How to Sell Your Timeshare

The best way to get the maximum return from your timeshare is to use and enjoy it. However, if you have stopped using your timeshare, it is probably time to sell. If you purchased your interval from a developer, you must accept the fact that you will likely take a significant loss on the resale. Many sellers have trouble coming to terms with this and hold their unit for several extra years. This will only increase the loss as you continue to pay maintenance fees and taxes.

Often times a prospective seller will call the resort and be quoted the current price from the developer that is very close to the purchase price. The first time seller does not realize that the resale market is totally different than buying from a developer. That is because the high cost of marketing has been removed.

Another dilemma arises when the seller calls an unscrupulous resale company that will grossly exaggerate the sales price in order to entice an upfront fee. Here is rule #1 when selling your timeshare: NEVER PAY AN UPFRONT FEE! These companies will tell you almost anything to get that listing or appraisal fee and then make little or no effort to sell your timeshare.
