Timeshare Resale Secrets Revealed

First off, you should know that here at Buy Owner Resorts, We are NOT a large company with over 30,000 listings as one of our competitors brags. It's up to you, would you rather list with a company where you can get lost among the masses, or list with a company that will give your timeshare PERSONAL attention???? The Choice is YOURS.....

I've been told to never pay "Upfront Fees".
Many timeshare publications and user groups spout this advice incessantly. After they pound it into your head that you should never give anyone a dime upfront to help sell your timeshare, they then proceed to tell you that buying a classified in their publication is THE way to sell a timeshare. They seem to think that this doesn't qualify as paying money up front because their ads are cheap. In fact, it is up front money and it's cheap because it's ineffective. Often the timeshare owners that go this route will get pennies on the dollar for their timeshare when they could have gotten more. The publications and user groups spend a lot of space in their publications justifying why their members should get so little for their timeshare resale. While it is true that timeshares sometimes sell for less than they were purchased for, it isn't true that that you should settle for 10% or 20% of your original purchase price. In short, paying for the listing of your timeshare is a legitimate practice, however, make sure that the company you are listing with spends money on some form of advertising.

How Not to Sell a Timeshare
A lot of people come to a point in there life where they no longer use their timeshare. This is very common. So how do you sell a timeshare? Lots of people figure it is a property so they go to their local realtor. Others think that the resort will sell it for them. A few think the answer is to advertise in their newspapers and other classified sections. Let's investigate these options:

"I'll just use my local Realtor"
This is a very common response we hear from timeshare owners. You really have to think about what a realtor does when selling a house. They show the property to prospective buyer. Now ask yourself how is my realtor going to show mytimeshare to prospective buyers? The answer is they can't. A realtor does not have access to your property to show it. A realtor will also charge you an upfront $500 fee to appraise the property, then there will be a 20% - 30% commission on the backend. If you tell a realtor that you want to get $10,000 for your Timeshare they are probably going to price your timeshare at $13,000 so that they can get their 30%. Adding in a 30% commission is going to price you right out of the market and make your property very unattractive.

"I'll have the Resort sell it for me"
When you buy your timeshare from a resort the last thing on your mind is resale. Most resorts do not have a resale program and will not buy them back. Let's face it, they collect maintenance fees from you every year and that is what they want. If a resort does have a resale program how aggressive do you think they are going to be if they still have their own weeks to sell.

"I'll Advertise the unit myself"
A third option is to advertise. This can become very expensive and cost thousands of dollars with no promise of selling your property. A newspaper gives you no guarantee that your timeshare will sell. Your ad will only reach people within the scope of the papers' delivery area. The paper will also only run your ad for a set amount of time and the costs can become exorbitant. Bear in mind that after shelling out hundreds if not thousands for the ad, when it stops running, there is an excellent chance you'll still own the timeshare.

"I'll use an Internet Listing Company"
The fourth option is to use a company that simply places your listing on the internet in basically the same form as a newspaper classified ad. This is fine, except that you'll be on the same page with as many as several hundred other owners of the same resort, with prices ranging from Fair Market Value to identical units to yours listed for 20 - 30% of value. Guess which ones are going to sell?
