Help from Industry Experts Keeps Legacy Resorts Moving Forward

It isn't just the newer, larger resorts that can provide all the "bells and whistles" to keep up with the competition. The more mature "legacy" resorts have lots to offer, and industry experts are helping them to keep moving forward competitively while also maintaining a healthy HOA.

Compass Resort Group

One of the industry experts working with legacy resorts is Compass Resort Group. The company helps single-site resort developers and HOA’s that are responsible for mature resorts in need of assistance.  Headed by two long-time timeshare industry pros, Jay Finley and Chuck Frey, Compass Resort Group concentrates on resorts that may be experiencing issues related to maintenance, shrinking reserves and escalating debts. The company does a thorough analysis of each applicant’s needs before embarking on a course of improvements. 
Compass Resort Group has assisted resorts such as Branson Yacht Club (find it on www.redweek.com) to become more profitable, gain new owners and recover lost revenues. The group also offers assistance with software training and conversion, project development, financial advice, and in developing successful marketing and sales efforts.  A specialty of Compass Resort Group is selling HOA owned inventory in a way that maintains price integrity and preserves value for current and prospective owners.
