1st Class AAA Disney Timeshare Resales Insiders Newsletter with tips
to save you money, time, aggravation, and even tears.
Good News and Warning Advisory If
you're like many families, you're probably wondering just about now if you'll ever again
be able to afford the first-class vacations you deserve. Well, here's good news and a
warning. The good news is that you can save money buying a Disney
timeshare resale. Owners get older, sick, divorce, pass on, and so forth. Many
of the best buys are estate sales. Here is the warning. As of January, 2008
there were over a hundred Web sites offering resale timeshare in one form or another. Many state Attorneys General
and Licensing Board authorities are very concerned that some of the less than upright
sales practices that plagued the early days of timeshare may now proliferate on the Web. Several years ago I was contacted by the Department of Professional
Regulation (DPR) for the state of Florida where I am a licensed real estate broker/Realtor,
certified real estate instructor, and state certified
contractor. I have been licensed for more than 25-years. The Florida DPR was routinely investigating
timeshare resale companies on the Web to see if they were in compliance. Many are
apparently not obeying the laws. I am in total compliance with all rules, laws, and
regulations. I even post a hot link to the Florida Timeshare Act and revisions on my
Resource Library page. You can jump to this important document at the bottom of this page
when you finish the newsletter. The Florida statute is considered the model that most
other states follow. I sincerely want everyone to know their rights and to be protected in
their purchase, their right of cancellation, review of documents, disclosure of fees and
assessments, and so forth. Useful Insider Information I
have teamed up with a network of ethical, hard working Disney timeshare resale brokers to offer you an
exciting and exclusive vacation opportunity. You may want to know a little something about
me, Tropical Lee. And why I passionately believe in the absolute and crucial importance of
first-class, yet affordable, family vacations. You'll find the important information I'm sharing here to be extremely
helpful to you. It's based on my extensive insider's knowledge of the
hospitality and vacation industry.
My insider's expertise has been gained from more than twenty-five years in the resort real
estate, hotel, and vacation business. I have extensive experience as a developer; a real estate broker in
Florida and North Carolina; owner of a rental management company specializing in vacation
villas and timeshares with multiple offices in the North Carolina mountains, and a
vacation and second home builder in Florida and North Carolina. I was also a sales director at two major resorts working for one of the
world's largest vacation ownership companies and, most recently, a consultant to a number
of national developers. I am a recognized authority in the area of vacation ownership and
vacation rentals. You will find me listed on the Web under "Who's Who in
Timeshare". *************P e r s o n a l N o t
e************* Tropical Lee is also a widely published, award-winning
writer/photographer... "How I got my Nickname" Writing is really an exciting, fun hobby. I've been fortunate, as E. Lee
Reid, to have my articles appear in a variety of magazines ranging from Four Wheeler
and Florida Sportsman, to Field & Stream…. It was while bouncing about in the brush doing research and photos for
these articles that my friends nicknamed me Tropical Lee. I was deeply tanned and often
wore a Panama hat. That, coupled, I suppose, with several rather dicey, real-life
experiences in the Florida wilds, and offshore on the Gulf Stream. Some Scary Moments... ...Like being in a twelve-foot fiberglass boat one night on the St. Johns
River when it was attacked by a fifteen-foot alligator that chomped a hole in the boat's
bottom near my feet. ...Or drifting all night five miles offshore in the Florida straits in a
small, open fishing boat to take a photograph of a tag-and-release swordfish. ...Or being one of the first on the scene with a team of scientists from
the Smithsonian during the suicide beaching of 200 Pilot whales at Ft. George inlet north
of Jacksonville, Florida. When friends yelled, "Hey! Tropical Lee! What's going on?" they
really wanted to know. I made it my business to know where the action was. I've enjoyed sharing my experiences with international audiences through
my writings… perhaps even with you in your country and hometown. If you would like
copies of any of my articles I will be happy to send them to you at no charge. *********************************************************
What Concerns Us Today A
Gallup poll conducted in July 2006 found that most people are very concerned about, you
guessed it, money. The single biggest reason by far that married couples fight is, right
again, disagreements over $$$ money.
