Selling your timeshare or vacation property can be a daunting and intimidating task. At Sell My Timeshare we recognize that there is a lot of exaggeration and a lot of hype in the reseller market.
Here are some points to remember when selling a vacation property:
- Don't go through a broker. When given the choice between selling a $10,000 timeshare and a $200,000 home, the broker will dedicate his time and resources to the house. And you won't get the attention you deserve.
- Don't pay commissions. Reputable services like advertising co-ops don't charge commissions saving you money when you close on your sale.
- Get maximum exposure by joining programs that will promote your timeshare across the greatest number of advertising channels.
- Understand exactly what you're getting. Ask to have the terms of the sale explained to you until you understand them. If your agent doesn't explain well, ask to speak to someone else or work with another company.
- Don't pay unconditional fees. Some timeshare resellers derive a large percentage of their income from up-front fees. You want your reseller to work for you and make the sale ? not cash your check and kick back.
- Ask about guarantees. Sell My Timeshare refunds your advertising fee if your timeshare is sold by another agency before we can sell it. Ask about the guarantees offered by competing companies.
- Ask for referrals. Any truly successful reseller can produce evidence of happy clients.
- If it doesn't feel right, don't sign. Trust your instincts.
- Resale of Timeshares is sensitive to price. Buyers are looking for the best deal and that is often a price lower than the developer’s. If the timeshare is older or is in a less popular season, this should be accounted for in pricing.
- Compare prices with timeshares that are similar to yours, just as a buyer would. Also, find out the developer’s current price for your property to know how your price compares to it.
- There is no need for a company to ask for appraisal fees. There have been scams where companies have ripped off people by charging appraisal feeds.
