Selling Timeshares the Right Way
Timeshares are a big money maker for developers, but they also can be difficult to sell. Depending on the terms of your contract, you may have a number of options available to you when it comes time to get out of your timeshare.
One of the most important things you can do is price your unit competitively. This means that you have to price it well below the resale prices of other timeshares at your resort. This is especially true for fixed weeks and points since these are the most desirable types of timeshares and often command the highest prices at the same resort.

Make sure that your listing is well-presented and features high quality photographs of your timeshare. Potential buyers want to see a picture of your vacation property before they buy, and it can be the difference between a sale and a missed opportunity.
Having your photos taken professionally is an excellent idea, as professional photographers are trained to use lighting and angle to create the most appealing photo possible. Your listing should also have a clear description of the timeshare and its amenities.
Another important thing to consider is if your timeshare has any maintenance fees that you have to pay. These can add up to hundreds of dollars each year, so it’s best to avoid selling your timeshare if it has any.
There are a number of companies that specialize in buying and selling timeshares, so be sure to do your research before choosing the company that will help you make a profit. These organizations can help you with every step of the process, including getting your timeshare in front of the right buyers and negotiating for the best price.
Some of these companies can also help you with other aspects of the process, such as arranging to have your timeshare recorded at the county clerk’s office. Some can even take care of the closing costs, which are usually low in most areas.
The best way to find a reputable company is by asking around, reading reviews and looking at the Better Business Bureau. Then, read the fine print of any agreement you’re considering signing. You should be able to find a company that has been in business for at least 25 years, has an A+ rating with the BBB and is backed by a top developer.
Typically, a timeshare developer will have a highly-trained sales staff and expensive marketing programs. This can result in over-inflated selling prices and aggressive sales tactics, read more here about this subject.
A few of the most effective ways to sell your timeshare are to advertise it yourself, use a third-party resale company and enlist the help of an experienced broker. The most cost-effective places to advertise are the TUG classified ad section, our timeshare marketplace and on Ebay and Craigslist.
You should also check the resale listings of other timeshares at your resort and on other websites to determine what your unit is worth. You’ll need to compare the details of your timeshare (week or season, number of bedrooms, view, etc.) with other for-sale units to decide what price will best capture the attention of potential buyers.
