As with other non-cash donations the IRS allows you to deduct up to $5,000 for a timeshare donation without needing an independent appraisal. For deductions exceeding $5,000 the taxpayer must provide a certified appraisal. Our broker is licensed to appraise timeshares or you can use a valuation web site such as TRI-WEST Real Estate.

Most timeshares do not have a resale market to speak of in this economy. However, we can generally accept a donation of these same timeshares on a direct transfer basis provided we know we can transfer it out of your name. If for some unusual reason we are unable to complete the transfer, unless otherwise agreed in writing, we will simply refund any paid-in fees and discontinue the transfer process.

Yes. We will only accept a Timeshare Donation on a direct transfer basis if we know it can be transferred based on prior experience.

We use only experienced third-party title and transfer companies that specialize in timeshare transfers and attorneys experienced with timeshare closings in those locations where an attorney is required.

The transfer process typically takes 60 to 90 days but varies depending on resort and county responsiveness for domestic transfers, and any special requirements for international transfers.

Donors are responsible for paying off any outstanding mortgages and past due maintenance fees and special assessments, and keeping these current throughout the donation process.

The closing and administrative costs associated with a timeshare donation vary by resort and transfer method. If there is a resale market for your timeshare the donor cost is minimal or even zero.

We accept both deeded and right-to-use timeshare donations in all 50 states, Mexico, Canada, The Caribbean Islands and many other parts of the world.
