Lisa Ann Schreier: Hi. Thanks so much for joining me here today and for the great questions...let's get started!

_______________________

Bakersfield, CA: Which company offers the best time-share for a family?

Thank you.

Sherri

Lisa Ann Schreier: Hard to say really. I stay away from using the word "best" because I don't really think it exists. I'd advise you to first figure out if you want to return to a home resort more often, or trade to different places more often.

Jacksonville, Illinois: WE have a time-share in Branson, Missouri that we do not use. Our children do not want it. How do we dispose of it without paying a fee up front to a company that does not help except take the money?

Thank you in advance for taking my question.

Lisa Ann Schreier: First of all, never pay upfront to list a time-share with a company that is going to claim to sell it. I would first advise you to renting out your time-share in Branson and make some money for a few years. Then, you can sell your time-share through word-of-mouth, or even online, and even if you take a "loss" on the time-share, you will have made money by renting it for a few years!
