Major Hotel Chains Help Legitimize Timeshare Business

It has been interesting to observe the changes in the timeshare business over the last 18 years. The industry has long been known for the high-pressure tactics used by sales and marketing teams in the aggressive attempt to close deals at resort presentations. Now the timeshare market is starting to be dominated by well-known hotel brands such as Marriott, Hilton and Starwood. These three companies currently account for approximately one third of all new timeshare sales in the United States. Buyers feel comfortable purchasing from large established corporations that they know are in it for the long haul. This has improved the reputation of the timeshare business and that is a very good thing.

Another factor that negatively affects the timeshare industry is that most new timeshares lose a large percentage of their value on the resale market. Remember, buyers and sellers establish the price of timeshares on the resale market. It represents the true value of all timeshares. The difference in the two prices is the developer’s exorbitant marketing costs to lure potential buyers to the resort and support a very expensive sales team. New timeshare buyers are still paying developer prices and that includes these huge marketing costs. Unfortunately, this is the way it has been for the last 30 years. That is why it is always best to buy your timeshares on the resale market from a reputable company like Paradise Real Estate & Timeshare Resale.
