How Do I Sell My Timeshare Now?

Does this timeshare story sound familiar? You went to a sales presentation which offered a free gift, determined you wouldn't buy anything. Then after four hours you left having bought a timeshare after all. You've tried to use it, tried to be excited by having it, but found that the restrictions of the rules and the difficulties of scheduling around your work schedule and your kids was just too frustrating. So now you'd like to get out, but wonder: how do I see my timeshare now?

Be Aware of Scams

You can sell your timeshare, but you have to be careful because there are scams which attempt to take your money but won't really help you sell. How can you tell who to trust? A company which is helping you legitimately sell your timeshare will not ask for up-front fees. Just like real estate agent, who expects to earn their fee through the sale, a legitimate timeshare selling company depends on getting their income through providing a service and making sure the sale of your timeshare goes through. Don't be fooled if the company disguises the up-front fee by calling it a "market appraisal," or an "advertising fee." Don't even be lured by their promise of having a buyer ready. Once you have given them money, they won't have an incentive to earn it though a sale.

Be Realistic about the Value of Your Timeshare

Unfortunately, your timeshare is probably not worth what you paid for it, and you won't be able to sell it unless you are realistic about the price. Most timeshares on the resale market can only get 50% to 70% of the price that was paid to the developer. You may see timeshares for sale for more, but that doesn't mean those are the ones that sell.

Be Understanding about Supply and Demand

Why is it so hard to see a timeshare? Right now there are more timeshares available than there are buyers. Of course developers continue market their timeshares with the same hard-pressure tactics which hooked you in the first place. You don't have the ability to promote your timeshare with the same sales techniques, and you are competing with many other people who also have discovered that their timeshare isn't as useful to them as they had expected. Moreover, in tough economic times, many people have tried to cut their family expenses, and timeshares are one of those extras which seems to go first.
