Negotiating an II contract for a resort. I have lots of questions.

Point well taken, Spence.

I know that the Pres and the other member do not read these boards. Neither goes out of their way to find out information like this. The management company has one guy that might peek now and then. The old pres may stop in, but I have never seen a post by him. I guess I am not really worried. I already accused them of being complacent in an email last year. They know how I feel: That is how I feel.

Cindy, I don't belong to any board but I know this for a fact. You, as a timeshare owner cannot be stopped from exchanging with any exchange company of your choice but it is the other exchange company that may not want to take the week you have.

Here are some examples for a few timeshare units we own. I once asked the Buganvilias in PV if I could deposit my week at SFX and they said no but I know that it is done all the time because they can't stop you! This person I talked to obviously didn't know the rules.

I also asked the Maui Sunset in HI and this resort only deals with RCI but he told me that we can exchange with anyone we want to and it is done too.

I also asked the Laguna Surf. This resort is affiliated with three exchange companies so no problem here but our manager told us that all owners of every resort can exchange with every exchange company. This lady is employed by Wyndham (Fairfield Management before) so it is not Wyndham or RCI who are stopping us from doing this and your resort cannot either. I once called another exchange company and they offered to take my week too for a unit in Hawaii with our Maui Sunset.

You need an attorney who handles real estate and contract law and your HOA will see the light or they may be sued by some members and that would be expensive. Try to educate your timeshare owners.
