Greetings from Your Friends at Lake Tahoe!
| Correction Regarding Marriott Benefits |
 |
Last month we did an article about benefits when you
buy a Marriott Timber Lodge timeshare on the resale
market. The incentive for the story was all of the
misinformation and outright lies currently being
circulated about Marriott benefits to discourage new
buyers from the resale market. It is true that the
benefits are not exactly the same. If you purchase
your Marriott timeshare on the resale market, you may
not exchange for Marriott Hotel Points. However, this is
not to your advantage. You have to exchange your
prime week, seven nights in a luxurious one or two
bedroom villa for two to four nights in a hotel room.
You are also required to pay a fee to make this
unfavorable transaction. Is this really a benefit?
When you buy a Marriott timeshare brokered by
Paradise Real Estate and Timeshare Resale, you will
receive all of the major benefits. You can request a
specific unit or location for your timeshare week. You
can exchange your week with Interval International (II)
and choose from more than 2000 fabulous resorts
around the world. You can exchange your timeshare
with first priority at other five-star Marriott properties.
Paradise Timeshare Resale has been reselling Marriott
timeshares for over 17 years. You can rest assured
that all owners are treated alike, regardless of how
they acquired their timeshare. Can you imagine Marriott
restricting the resale of their timeshares? It would be
like a car dealer saying that you could only resell your
car back to that dealership and nowhere else.
Please call one of our friendly timeshare agents at 1-
800-996-2001 if you have any questions at all about
benefits at the Marriott Timber Lodge or Marriott Grand
Residence Club.

| Sellers: Avoid Upfront Appraisal or Listing Fees! |
|
It is very sad to hear the frequent stories from
timeshare sellers who paid an upfront fee and received
nothing in return. Some have paid as much as $699 to
thieves disguised as timeshare resale brokers. They will
lure you in with an exorbitant sales price that is well
above the true resale value of your timeshare. They
will gladly take your money, usually disguised as
nonrefundable appraisal or listing fees, then do
absolutely nothing to market your timeshare outside of
posting it on their web site. Regrettably, it is these
types of companies that give timeshare resale a bad
reputation.
Keep in mind that an appraisal is nothing more than an
estimate of the resale value of your timeshare. A
successful timeshare real estate broker like Paradise
has a record of recent sales at your resort and knows
the current market value for your timeshare. If you
purchased your timeshare from a developer instead of
on the resale market, this number will likely be
considerably less than what you paid. The
unscrupulous timeshare companies will actually invite
you to call Paradise and get a quote. That makes them
look better when they claim to be able to get
thousands more for your timeshare. Here is the bottom
line: an honest timeshare resale company will never
charge an up front fee!
The only sure way to protect yourself is to list your
timeshare with a licensed broker like Paradise Real
Estate & Timeshare Resale that never charges an
upfront fee and collects their commission at the close
of escrow. Since 1989, we have been the leader in
Lake Tahoe timeshare resales. We spend a fortune
marketing our listings to potential timeshare buyers.
Please call one of our friendly timeshare experts at 1-
800-996-2001 for a free, no obligation quote on the
true resale value of your timeshare.

Thank you for reading our newsletter. Here is an
update on the progress of the Convention Center
project in South Lake Tahoe. The South Lake Tahoe
City Council - Redevelopment Agency approved the
$410 million complex on July 11. The Tahoe Regional
Planning Agency (TRPA) gave their approval on July
26. The developer, Lake Tahoe Development
Corporation has acquired 29 of the 34 parcels in the
11.36-acre project area in California, adjacent to the
Nevada State Line and Harvey's Lake Tahoe Casino
Resort. The owners of the five remaining parcels are
still holding out. This includes the lot where the
Paradise main office is located. We lease this space
and do not own the property.
On September 6, the South Lake Tahoe Redevelopment
Agency took the first step towards using eminent
domain to acquire these five parcels. They unanimously
approved five resolutions to buy the land on Lake
Tahoe Boulevard and Friday Avenue. This property is
estimated to be worth at least $8.5 million. Lake Tahoe
Development Corporation will reimburse the city of
South Lake Tahoe if eminent domain is used to acquire
the land. One of the landowners has pledged a legal
fight if the city does follow through with eminent
domain. This legal taking of private property by
government to eliminate blight in a community is being
challenged in California on November's election ballot.
Meanwhile, structures on some of the 29 parcels
acquired have already been scraped. Motels and
businesses are closing. You can rest assured that
Paradise Real Estate & Timeshare Resale will continue
to provide top-notch service to our clients throughout
this change. We will remain in our current office for as
long as possible. When the time comes for us to move,
we will give you plenty of notice. All of our telephone
numbers will remain the same.
If you would like to read more about the convention
Center project, please see our
July issue.
