Renting Pet Friendly Timeshares Now More Popular Than Ever March 23, 2010
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Bluegreen Resorts, Disney, General, Hilton Grand Vacation, Marriott Timeshares, New Features, News & Events, RCI, silverleaf, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Westgate Timeshares, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentIf you agree that when on vacation your pets require the same quality accommodations as we do, you will be happy to know that there are dozens of resorts available. You do not have to rely on friends and family or a kennel service to care of your furry companions. BuyATimeshare.com has dozens of pet friendly timeshare resorts in inventory. Included is a list: arranged by exchange companies Interval International (II) and Resort Condominiums International (RCI).
As an important part of our family, pet friendly resorts are becoming popular throughout the world. Often a necessity among today’s mobile population, BuyATimeshare.com can find the pet friendly vacation to suite a large family or an intimate getaway. The needs of a pet vary and there are some details to consider when planning your next vacation:
Make sure there is enough room for pets to play at the destination. A dog needs room to roam, walk, and… vacation. Nearby trails or mountains, fields and ponds are all great for dogs. Urban settings may be more suited for cats and small dogs as the bustle of a city may be too much for some dogs.
If your pet has a medical condition, they may need extra consideration. Vacationing far from home may not be the best choice for pets with illness, or limited. Always contact the resort to inquire about any breed or weight restrictions when planning a vacation.
When traveling abroad, it is important to plan well-ahead of time. If vacationing in another country, be sure to contact both the airline and the resort to learn all about their pet regulations. Some airlines allow pets as carry-on, it is important to research all guidelines before booking.
Well-socialized dogs that enjoy meeting new friends and exploring new environments will typically like a vacation away. An aggressive or nervous temperament may not be best to travel. Sometimes traveling is not the best way for your pet to vacation. Before making reservation, determine the resort’s rules about pets.
Establish communication with the resort and understand what “Pet Friendly” means to them. Often times the pets are welcome in the suites, sometimes it means there is simply onsite kennel service. Expect a “pet deposit” to cover any potential damages to the resort. Remember that Pet Friendly is for your convenience and is not for everyone; make sure it is not too much for your pet to travel.

Wesley Kogelman Returns to the Mike Bonacorsi Radio Show January 5, 2010
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : Bluegreen Resorts, Customer Comments, Disney, General, Marriott Timeshares, RCI, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Wyndham Timeshares , 1 comment so farReturning to the Mike Bonacorsi Radio Show was BuyATimeshare.com president Wesley Kogelman live to discuss timeshares as a financially beneficial opportunity. As his first conversation with Mike explored points-based timeshare systems and the use of exchange companies, his most recent broadcast discussed demographics of buyers and current trends in the industry.
Mike Bonacorsi, a Certified Financial Planner, broadcasts his show every Tuesday at noon Eastern Standard Time on WSMN Radio AM 1590 or online at http://www.wsmnradio.com/ and on his website http://www.mikebonacorsi.com/. His show is based on his award winning book, “Retirement Readiness; Creating Your Vision, Knowing Your Position, & Preparing for Your Future”, and his twenty years of experience in the financial world has provided listeners with a wealth of information.
First touching on the current demographics of timeshare owners and buyers, the two compared the cost of vacation homes vs. timeshare ownership. Kogelman explained that contrary to a vacation home, the use of a timeshare suite can often cut lodging costs in third when traveling. They discuss some of the recent changes in the hotel industry, such as the use of ‘points’ and exchange companies like RCI or Interval International to provide a flexibility that can match today’s traveling trends.
In addition, Kogelman revealed his plans for a new office opening in Las Vegas. Just as Tampa, the birthplace of BuyATimeshare.com, is a vacation hot-spot immersed in fractional and timeshare ownerships, Las Vegas continues to be a major destination. All big brands have been established in Vegas for decades, with millions of people returning each year.
Kogelman explained the many benefits of the secondary market for timeshare resales and rentals, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of timeshare ownership and rentals. Listeners have discovered the benefits of working with BuyATimeshare.com for resales and rentals. The Live Chat feature on the website is a spectacular feature created to equally educate both buyer and renter about timeshares and the secondary market.
Over the past ten years of business, BuyATimeshare.com strives to continually educate the community of timeshare owners, renters, and buyers. With press releases, radio shows, and the utilization of newer technologies such as Twitter and Facebook, the firm is dedicated to accessible marketing and open communication between the industry and its consumers.

