Anyone Know a Legit Timeshare Resaler?
I have timeshare property I want to sell and many timeshare resellers have contacted me but they’re full of crap. They want 0-800 upfront and make out like you’ll make it back when the property is sold. I figure if it’s legit, they get their fee when it’s sold, that way it’s a win win for both parties involved. Do you know of any company that is a legit re-seller of timeshare property?
IMPORTANT – Nobody can guarantee the sale of your timeshare. They only guarantee it when is a scam and charge a big listing fee upfront.
If there is a mail box or a community bulletin board at your home resort, you can put a “For sale” sign. This will pressure the developer specially if they sell it for $20,000 USD and you offer it for $5,000. Sometimes on the fine print of some sale agreements says that the developer has the first right to buy if your place is ever sold. I have heard of developers paying the money (as long as is not too much) just to take the sign out.
To resale or rent a timeshare is a hard task, the basic rule is not to pay money up-front, don’t be another victim of a scam.
Unfortunately over 50% of people that really need to sell their timeshare falls for this resale scams where they charge money upfront and less than 10% of them use their only real option which is to post it or offer it trough free advertising options as much and as many sites as they can (it is ok to pay a few dollars to post in a great place but no more that $20 to $30).
Timeshares do not have resale value and in most situations you would take a loss in what you paid for, as they resale for less than $2000 USD.
