PODCAST #485 - VACATION OWNERSHIP CONSULTANTS

November 29, 2025 Jose Acevedo

In this episode of the Finding Arizona Podcast, host Jose Acevedo sits down with Jeremy Russo- CEO of Vacation Ownership Consultants, a Scottsdale-based timeshare-exit firm that’s been operating for over 11 years. Jeremy shares how his early career in travel and vacation rentals exposed him to countless timeshare owners stuck with unwanted contracts- a pattern that inspired him to build VOC to provide honest, guided solutions. The conversation digs into the complexities of timeshare ownership: why contracts are often written to favor the resort, why fees like annual maintenance keep rising, and why many owners find themselves trapped financially even if they never use the timeshare.
