Timeshare resales by owner are
becoming popular as timeshare owners look for ways to
maximize the amount of money they can make by selling
their vacation ownership interest. There are a number
of on-line listing services that specialize in timeshare
resales by owner. Many of these services will allow you
to list your timeshare for free, though often for a
limited time.
When using an on-line timeshare
listing service, there are a few things to keep in
mind. While the listing has the potential to be viewed
by thousands of interested buyers, the listing service
will not be doing any active selling or promotion of
your timeshare. Also, when it comes time to sell, you
will have to negotiate the sales price with the buyer
yourself. Also, you will need to make sure that all of
the sales contracts and other paperwork are drawn up and
handled correctly to ensure a proper transfer of the
timeshare.
Selling your timeshare
yourself will likely result in more money in your pocket
at closing. If you are comfortable with negotiating and
handling legal paperwork, then you might be able to sell
your timeshare on your own. If these tasks make you
nervous, then it may be worth it to give up some of the
sales price to an agent who specializes in timeshare
resales.
