GREETINGS FROM LAKE TAHOE!
| Expert Advice from Timeshare Junkies |
 |
Steven and Marilyn are self-confessed "timeshare
junkies". They own 24 weeks of timeshare and they
use them all every year. It all started in 1983 when the
couple was invited to a brunch while vacationing in San
Francisco. They always enjoyed staying at the
Fairmont Hotel and decided to purchase their first
timeshare at San Francisco Suites, located about one
block away. In 1985, Steven and Marilyn took another
tour while on vacation in Hawaii. They soon decided to
buy a timeshare on the Island of Kauai. After this
second purchase from a developer, the savvy couple
learned the most important lesson in buying
timeshares: ALWAYS BUY ON THE RESALE MARKET
FROM A REPUTABLE COMPANY LIKE PARADISE
TIMESHARE RESALE. You
will save 40 to 80% off the developer price! Steven
and Marilyn visited the Paradise office during their
current vacation in Lake Tahoe. "We found the
Paradise employees to be very accommodating and
they went out of their way to please us. We have
already recommended Paradise to our friends."
This friendly couple found they really liked the
affordability and high quality vacations their timeshares
provided at five-star resorts. They quickly added three
more weeks in Hawaii so they could have a fixed
vacation to celebrate the holidays with family and
friends every December and January. They soon
purchased more weeks in Hawaii along with timeshares
in Lake Tahoe, Pacific Grove, Del Mar and Las Vegas.
Now that Steve is retired, they spend a full 12 weeks
in Hawaii every winter. In the summertime, you can find
them relaxing in a lakefront cabin on the shores of
beautiful Lake Tahoe. It is truly a first-class lifestyle.
How much does all this luxury cost? "Our maintenance
fees are $13,000 per year which works out to about
$77 per day. We feel this is a fair price to stay in the
finest suites with all the comforts of home plus the
amenities of the best resorts."
Steven and Marilyn were happy to share the knowledge
gained during their 22 years as timeshare owners. "The
number one rule is to only buy what you are going to
use. Second, purchase only high demand weeks in
prime season at the finest resorts. This is extremely
important when it comes time to exchange. The
exchange companies are calling us constantly for our
weeks!" Steven and Marilyn recommend that you stay
at a resort before you buy. "This way you really get a
feel for the property, the staff and all the facilities. We
like to play tourist and try all of the activities." Be sure
to learn about day use privileges and cleaning policies.
They often exchange a week to a new resort and if
they like it, they find the best deal on the resale
market and make a purchase. In fact, they have done
such a good job researching the resorts they own,
they have never sold one of their timeshares! Steven
and Marilyn like to buy deeded timeshares versus
leasehold timeshares. They definitely do not like owning
points. "It practically takes an Act of Congress to book
a partial week with points."
These timeshare junkies recommend that you get to
know the manager and staff at your resort. "Remember
that a few dollars tip can go a long way." They both
agree that the biggest problem with owning a
timeshare is making the reservations. "When the
developers tell you that you will always be able to get
your preferred week or book at the last minute, don't
believe them. You have to become an expert at this
game to make sure you get the desired weeks." They
prefer resorts that handle their own reservations and
like to make advance reservations while staying on the
property if possible. "Make sure you mark the calendar
to call on the first day that you can reserve the week
that you want." Thanks to Steven and Marilyn for
sharing their expertise. Please call 1-800-996-2001 or

Thank you for reading our newsletter. Since 1989,
Paradise Timeshare Resale has been the undisputed
leader in timeshare resales at Lake Tahoe. However,
most of our timeshare clients do not realize that
Paradise is also a full service real estate office. We will
save you thousands of dollars when buying or selling a
vacation home in Lake Tahoe or the Carson Valley.
2005 is proving to be another robust year for real
estate here in South Lake Tahoe. The median sales
price for a single-family home has increased an amazing
21% during the first six months from $379,000 to
$460,000. It has truly been a seller's market, especially
for homes priced under $500,000. This high demand is
fueled by the insatiable thirst for the Lake Tahoe
vacation lifestyle. Many of these buyers are purchasing
a vacation or second home that also serves as a great
investment. The sharp increase in prices has spurred
many homeowners to put their residences up for sale.
Currently, there is a high inventory of listings and some
asking prices have been reduced. This represents an
excellent buying opportunity that will last for only a
few weeks.
If you have ever considered buying a home
in the Lake Tahoe area, I invite you to call me
personally at 530-318-1945. I will show you how you
can trade in your Lake Tahoe timeshare and make the
perfect investment for your family's future.
