2007 proved to be another record-breaking year for Sell My Timeshare NOW. We set new highs for website traffic, number of unique visitors to our site, revenues and both the dollar amount and the quantity of offers to rent timeshare or to buy timeshare.

2008 will be an interesting year for the economy and the nation. America is facing one of the most unpredictable presidential elections in years. Consumers and businesses stand poised to march forward or push the panic button on their finances. Everyone waits to see what impact recent cuts by the Federal Reserve, the Wall Street rollercoaster, the slowing job market, and the dismal real estate market will have on their personal financial situation.

However, if 2008 follows the path of 2007, it will prove to be both a good year to sell timeshare and a good year to buy timeshare. Timeshares always attract people who are looking to reduce their vacation costs. Timeshare resales offer a way to create a hedge against inflation by locking in today’s vacation lodging costs. People who were considering buying new timeshare from a developer will be paying attention to the great values timeshare resellers can offer. All of which should spell relief for timeshare owners who want to sell timeshare and get out from under their annual fees and commitments as they pare down their household budgets.

Sell My Timeshare NOW is a timeshare advertising and timeshare marketing company; it is also a genuine win-win solution for people who want to buy timeshare and those who want to rent or sell timeshare.

J. W. “Bill” Marriott is the well-known president, CEO, and family heir of the Marriott International Corporation, which includes Marriott hotels, Marriott timeshare, and numerous related hospitality and management companies. Always a highly visible leader in the business world, Bill Marriott is recently making his voice heard in politics as the 2008 presidential election continues to heat up.

In a speech delivered on January 17, Marriott called for presidential candidates to, “move to a sober discussion of immigration reform.”

“We need to cool the rhetoric and work together to come up with a federal solution,” Marriott said, emphasizing the current problem employers have attempting to comply with a diversity of immigration laws that vary from state to state.

According to Marriott, “With expected growth, the hospitality industry alone will need an additional 300,000 workers in the next several years…We need immigrant workers in our economy and we need to create a workable verification system so that employers like us know that they’re hiring people who are authorized to work.”

In his speech, Bill Marriott called for the removal of barriers to global travel saying that visa and entry systems needed to be more efficient and customer-friendly or the US loses the opportunity to attract more visitors, stating that, “Bottom line, travel is trade.”

In this YouTube video, Bill Marriott talks about the need for immigration reform and other points related to the economy and the hotel and timeshare resorts industry.

People who use the smaller timeshare exchange companies frequently give them accolades for the personalized service they receive; yet many timeshare owners still don’t realize that RCI (Resort Condominiums International) and Interval International are not the only options in timeshare resort exchange.

The San Francisco Exchange Company, also known as SFX Preferred Resorts, has recently purchased a new purpose-built office building in Alameda, CA to serve as their corporate headquarters. They may be a smaller company, but they are definitely moving forward in growth mode.

Mel Grant, president and CEO of SFX Timeshare Resort Exchange says, “With 150,000 members, and as a result of current and anticipated future growth, it has become necessary to acquire more space giving us the ‘capacity’ for further expansion.”

The timeshare company’s official press release states, “SFX is not a replacement for other exchange companies. Rather, it is positioned as an “added layer” of premium service, which resorts use effectively in addition to their formal affiliation.”

As SFX Timeshare Resort Exchange has grown, they have added a division to focus on fractionals. The Fractional Collection is a subsidiary of SFX Preferred Resorts. SFX believes that because they focus on high-end timeshares, high-end fractionals are a natural extension of their services. The Fractional Collection will also be housed in the company’s new Alameda offices.

According to SFX Timeshare Resort Exchange, many informed consumers will not purchase a timeshare unless they know it qualifies for exchange through SFX, because SFX attracts the only high-end resort brands. The timeshare exchange company’s website describes their services in this way, “Regardless of any resorts exchange company affiliation, individual timeshare Owners own the rights to their time and can request the service of any exchange company willing to accept their weeks for exchange. SFX allowed Owners to exercise this right to its fullest, a never before realized value.”

On one of the nation’s top 10 beaches, in Siesta Key, Florida, Hyatt Vacation Club timeshare is developing a fractional ownership resort, which they say is unlike timeshare ownership.

The resort will front 300 feet of Crescent Beach and will offer 44 furnished vacation condos ranging from 1600 square feet to 2600 square feet with privleges at the adjoining beach club. To be known as the Hyatt Siesta Key Beach resort, the vacation ownership property will offer valet parking, a concierge, pool, spa, and fitness center with massage treatment rooms.

Larry Shulman, senior vice president for Hyatt Vacation Ownership, Inc, says, “We have every reason to believe through an early survey we’ve done (that) there’ll be a very significant local contingent of owners more likely to purchase in summertime rather than wintertime.”

In the first phase of occupancy, 11 vacation condo units will be sold as fractional ownership residences. As Shulman explains, “Effectively, there’ll be eight owners of each residence.” Occupancy is expected by 2009.

Hyatt Vacation Club timeshare has similar properties in Bonita Springs, Florida, and in Aspen, Beaver Creek and Breckenridge, Colorado, as well as at Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
