort number 76, which means that numbers 76, 75, and 74 include one Florida timeshare, one Hawaii timeshare resort, and one timeshare located in Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains. So let’s take a look at HOT 100 List timeshare number 76 - the Wyndham Palm-Aire in Pompano Beach, FL.

Located in a gated community adjacent to the Palm Aire Country Club, this Florida timeshare resort is less than five miles from Atlantic Ocean beaches and less than eight miles from the city of Fort Lauderdale. The Wyndham Vacation Resort Palm-Aire was once a Fairfield timeshare.

To get to the Wyndham Palm-Aire timeshare resort, you can fly into Miami International airport, 38 miles to the south, or into the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, only 14 miles away. When you vacation at the Wyndham Palm-Aire, you are just outside the bustle and traffic of Miami yet close enough to enjoy all its high-energy clubs and entertainment when you are ready to party.

When Lady Luck is with you, take in the Pompano Park Race Track, a five-eighths of a mile harness racing track, where the horses run from January to June and October to December (less than a mile away) or the Seminole Indian Hard Rock Casino in nearby Fort Lauderdale.

The Wyndham Palm-Aire Timeshare is Ideal for a Golf Vacation

The Palm Aire Country Club offers 4 outstanding golf courses, 2 driving ranges, 2 full-service clubhouses, 3 golf academies, and 2 pro shops. This year, as is often the case with golf resorts in Florida during the summer months, the Palm Aire Country Club is offering special rates on tee-times, as well as a “Kids Play Free” offer during the months of June, July, and August (some restrictions apply). The concierge at the Palm-Aire Wyndham timeshare will be happy to help you book your tee times. And even the putt-putt golfer’s needs are covered, with an 18-hole miniature golf course on-property, at the resort.

Other sports and fitness activities include: 3 pools; a children’s pool with water slide; a state-of-the-art fitness center; tennis courts; aerobics; Pilates and yoga classes (available at an additional charge); a basketball court; and a sand volleyball court.

Your Wyndham Timeshare at Palm-Aire

This timeshare resort offers 1 and 2-bedroom timeshare condos with either kitchenettes or full kitchens, living and dining areas, and garden-view balconies or patios. This is an RCI 4-Star rated timeshare resort with much to offer if you are interested in buying timeshare or renting timeshare for your next vacation.
