If you were pressured into buying a timeshare, there's a good chance that you want to get rid of your timeshare. Getting your money back might be important to you. For a variety of reasons, you might not be able to use your week as often as you would like.
Accordingly, obtaining a return on your investment is a very high priority. The resales of timeshares constitute a market all on their own. How do you go about when selling yours?
If you've done any research on the subject of timeshare resales you have no doubt come across a company that will do it for you. At least, they claim that they will do it for you. While there are some reputable companies out there that will do it, beware of scams. One way to tell if the company is a scam is if they ask you for any upfront fees to sell your timeshare.
A legitimate company can make its money once they get rid of your timeshare. Regardless of how many buyers they claim that they have lined up, don't give them your money. Even if it sounds like a really legitimate fee like an "appraisal fee" or "processing fee" just steer clear. However, if a company doesn't ask for any money up front and you've done your research on them, they might be a good alternative.
When you decide to sell your timeshare, do not expect to get what you invested into it. You should price it on comparable values, not what you think it is worth. The biggest decisions are how much you are willing to list it for and whether you sell it yourself or seek someone else as an agent.
If you bought a time share from the developer, you likely paid full price. The resale of the timeshare will likely be much lower than what you paid - even up to one third the original purchase price. The reluctance of new buyers to pay full price after maintenance fees is among several factors that reduce how much they are willing to pay.
First, you probably paid too much for your timeshare to begin with, especially if you paid the initial asking price. Second, you don't have the resources to duplicate the sales tactics of developers, such as inviting people for free vacations.
When you decide to sell a timeshare, you will find that the actual price of the resale is usually less than what you paid for it. You should check out eBay or Craigslist, for example, for comparable sales prices. Then decide how much the resale value is and list your own.
An abundance of listing places exist once you've made your decision. A number of operating online sites list timeshare properties being sold worldwide, with some success. In addition, you may want to consider an auctioneer like e-Bay.
There are many different things you can do to get rid of your timeshare and being flexible will give you a better chance. Keep trying different incentives to discover one that works. Timeshares sell everyday and yours will sell too.
