timeshare news

All of us at Sell My Timeshare NOW are pretty excited to have made the Inc. 5000 List for the second year in a row, ranking 1599 out of the top 5000 privately held US companies.

If you missed our big announcement, (see: Sell My Timeshare NOW‘s newest media release) Sell My Timeshare NOW was recognized by Inc Magazine on the Inc 5000 list in the following three categories:

• Fastest growing, privately owned real estate companies nationwide: Sell My Timeshare NOW is number 21 on the Top 100 List.
• Fastest growing, privately owned Businesses in the Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA-NH metro area: Sell My Timeshare NOW is number 51 among the Top 100 List.
• Fastest growing, privately owned companies in all categories in the state of New Hampshire: Sell My Timeshare NOW is number 13 on the Top 100 List.

But what we didn’t realize as we were celebrating, is how much better our lives (and our ranking on the Inc. 5000 List) might be, if only we could be mentioned on the Oprah Show.

• Galaxy Desserts of Richmond, California, was not ranked on Inc.’s prestigious list until after being mentioned on Oprah, multiple times. This year the specialty desert company ranks 2297.
• LightWedge Booklights went from non-ranked to 1609, thanks to a mention on Oprah.
• James Ray International, a company that ranks 479 on the Inc. 500 List, saw their sales increase by 376 percent after a mention on Oprah.
• And, the company that ranks number 708 on the Inc. 5000 List, Ecobags.com, saw their sales triple after being mentioned on Oprah’s Earth Day episode.

And according to the experts at Inc. Magazine, these are only a few of the companies that are on either the Inc. 500 or the Inc 5000 Lists and also have benefited by exposure on the Oprah Show.

…Which just makes you wonder if Oprah would be interested in buying or renting timeshare? And until we find out the answer to that, we will just have to go on calling ourselves “Sell My Timeshare NOW, the global leader in the advertising and marketing of timeshare resale and timeshare rental—but as not yet seen on Oprah.”

Again this year, Sell My Timeshare NOW has earned the honor of being a part of the prestigious Inc. 5000 List. Of the more than 7 million businesses, only the 5000 fastest growing, privately held companies (that also meet additional criteria regarding revenues, etc.) make the list, with Sell My Timeshare NOW ranking as number 1599 overall.

We also ranked:

• Number 13 on the Top 100 List for fastest growing, privately owned companies in all categories in the state of New Hampshire.
• Number 21 on the Top 100 List for fastest growing, privately owned real estate companies nationwide.
• Number 51 among the fastest growing, privately owned Top 100 Businesses in the Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA-NH metro area.

Sell My Timeshare NOW, Embodies Entrepreneurial Spirit Combined with American Hard Work and Ingenuity

Since we started in 2003, Sell My Timeshare NOW has grown from three employees to more than 160 and we have seen our revenues triple between 2005 and 2008 (the evaluation period for the 2009 Inc. 5000 Awards). The companies on the Inc. 5000 list have, since their founding, been responsible for creating more than 1 million jobs. Inc. Magazine describes Sell My Timeshare NOW and the other companies that made the list as “America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs” and possibly the best example of the impact private, fast-growing companies can have on the economy.

While not all of the companies on the Inc 5000 List are small businesses, every single one of them started out that way. And as Brian Headd wrote in The Small Business Advocate published by the US government’s Small Business Administration:

“Small Businesses Most Likely to Lead Economic Recovery … While recent job losses are widespread, small businesses’ historical overall rate of net job creation makes them a key player in solving our labor market woes.”

You know what they say, “If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.” In our troubled economic environment, Sell My Timeshare NOW is proud to be part of the solution, and in our own small way, part of America’s outlook for better days ahead.

Is it possible that the city with the most timeshares could soon gain another 1400 timeshare units?

A new Orlando timeshare certainly seems to be in the works. A Flushing, New York-based company has been given the go-ahead on a proposed plan to develop 19.2 acres of land along Orlando’s busy International Drive tourist area. This new Orlando timeshare project includes two currently undeveloped parcels, and an existing 94-room hotel (the Monumental Hotel) which is scheduled to be destroyed.

Last year, developer Show-Lain Cheng received approval for the project from Orange County (Orlando, Florida) for zoning and conceptual plans. On August 4, the project authorized the development team to start on storm water and architectural design, plans that should be ready for submission for county review by mid-September.

The Orlando Business Journal says this is a $500 million timeshare project to be known as Zena based on the property’s Buddhist Zen theme. Construction is planned in phases, but upon completion will include a fitness center, tennis courts, bowling alley, Wii rooms, and retail space. Developer Cheng says, “We will offer comfort, relaxation, and tranquility.” She also told the Tampa Bay Business Journal, that timing of the project will be influenced by the economy and that construction could begin as early as next year or be delayed for several years.

Orlando Timeshare along International Drive

Geographically, all of International Drive is a tourist hub, home to hotels, shops, restaurants, and themed entertainment. This particular location is especially convenient to SeaWorld Orlando. Two outstanding Orlando timeshare resorts already in the popular International Drive area include the Hilton Grand Vacation Club at SeaWorld and Sheraton’s Vistana Resort timeshare.

Marriott Vacation Club International (Marriott Timeshare) has expanded the Napili Villas as part of the final expansion phase scheduled for Maui Ocean Club Hawaii timeshares.


A total of 71 new two and three-bedroom timeshare villas are part of the expansion, along with a sports court, new swimming pool area with bar, and a fitness center. These beautiful Hawaii timeshares include fully furnished kitchens, Wi-Fi access, luxury showers, and multiple flat-panel televisions.

Marriott Timeshare Resales on the Beach

With opportunities in Maui Ocean Club timeshare resales starting at under $10,000, Hawaii timeshare at this elegant Ka’anapali Beach resort property has never been more affordable. The beautiful beach was once a favorite vacation destination of Hawaiian kings and is an ideal spot for you to plan a “royal” Hawaii timeshare vacation.

Adjacent to the Ka’anapali Golf Club, your Hawaii timeshare vacation at the Napili Villas puts you in an ideal location for experiencing the thrill of golf at this PGA Tour Stop (former home of the EMC Ka’anapali Classic Golf Tournament) and the 2008 venue for the Big Break Ka’anapali.