Disney Vacation Club Unveils First West Coast Timeshare Property! October 13, 2009
Posted by JConnolly in : Disney, General, News & Events, Travel , add a commentWhile many timeshare developers are stopping progress on new construction projects, Disney Vacation Club is expanding to better accommodate their clients in the United States. DVC has had many properties near to Disneyworld in Florida, however DVC timeshare owners wishing to visit Disneyland in Anaheim, California have been ignored, until now! At the end of September, DVC opened the doors of the new Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa!
The timeshare units feature 50 well-appointed villas ranging from studios to two story three bedroom grand villas accommodating up to twelve travelers. With little extras like flat panel televisions and rich oak furnishings, these units are sure to meet and exceed the Disney standard. Resort amenities include the Mandara Spa, a fitness center, the Napa Rose Lounge with California wines and a tiled fireplace, the Hearthstone Lounge bar filled with stained glass pieces, three themed swimming pools, Pinocchio’s Workshop for children, an arcade, barbeque grills and picnic areas, golf and tennis, and a vast array of guest activities.
This new development is part of Disney Vacation Club’s latest expansion targeting West Coast clients. Currently, about 86 percent of the 400,000 plus DVC members live east of the Mississippi River, but the new Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa is the first push to expand the clientele. Additionally, DVC is building a 830 room resort in Hawaii, scheduled to open in 2011, with 480 of the rooms scheduled as timeshare units.
Remember, by buying resale you can save thousands over resort pricing. Check out the Disney Vacation Club resale units on BuyATimeshare.com here!

More Defaulted Timeshare Loans Paid by Disney August 11, 2009
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : Disney, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel , add a commentBuying back more than $280 million in outstanding loans, Disney has been able to preserve a credit agreement between its timeshare sector and Citigroup.
Citigroup, which own over $400 million of vacation club loans, stopped purchasing mortgages from Disney in December of 2008 in reaction to the tightening credit market conditions and the looming recession. The Original deal between Citigroup and Disney mandated the developer to cover 18% of losses if buyers default on loans that were already sold to Disney. This year’s negotiations upped the ante to 70%.
And while these high-stakes negotiations are necessary to keep many timeshares going; these risks are not necessary to maintain the timeshare resale market. With for-sale-by-owner advertising, there is no sales staff to persuade buyers, since the consumer is already looking to buy. With no hidden fees or commission, our state of the art advertising brings buyers and renters together.
Are you looking sell an inexpensive Disney getaway? BuyATimeshare.com, with its unbeatable timeshare resale market, will expose your property to millions of folks looking for just that.
The Most Valuable Timeshare Advertising in the World June 16, 2009
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : Disney, General, Marriott Timeshares, RCI, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentThere are thousands of Timeshare resale companies around the world that will advertise your property; but only a chosen few can really provide the global exposure necessary to successfully sell your timeshare. Only BuyATimeshare.com, however, has the services in place to handle the entire process.
BuyATimeshare.com gets it right the first time. Our staff is dedicated to providing the best advertising to timeshare owners from around the world. Over 300,000 satisfied buyers, renters and sellers love the convenience and advertising might of BuyATimeshare.com.
Owners are often looking to get back what they paid for their timeshare. On the resale market owners typically won’t get back what they initially paid. The most valuable services will charge an upfront fee. Newspapers, phonebooks and magazine advertising all charge a non-refundable fee and wont target timeshare buyers specifically.
Brokers aren’t necessarily the best option, and typically it isn’t an option at all in regards to timeshare resales. Advertising reaches a worldwide marketplace of timeshare buyers and can guarantee a commission-free sale. Despite today’s economy, owners like what they have and continue to use timeshares every day.
Aggressively pricing your vacation property will attract a buyer. Selling it off for thousands of dollars less than what you first paid is what will get that property sold! Advertising the property will cost you a lot less than any other avenue and depending on who you chose to market your property, it will sell!
BuyATimeshare.com is the leading name in timeshare resales. We are one of the only businesses to charge a one time Advertising fee with a money back guarantee! Your timeshare will remain advertised until sold! No magazine will promise that!
Ritz Carlton Moves to Points June 9, 2009
Posted by Jason Dobbins in : Disney, General, New Features, Ritz Carlton, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource , add a commentRitz Carlton Hotel Co. added a destination club option on April 28th. Instead of locking investors into a specific destination they are allowing investors to purchase points packages which allow them to own interest in several vacation properties. This will allow and investor in the Ritz Carlton point package to travel to all Ritz’s properties worldwide.
The cost of these packages will cost from the low $100,000 to $800,000. This strategy is similar to one used by the less pricey Disney Vacation Club. Investors in both programs are able to use points like a currency which allows them to buy their vacation time.
In past Ritz Carlton owners would own a specific resort and should attract more people who don’t want to be an owner of a single resort. “Points give you much more flexibility.” said David Short, Ritz-Carlton Destination Club’s regional vice president of sales. “They allow people to customize each trip to their own needs.”
