Safe Hands Transfers legit?

[Jay Orlauski]

Hi everyone, I've got a timeshare from about 12 years ago that I never use. We tried to list it a few years ago and paid an upfront fee to have it listed and advertised. It was never sold. Once the initial selling contract expired , they wanted more money to continue listing it. We chose not too and have never tried to sell it again.

We recently received a flyer from a company called Safe Hands transfers that promises to relieve you of your time share with no upfront costs and even claims to pay your fees while in transfer. I've googled them and have not found too much info about them other than some people have claimed to asked for payment up front - yet their website and printed materials are driven by claims of no upfront fees or listing fees. The number gets you an appointment with someone - I am very suspicious of this company and wanted your opinions as to whether anyone has ever dealt with them before.

A more pressing question might be - does anyone know of any legitimate ways/ companies that can help me get rid of these timeshares?

If you can afford to, make arrangements to use your week.
While your at the resort, try and sell it to any of the vacationers/owners, at a huge discount to the normal selling price.

Do you still owe money on the timeshare?

If not, donate it to an organization of your choice.
Some will take it, and some will not.

Good luck!
