Return To Timeshare Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Time Share Reselling System By Kevin Co It is an idea that had plenty of success in Europe before really breaking into the US market. While you are happy with taking your holidays where the timeshare is located, they are a great thing. And hopefully, if you did your research well in the first place (you went to see the location or you took advice from a trusted source), it will be a long time before you think about reselling. Nevertheless, in the future there may come a time when you are thinking about reselling the time-share. This will only be possible if the contract you purchased was the correct type. But if you can legally resell your time share it might be wise to understand some of the marketing devices that agents use - this may enable you to recognize any dodgy deals and also achieve a good sale yourself. One devious technique sometimes adopted by time-share sellers is the false impression they give to purchasers when they buy in the first place, leading them to believe they might make a fortune when they come to resell it. This is likely to be untrue - the main advantage about having time share is that you can use it. Therefore if you thought you were going to make a lot of money when you came to sell it you might be disillusioned. Scams sometimes occur at the selling stage, when owners are susceptible. So owners should be aware of some of the scams that are at work, especially the deal which requires money-up-front. The usual scenario is that an agent will phone or write a letter stating that they have many buyers and possible contacts online as well. But to use this agent a fee of perhaps $1,000 is required. The scam is that you are told that this will be refunded to you if they do not manage to sell your property within the year. However, the money usually refunded is often a small portion of the fee originally paid. Some perfectly legitimate sellers will ask for a fee before they sell your property, but it should be less than a hundred dollars. If you are unsure about a company do not sign or agree to anything. A way to manage a difficult phone call is to insist on them sending you paper work, including at least five references from current customers. Any legitimate company should check out with the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org). Another way to sell your time share is to put an ad in one of the magazines that people might read when they are looking to buy a time share. Alternatively you could use this same medium to change your time share for another in a different region. Another option is to choose a realtor in the location of your time share - they are probably the best bet for finding you a buyer!
