Timesharing is a concept that translates into part-time ownership or the rights to exclusive use of real estate (apartment, condo, cottage, etc.), in most cases during a previously fixed week of the year, for a precise and specified length of time each year. Timesharing is also a marketing technique for selling more affordably priced holiday-style second home. It is difficult to find entirely objective and pertinent information on this topic, and the lack of precise data makes the job of writing about it even harder. This book is a concise, reasonable, and as far as possible unbiased guide for consumers, presenting them available data, analysis, facts, and trends to let them finally makes their own decisions. Recent books on the topic, though remarkably well written, do not cover buyer's point of view, few authors may be involved in rendering legal, accounting, or marketing counsel to the industry, while positions overly critical are withheld or subdued. By reviewing what's been written before, the book sets the stage for understanding the timesharing concept and technique, and helps the consumers in making a sound decision in buying or not buying a timeshare. Many of the timesharing resulting controversies could be avoided if consumers were better informed. FROM THE AUTHOR Born, raised and educated in Europe, I moved to Canada in early 80's. From my parents I learned that the education is the most important asset acquired by each and every person; the family motto "Omnia mea mecum porto" (All that is mine, I carry with me), confirms this truth passed from generation to generation. Knowledge and education are intelligent ways to spend time, effort and money with high return on investment over time. This guide offers a chance for readers to tour the glittering and often confusing world of timeshare condominiums without ever having to use a credit card. With so much material on this subject having been written by special interests, it is rare to find a hype-free guide that cannot be considered as advertising. Readers who want to take a plunge can learn a lot from this consumer-friendly guide. ABOUT THE AUTHOR The author worked for Nortel Networks in various management positions and currently is employed as the Business Development Director for Intellectum Plus in Ottawa, Canada. He has degrees in Electrical Engineering and Business Administration. Login to review this product
