If you’re looking into Lonestar Transfer, you’ve probably run into the same wall most owners do. No published price, just a free consultation and a custom quote.
That leaves you guessing. So let’s clear some of that up before you get on the phone with them.
What Lonestar Transfer Actually Charges
Lonestar Transfer is a Texas-based, family-run company founded in 2012 by Karen and Bryan Holloway. Unlike some exit companies, they offer both timeshare transfers, where ownership is signed over to another party, and full timeshare cancellations.
Reported fees commonly range from $3,000 to over $15,000, depending on your resort, mortgage status, and how complicated your contract is. Lonestar Transfer states that pricing might range from $6,000 to more than $15,000, though two online reviewers have mentioned fees around $5,000, with the exact price depending on the case. As with most exit companies, the company doesn’t provide quotes until after you complete a free consultation. My Time Share + 3
Why the Price Range Is So Wide
Like most exit companies, Lonestar prices each case individually. A mortgage-free timeshare eligible for a simple transfer costs less to resolve than a cancellation involving a balance owed or a complicated contract.
The transfer option adds another variable. To qualify, you generally need to be mortgage-free, and eligibility requirements affect where you land in their pricing range.
What You Get for That Price
Lonestar has built a strong reputation. They offer a guaranteed completion date in writing, which is a genuine standout in an industry where “it depends” is the usual answer. They also offer a full refund if your contract isn’t canceled.
That said, some reviews mention a heavy volume of sales calls, even after asking to be removed from marketing lists. And like most larger exit companies, you’re working with a team, not a single person who’s spent decades inside the timeshare industry itself.
How I Compare
I’ve spent 15 years working directly for timeshare resorts, including Wyndham, Holiday Inn Club Vacations, Westgate, and Royal Resorts, across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean — some of which are now part of Hilton Grand Vacations or Diamond Resorts after industry acquisitions. I also worked as a contracts specialist and verification officer, reviewing purchase agreements from the inside. That means when I talk about how a company like Lonestar or a resort actually operates, I’m not guessing. I was there.
I wrote Everything About Timeshares: Before, During and After the Sale because too many owners only ever hear the sales pitch, never the exit side. I’m also an honorably discharged U.S. Navy veteran — I served as a Navy journalist and worked aboard two aircraft carriers, which shaped the same standard I apply to this work: get the facts straight, and tell people the truth.
My fee is $1,500 for a paid-off timeshare, or $2,500 if there’s a balance owed. I ask for 25% down to start. I guarantee cancellation within 90 days for paid off timeshares and 6 months for timeshares with a balance for a settlement, or your money back. And I only take on a select number of clients, reviewing your documents personally before deciding whether I can help.
What to Do Before You Sign With Anyone
Before hiring Lonestar Transfer, or any exit company, ask three questions. Has the person you’d be working with actually worked in the timeshare industry? Is there a guaranteed timeframe in writing? How much do they require upfront?
