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.
- Agents
- Brokers
- Yourself
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.
