If you are asking yourself "how do I sell my timeshare?" then this may be the information you are looking for. But get ready to face the fact that the news is not necessarily going to be good. Recent statistics are showing that the selling price for timeshares on average is 30% to 50% less than the original selling price. Of course, averages are just that, and depending on the location and timing of your particular timeshare, you could be at the top end or the bottom end of the scale.
Some resorts make it very easy for owners to sell their timeshares back to the company. Of course, this ease of selling may come at a high price. And I do not mean you will receive a high price. Quite the opposite. Still, it is worth finding out what they will pay.
If you want to give selling your timeshare by yourself a try, start out by placing free classified ads. Are you on AOL or do you know someone who is? There are also free classified services such as Craigs list, Kijiji and possibly local ones specifically for your area or the area where your property is located.
If you are considering going with an agent or broker to sell your timeshare for you, it pays to take time and do your due diligence, because not all of these people are necessarily what they may seem to be. Yes, that is right. There are timeshare selling scams out there, and you do not want to fall into one of those traps. Make sure the company you list with is reputable. See whether there have been any complaints filed against them with the Better Business Bureau, whether they belong to a Chamber or Commerce, or are accredited with any regulatory bureau or organization.
