A National Award That Is Not Given Lightly
IABE recognizes organizations at four levels: City, Regional, National, and International. The National Excellence Award sits near the top. It is one of the highest awards offered through IABE, and it validates that an organization has met the association’s standards at a national level. IABE’s recipient page describes Leave Timeshare as recognized “as one of the best in the country.”
The award is earned, not handed out. Every applicant is evaluated against five core standards: Digital Presence, Customer Reputation, Operational Standing, Industry Tenure, and Professional Integrity. IABE states that only a fraction of the organizations it evaluates meet the standards, and applicants who fall short are not approved. Leave Timeshare met all five standards in the 2026 evaluation period.
Who Is Leave Timeshare?
Leave Timeshare describes itself as a full-service timeshare advocacy group that specializes in timeshare contract resolution. Its stated mission is to help as many people as possible get free of timeshare burdens so they can “vacation on their terms.” Based in Irvine, California, the company works with owners nationwide who are struggling with rising fees, aggressive sales tactics, or contracts they feel were misrepresented to them.
The company stresses a you-first approach, starting with a free, no-obligation consultation. It says it works closely with independent attorneys who have expertise in timeshare law, while being clear that Leave Timeshare is not itself a law firm. That honesty about what it is, and what it is not, is a good place to begin when talking about trust.
Why Leave Timeshare Earned National Excellence
Digital Presence: Tools That Help Owners Before They Ever Call
A person dealing with a timeshare is usually stressed, skeptical, and searching for answers online. Leave Timeshare meets them there. Its website is built around helping owners understand their situation:
- A “See if you qualify” form and a dedicated Do I Qualify page, so owners can start without pressure.
- A Payment Calculator that helps owners see the true cost of their timeshare, including annual vacation spending, which many owners have never added up.
- An Exit Map that lays out the company’s work process step by step.
- A Timeshare Insights blog with educational articles for owners.
- A free consultation line at 866-236-6984, plus a contact form and active profiles on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.
It is a clear, professional, and consumer-friendly online presence, which is exactly what IABE’s first standard looks for.
Customer Reputation: Client Voices and Public Reviews
The Leave Timeshare website features client testimonials that describe the company’s communication and support. Clients on the site talk about open communication, clear instructions, regular updates, and reassurance along the way. One describes exiting a Welk Resorts timeshare in California and being connected with a credit resource to help manage their credit during the process. Another credits the company for helping with a Holiday Inn timeshare mortgage. The company also appears on public review platforms such as Trustpilot and BestCompany, where it responds directly to client reviews, a practice that shows it takes feedback seriously.
Operational Standing: A Real Company With a Real Address and a Verifiable Record
Leave Timeshare operates from a physical office in Irvine, California, with a published address, phone number, and email. It displays its Better Business Bureau profile, and it lists a business profile with Dun & Bradstreet. Its site shares legal documents such as terms and conditions and a privacy policy, and its qualification form includes clear consent language about text messages. These are the marks of a legitimately operating business with a public record.
Industry Tenure: Years of Focus on One Problem
According to its public business profiles, Leave Timeshare has been helping people exit timeshare contracts since 2018. That is years of focus on a single, difficult area, which is exactly the kind of sustained field commitment IABE’s tenure standard recognizes.
Professional Integrity: Honest About What It Is and What It Can Do
Integrity matters most in an industry where consumers have often been burned. Leave Timeshare’s own FAQ addresses the hard questions plainly:
- It is not a law firm. The company states this directly, and explains that it works with independent attorneys who have timeshare law expertise.
- It is not affiliated with developers or resorts. It says it will not pressure owners into another timeshare product.
- It is candid about outcomes. On the question of whether it can remove an owner’s liability, the company says the specific outcome depends on the circumstances of each case, and that it will discuss what can realistically be achieved before an owner commits.
- It explains cost up front. Pricing depends on the specifics of a case, so the company offers a free consultation and a free quote before any commitment.
An honest answer to “what can you actually do?” is the foundation of trust, and it is one reason this company stood out.
Recognition, Community, and Culture
Beyond its client work, Leave Timeshare highlights a number of recognitions and community efforts on its website. These include:
- A Better Business Bureau business profile and a BBB4Good designation, which the company describes as part of its commitment to giving back. You can view its BBB profile here.
- A Top Workplaces listing for Orange County in 2023. See its Top Workplaces profile.
- A Giving Back award badge from 2023.
- Several business and workplace awards from other organizations, which it displays on its homepage, including a 2024 BASA Awards listing.
- A partnership with One Tree Planted, through which the company says it gives back to the community and the environment.
- A five-star Glassdoor rating badge displayed on its site, reflecting its workplace culture.
A company that earns recognition as a good employer and gives back to its community is a company that cares about more than closing cases.
What Owners Can Expect
For owners who are thinking about reaching out, the company’s process begins simply:
- Start with a free consultation. Call 866-236-6984 or fill out the “See if you qualify” form on the website. Consultations are free and carry no obligation.
- Review your options. The team looks at your specific contract, resort, and situation to explain what may be possible and what it would cost, with a free quote.
- Follow the process. The company explains its steps on its Exit Map page, and it says it handles negotiations, paperwork, and administrative tasks on your behalf, working with independent attorneys as needed.
- Stay informed. Clients say regular communication is a hallmark of the experience.
Every case is different, and the company is clear that outcomes depend on the circumstances. Owners should always read any agreement carefully and ask questions before signing.
