The Truth About Fees And Selling A Timeshare

  There are many stories of fees being payed to sell timeshares. Some good,some bad. The truth is sometimes selling a timeshare can be hard. It can take time and you won't get resort prices. And timeshare owners feel well stuck. You want it to be sold like traditonal real estate. But that isn't realisitic and and a timeshare isn't real estate. You can't go up to your suite grab a couch toss it in the back of a truck and leave with it. You don't really own anything. Fact is you really won't find any real estate brokers that will work on timeshares. The reason is simple they can spend hundreds of dollars advertising a timeshare for sale but when all is said and done if they sell your timeshare ant commission they would have made was already spent in finding a buyer. Or they can put a for sale by owner sighn in front of a house, wait for someone to drive by and make thousands of dollars in commission it is pretty clear cut where they will put there effort.

   As a seller you have to understand the fact that there is expense involved in selling a timeshare, 
First of all, you have company employees (sales staff, admin staff, closing staff, customer support, and IT staff), an office building, operating expenses.
   
  Second you have advertising and marketing expenses, which is where the majority of the money is spent. We use many different methods to bring buyers and sellers together, telesales, direct mail, email marketing, our website these thins all cost money. For example if you were to call your resort to get a list of owners to call thru to see if any want to buy more they would give you a list but they would charge you for it. If you were to call a newspaper and ask to run an add to sell your timeshare, they would do it but they would charge you for it.

 The majority of the fee we collect goes right to the marketing of the timeshares. Getting you the exposure you need to sell. Because that is what it takes exposure. People have to know its for sale or simply can't sell it.

You have to let people know it is for sale. You have to be willing to accept the fact that you won't get what you paid for it. Our staff can assist you in every step of the process.
