I needed to sell my timeshare

Question:

Can anyone tell me if ERA Stroman is a legitimate company to deal with? So far I have been extremely disappointed with them. I needed to sell my timeshare in the Bahamas when I saw their ad in USA Today. Well I called and listened to their promises and sent almost $500 to them to get it sold. Well since that time (Over a year ago now) I have not had one call from them and both of the times that I called, they basically said that they won't talk to me unless they have a buyer for my timeshare. I see that they still advertise in USA Today but is that all they do. Has anyone else had this kind of experience with these people?
 

Answer:

I own a timeshare myself that I'd like to sell. I contacted ERA Stroman in response to one of their solicitations, and listened to their deal: "Pay us a fee up front, and we'll list your property". I said no, as I felt a deal structured that way gave them little incentive to sell once they had my money. It should be obvious from the extent of their direct mail solicitations
(I've had perhaps 50 pieces of mail, mostly identical, from them in the last 5-6 years), that their primary business activity is in getting LISTINGS, not necessarily BUYERS. They may be legitimate, but I think you bought some hope, and not much in the way of service.
