Tips on Selling Your Timeshare

Be wary of Great Offers – Get all agreements in writing and take time to investigate the company and what they are promising. Do not act in haste or be pressurized into doing business due to an outstanding ‘offer’.

Accredited Business: Choose a timeshare resale company that you can trust will handle your business with integrity.
Complete Check of Costs- Ask about commission charges. Ensure they use escrow services so you are in control of payments rendered. Do they complete the whole sale? Are there additional charges for listing or advertising? What do these charges cover and is it refundable if things do not go as planned?

Do not Pay Upfront-Choose companies that are paid only if the timeshare is sold. There have been many complaints where people paid substantial fees upfront and are still left with their timeshare and no refunds forthcoming.
Are they Licensed Resellers? - Beware of fake addresses or resellers using PO Boxes. Investigate the company’s location and verify if they are in possession of a real estate license effective in your location, with the state licensing board.

Advertising-Use cost effective advertising that reaches your target market:

• Free or low cost internet ads using timeshare keywords
• Place online classified ads on timeshare sites so you are only paying to connect with your target audience, those interested in timeshares.
• Place ads in EBay and Craigslist who are popular timeshare advertisers.
• Put posters on the bulletin boards of your resort.
• Place an ad in the resort newsletter.
• Pricing- You are in charge of the price and it is an important factor in whether your timeshare will sell. Be realistic about a fair current market price and you will stand ahead of many of the high priced timeshares currently having their listings refused. Find out about recent sales, check databases, eBay auctions and real estate offices to establish the correct asking price.
• Treat Prospective Buyers Correctly-Ensure all information is accurate in ads. Respond quickly and accurately to emails  phone calls. Prepare counter offers that you are comfortable with in advance of receiving lower offers.
