The Path Every Timeshare Owner Wants to Take 

How to Sell a Timeshare
How to Sell a Timeshare
It is no great secret that most timeshare owners are scouring the internet with the hopes of learning how to sell a timeshare. Unwanted timeshares have flooded the market due to the immense financial strain that most owners eventually experience. The timeshare contract forces owners to pay egregious fees and expanding costs, so figuring out how to sell that burdensome timeshare is a very popular search term. There is a massive wealth of information regarding the subject of how to sell a timeshare, but some of this timeshare advice is highly suspect and difficult to trust.

Unfortunately, conflicting reports about how to sell a timeshare has made this process very tricky. Timeshare companies heavily advertise ways to upgrade your timeshare instead of learning how to sell it, because they want to make a profit. Promoting the action of purchasing further upgrades in order to sell a timeshare is a bad idea, one that only serves the timeshare company.

There are also a great number of businesses that claim they know how to sell a timeshare with you. This service, of course, comes with a massive price tag that owners simply cannot afford. Some companies actually do know how to sell a timeshare, but make it seem much easier than it actually is. Finally, a large number of timeshare scams have arisen from owners seeking a way to sell their timeshare. Resale companies who claim they have all the answers regarding how to sell a timeshare will take your money and sit on their hands. All the while, you are stuck paying those crippling fees and annual payments. 

How to Sell a Timeshare: The Truth 

Even if you study correct pricing, advertising, and enlist the help of a company that knows how to sell a timeshare, the process can be long and arduous. The market for selling timeshares is impacted and depressed, with very few buyers. The consuming public knows how dangerous timeshare contracts are, and the market is flooded with owners just like you who want to sell their timeshares. The longer you are tied to your timeshare contract, the longer these payments add up, so learning how to sell a timeshare may be an exercise in futility.

Timeshare Consumer Bureau recommends learning how to break your timeshare contract altogether rather than learning how to sell a timeshare. There are many companies that will help you with this, and much fewer scams exist in the branch of the industry. Please submit a complaint or post a comment with us for a referral to one of these trusted companies that will truly help instead of telling you how easy it is to sell a timeshare.

This would be the easiest solution to get out of a timeshare legally… if only the resale market wasn’t so poor. Timeshares are extremely difficult to sell, in fact, they are almost impossible to sell. There are over 600 timeshare units on the resale market for every prospect buyer.

My wife and I purchased a floating timeshare outright, which meant we got a good deal and have used it a few times over the past 4 years. We have now moved to Australia and are looking to sell the timeshare as it is no longer cost effective. It seems this is going to be a big struggle. Is there a company you could suggest which would be able to get us out of the contract as the person from Westgate resorts who sold it to us said he would be able to resell it on for us, but when we rang him he said he could not help. I have done a lot of reading on this topic but cannot find a way out. Could you please point me in the right direction. Many Thanks

Hi,
My husband and I bought a floating timeshare week from my parents as they were no longer physically able to travel. The fees had become a burden to them at the time, so we did this to help, but now regret it, particularly when we find we are only able to secure exchange weeks during low season. This typically means travelling during cyclone, high humidity or extreme winter weather conditions and to what is now a very limited option of resorts in Australia.
The $40.00 insurance covering change of dates charged on top of the $169.00 exchange fee plus $70.00 per year membership fee with RCI, means the overall cost for the week is more expensive booked through them than through other channels, so we're now very unhappy with our ownership.
We are forced to take a holiday at an undesirable time, and to a place that is of little interest to us. Therefore, we looked into selling our week, and the cost through that agency was an upfront USD500.00 charge just to list the week. This was kept even if the week didn't sell.
Also, we currently have a week banked with DAE which expires soon. They have advised we will forfeit this altogether unless we pay $95.00 to extend the hold for a further 6 months. We have outlayed $770.00 to begin with for the week banked with them.
I believe the consumer does need some protection from what is going on within these organizations.
In my opinion, we should not lose our pre-paid week altogether, but be able to revert back to using it at our home resort if RCI and DAE have no availability at appropriate times of the year in places such as tropical Queensland within the 2 or 3 year period of the banked week.
I see the ideal market for time share as being a retired couple who can take advantage of the bonus weeks on a regular basis. That aspect does make the ownership worth having.
Thank you for taking interest in this dilemma.
Jacquie
