Any owners out there who own at Island One? They just filed bankruptcy two days ago in Orlando. To settle nerves from the start, do not be too terribly alarmed. you own a deed and the HOA will have to continue to support the owners. It is the company that went broke, which typically refers to the developer, the sales and marketing teams, etc.
Educate yourself!

Does the Berkley Group (or others) take timeshare back?
I am beginning this post with this title because it seems to be a search engine result which brings visitors to my site!
There are many developers who will take timeshares back through alternative means.. but for a timeshare owner individually to get a group to take back a timeshare, is practically impossible. For those of you asking these questions, you should be looking at a Trade in program available through various resale companies, and charitable groups. Developers do not like to accept one single deed back, but will consider the option when a company has pooled a lot of their inventory together.
I would suggest checking with groups like SellMyTimesharenow.com, Timeshare Relief, Last Resort Resales (who has charities they donate to), Holiday Equity, or other various groups you can find via research on the web. Many resale companies have contacts at companies who take in timeshares, even if they don't so a little sweet talking to an ad rep might get you where you want to be. Aside from that, your best bet is to go on and advertise and market your timeshare for sale or rent.
Hope this helps.. and if you find a company but arent sure if they are legitimate or not, as always, shoot me a note and I will find out for you if I dont already have the answer.

Timeshare information on the net not helpful
I soak through countless google alerts throughout my day. I have found repeatedly that the majority of blogs on timeshare resales are either by a timeshare resale company, or they are posts that someone put empty repeat information on just to try to get their SEO up. Very frustrating!
