Timeshare Sellers FAQ

At VacationOwnership.com we resell timeshares every day. Some properties are easier to sell or sell faster than others but rarely resell at a profit or appreciated price. But timeshares, both weeks owned and timeshare points, resell all the time when they are properly marketed to a target audience of interested timeshare buyers.

What are the advantages of using a broker to sell my timeshare?

Your timeshare broker works for you, representing your wishes and your interest. You pay for his or her services, only when your timeshare sells. You never pay an upfront fee to sell your timeshare when you work with a timeshare real estate broker at VacationOwnership.com. You start the sales process when you agree to post your timeshare for sale. All the other steps along the way, right up until you sign the closing documents, are fully handled for you by your broker. To find out if your property qualifies for our no upfront fee services, please fill out the form to the right today.

If I bought my timeshare originally through a developer, can I resell it?

Your timeshare is yours to resell as you choose. The exception to this is in the case of some resorts that maintain the right of first refusal (ROFR) over the timeshare. This means that your resort has held on to the right to buy back your timeshare from you should you decide to sell. If your resort maintains this right and chooses to use it, then the resort becomes your timeshare buyer. If the resort declines to buy back your timeshare, then you are released from this condition of your contract and can move forward selling your timeshare as you choose.

If you are not sure if your resort has the right of first refusal over your timeshare, just ask us. Our licensed agents can quickly determine the answer.

Do I need an appraisal before selling a timeshare?

No, you do not need a timeshare appraisal in order to resell your timeshare. Although appraisals are used in the sale of other types of real estate, such as private homes and commercial buildings, they are done in order to satisfy a mortgage lender. Because your timeshare resale will not involve getting the financing approval of a buyer’s lender, there is no party involved in the sales process that needs or benefits from having an appraisal done. When you are setting the sale price of your timeshare, the most relevant information to consider is: how much are buyers offering for timeshare resales that are similar to mine?

Can I resell my timeshare if I lost my deed?

Because you are working with a full service timeshare broker at VacationOwnership.com, your broker will handle any necessary details like obtaining a duplicate copy of the deed from the county courthouse in which your timeshare is located.

How quickly will my timeshare sell?

It varies. Price, resort location, the flexibility of your usage and season and, of course, demand for your resort, all factor into your timeshare resale timeline. Many timeshare sellers find that working with a broker, who receives no payment until the timeshare has sold, gives them peace of mind that their broker is acting aggressively on their behalf to market and sell their timeshare. Once your timeshare moves into the closing process, from that point, it then typically takes from six to ten weeks for the timeshare transaction to close.

Why don’t you accept all properties?

We strive to provide the highest level of service to all timeshare owners with whom we work. As such, we only accept a limited number of properties for each resort or membership into our program and will not accept more until we have sold the timeshares of our active clients. All properties also must go through a qualification process with our experienced team to determine current market value, buyer demand, and additional factors that will contribute to a successful sale. While we hope we can assist all timeshare owners, if your expectations for a sale price or timeframe are unrealistic or do not match the market value of your ownership, we will be honest with you, but we will be unable to accept your timeshare into our program. To find out if your ownership qualifies for our no upfront fee program, please call us at 1-866-633-1030.
