Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you advertise
for your competition? Time share owners look to
this site for information. Since we do not solicit our
business or employ sales people our site can be trusted.
We make it a point to expose as many time
share resale scams as we can. In order for our visitors
to do their homework well we make it easy for them to
compare the other companies out there and what they
offer for their fees.
What is a time share?
Time share is nothing more than deeded time. Although
many of the buying and selling characteristics are similar
to that of Real Estate, time share is simply not traditional
Real Estate.
How do I sell or rent
my time share quickly? Exposure. Exposure. Exposure.
When Selling or renting your time share, you need to
put the unit in front of as many potential buyers and
renters as possile.
Do I need an appraisal to
sell my time share resort resale? No, absolutely
not! This is a well known scam in the timeshare resales
market. You own a piece of time not a physical piece
of property. Time share can not be appraised! This is
why we offer a FREE Market
Analysis!
Is it possible
for me to begin advertising my time share today, but
still use my time this year? Yes. While your time
share is being advertised, you should continue to utilize
your time. If you accept an offer or actually sell
your time share before your planned vacation, you
may use your time if you have paid the maintenance fees
for that year.
What is the difference in
buying a resale time share and buying a “new”
developer time share week? When you purchase your
resale directly from the developer you are essentially
paying for all the advertising and money it took to
sell that unit. Buying from a private individual saves
you the additional expense. Typically you'll save over
40% purchasing from private owners.
How long will it take
to sell my week? It is impossible to tell exactly
when a time share resale will sell. Although some locations
and particular units sell faster than others there is
really no way of telling.
Should I rent my time
share? If you're looking to offset your maintenance
fees occasionally or put potential buyers into the unit
to preview it then YES, renting your time share is a
good idea. Renting
a time share is like taking a test drive in a new
car. Potential owners just love to get into the unit
before they buy it and get a feel whether it's right
for them. The owners can then offset the maintenance
fees and put a few dollars in their pocket each year.
Can we take our pets when we
time share? Not usually. Since you do not own all
52 weeks outright there will be others using the unit
the very next week. Pet dander can linger for weeks
after the unit has been used and create havoc with allergies,
so bringing your pet is usually not a good idea.
Why do I have to pay
up front to sell my time share? The simple fact
is that there are only a few people who can actually
sell your time share.
Brokers and Real Estate agents MAY collect
a commission after the sale. That's where they get paid.
Since we are not brokers or agents we cannot charge
a commission. Therefore, we charge a $100 administrative
fee for one years advertising to cover the cost of our
overhead. See Up Front
Fees.
