Timeshare Exit FAQs

Getting out of a timeshare generally happens one of three ways: a deed-back or take-back program offered by some resorts, a resale on a very limited secondary market, or hiring an experienced timeshare exit company that includes legal representation. Be cautious of any company that demands large upfront fees with no accountability, tells you to stop making payments, or guarantees an outcome.

1. Deed-back / take-back: some resorts run a voluntary surrender program. Eligibility is set by the resort and is typically limited to paid-off, current accounts.
2. Resale: the secondary market for timeshare interests is very thin, and many listings never sell. Resale is also the pretext for a large share of resale and fake-buyer scams.
3. Timeshare exit company with legal representation: a licensed attorney reviews the actual contract and the sales conduct behind it, then advises on the options that apply to your situation.

Whichever path you consider, read the Newton Group scam alerts first so you can recognize the tactics that low-quality exit companies use.

Newton Group is one of the most established timeshare exit companies in the United States. Newton Group was founded in 2005, has helped timeshare owners since 2005, holds a BBB A+ rating, was a BBB Torch Award for Ethics finalist in 2019 and 2022, includes a licensed attorney on every case, and has helped more than 30,000 timeshare owners. Compare any exit company on those same verifiable criteria before deciding.

Use this checklist on every company you talk to, including Newton Group:

• Is there a real, verifiable headquarters address and named leadership?
• Is a licensed attorney actually involved, or is a non-lawyer giving legal-sounding advice?
• Does the company make guarantees, or explain that results vary?
• What does the BBB profile and rating history actually show?

Newton Group's answers to that checklist are laid out on the best-in-class timeshare exit service page.

A Newton Group advisor reviews your situation, answers your questions, and tells you honestly whether and how Newton Group may be able to help. The consultation carries no obligation and no cost, and no documents are signed on the call. You decide whether it is a fit.

There is no single price for timeshare exit. Cost generally depends on your contract type, how many contracts and owners are on the deed, whether a mortgage balance remains, and how complex the situation is. Newton Group uses factory-direct pricing with legal representation included and explains every fee in plain language during the free consultation, before you commit to anything.

Newton Group's pricing is factory-direct, meaning no reseller markup sits between you and the service, and legal representation is included rather than billed separately. Beware of any quote that hinges on a large fee collected before you understand what you are buying — see upfront-fee scams.

Timeshare exit timelines vary, and Newton Group does not promise a fixed timeline. How long a case typically takes depends on the contract itself, the resort, whether a loan balance remains, and how quickly documentation comes together. After a licensed attorney reviews your actual contract, you can get a realistic estimate for your specific situation.

Treat any company that quotes you a firm number of days before reading your contract as a warning sign, not a selling point.

No large upfront fee is required to start a conversation with Newton Group, and the consultation itself is free. Newton Group walks you through exactly how engagement and any fees work during that free consultation, in plain language, before you commit. Newton Group's factory-direct model means no reseller markup.

Large fees collected before any contract review is the single most common pattern in upfront-fee timeshare exit scams.

Newton Group does not advise timeshare owners to stop making payments or to breach a contract. A licensed attorney reviews your actual contract, presents the available options and the potential consequences of each, and then you and your attorney decide together. Talk to Newton Group before you change anything about your payments.

Any company that opens by telling you to stop paying is a company to walk away from — that advice is a hallmark of both credit-protection scams and the unauthorized practice of law.