Or, as one friend puts it, "My wife complains constantly because we
don't have enough money, and I complain constantly because we did...before the new mall
opened!" The same widely followed and respected July Gallup poll discovered that
when people were asked what they "miss most that their parents had?" the big,
overwhelming response was; "family vacations". All of us are faced with a challenge as we enter the 21st century. In
our high tech, sometimes hard-nosed world, we need high-touch, high-quality vacation time
with our families. Reliable Information Needed
We also need a foundation of reliable information to help us
make fully informed, rational decisions about the vacations that are best suited to our
family needs. Only after a fully informed and rational decision can we then enjoy the
deeply emotional, rewarding experiences of family vacations. We will then have eliminated
spur-of-the-moment, often highly regretful and costly decisions, ruling the way we may
waste scarce and important vacation budgets. I have really made it easy for you to enjoy
your family's vacations, as you'll soon see. Quality Vacation Time is an Absolute Family Must
The importance of wholesome recreation and taking regular,
yearly family vacations cannot be overstated. The question of vacationing becomes not
"if", but the "best way" for your family to pay for and enjoy a
lifetime of vacations. I have two great sons; Scott who is
26 and
Ryan who is 24. They also have a great mother. Sue has a real estate office
located just beyond the horse stables on US 64 next to Sapphire Valley..
www.suereidrealty.com Stop by and say
hello the next time you're visiting Fairfield Sapphire Valley. All of us cherish many precious vacation
memories… at the beach, and skiing in the mountains. Yes, these family vacation
memories help build a rock-solid foundation of trust and love. Scott graduated from Florida State University and is now a
Realtor in Tampa and Orlando. He was honored in 2007 by the National Association
of Realtors as one of the "Top 30 Under 30" Realtors in the nation. Ryan
graduated from North Carolina State University and is now an independent real
estate investor, and a top producer with BandWidth.com in Raleigh. Scott has a secondary business and an e-commerce website,
www.a2zcds.com where he markets CDs he has
compiled and now publishes...his company has sold more than a half-million
informational CDs to date. Ryan enjoys part-time public speaking and acting.
During college he completed a six-week work/study
program in Peru.
I'm blessed and deeply appreciate my many blessings. So-o-o-o Expensive! Is
purchasing a second home the answer to a quality vacation? Maybe... for a very few,
relatively well-to-do families who can afford $200,000 or more to purchase the home.
Then they'll pay about $2,500 to $12,500 in yearly property taxes, insurance, and home
maintenance. Should we, perhaps, buy a few weeks of vacation time from a developer in
the form of a timeshare or a vacation club? Deeded vacation ownership from a developer might be the answer. But
only if you have plenty of money and want to be almost certain of going to a
specific resort at a certain time each year. Two weeks of prime time from a developer can
easily cost more than $50,000! In terms of points programs Disney
Vacation Club Timeshares leads the way among the leaders in
this newest form of vacation ownership. Disney timeshare points allow families maximum flexibility in
where, when, how long, and in what size villa they will vacation. The
Disney timeshare points
equivalent of one week of high time vacation in a Disney two-bedroom villa is
about 250 to 450 Disney points, depending on the season. Maybe you should just make a direct call to a first-class resort that
you've seen advertised in a travel magazine. Why not rent a holiday villa when you want
it? Yes, that can work. But you'll pay retail rates; generally ranging from at least $850
to as high as $2,800 per week at many good resorts. There is also another option. Unfortunately, far too many families rely
upon staying with friends and relatives. Not a good idea. Your family needs vacation
privacy. You owe it to yourself and your family to build those quality vacation memories. There Must be a Better Way There
must be a better and more affordable answer. How can we take our families on regular, high
quality, first-class vacations without breaking open the kid's piggy bank and busting the
family budget? How you buy and use a vacation depends on several factors specific to you,
your family finances, and the present phase of your life cycle. Anyone telling you differently is probably trying to sell you their
vacation plan, rather than fitting the right piece into your family's vacation puzzle. Influencing factors may include the number and age of your vacationing
children, and also you and your family's psychological comfort relating to travel and risk
taking. You may eventually, for example, be "empty nesters", meaning
simply that your children are grown. You may be quite wealthy and able to buy a vacation
home anywhere in the world. But… your idea of a vacation blast might be buying a
$750,000 Bluebird motor home, saying bye-bye to your friends for a few weeks, and trekking
out across the country from sea-to-shining-sea on Interstate 10. You would be a true-blue
Road Warrior vacationer. Several other relevant vacationing categories relating to travel and risk
include the Cautious Travelers, World Travelers, Home Bodies, and Medical Movers.
The controlling factor of a vacation purchase will, however, always be
money...how much cold cash is in the cookie jar Genuine Vacation Value Genuine
vacation value is the best answer for the greatest number of families. What actually is
"genuine value"? I am suggesting that saving money over developer prices,
vacationing where you want, when you want, and for how long you want, in the size villa
that fits your family size at the time, really is genuine vacation value. Whether you're an "X" twenty-something, a betweener, a
senior
baby boomer, or super-senior, you deserve and should demand vacation value. Value also means you should always pay wholesale, never pay retail, and
always receive first rate goods. The real challenge confronting you when you want to buy
anything wholesale, including vacations, is that you must have an ethical and totally
dedicated, expert "insider" real estate broker working for you. Brilliant Idea...Save Cash by Buying
