purchasing directly from westgate (by Stacey H.):

My husband and I are getting ready to upgrade. We are signing contracts to purchase a four bed floating at branson lakes at emerald point. We recently purchased a two bedroom every other year at this same westgate resort. We have not had the opportunity to use any of our benefits, but prior to upgrading and committing $40,000 I was wondering if anyone with experience with Westgate had any advice that can be offered. I am very anxious as we have had some contract issues and told many things that have proved to be false. Specifically I am wondering is this location really desirable when exchanging and would we be better off shopping around and buying from a previous owner rather than directly from westgate. Any advice would be greatfully appreciated.
