FAQ for Timeshare Sellers

You can still advertise a timeshare with a mortgage. Many owners choose to add the cost of the mortgage to the sales price, in order to pay off the remaining balance. For those looking to get out of a timeshare with a mortgage, resale may be your only option.

No. Whether you purchased your vacation ownership directly from the developer or through a timeshare resale source, you typically do not have to sell through the resort. Often, those owners who try to resell with the resort are either turned away or placed on a lengthy wait list. Therefore many owners find it more beneficial to sell timeshare with the help of a resale broker, particulary because there are no upfront fees.

Yes, if you lost your timeshare deed you can still sell your timeshare. Once your timeshare has been sold, your title company can order a new deed on your behalf. They will contact the resort or appropriate party to order a deed for the new owner. We can recommend a great title company to assist in your timeshare closing.

The Right of First Refusal (ROFR) is a condition included in most timeshare sales contracts. When you go to resell your timeshare, the ROFR enables your resort to have the option to buy your ownership at the current sales price. Typically, when a resort is sold on the secondary market, the timeshare seller or resale company will contact the resort to notify them of the sale. While it is rare that the resort will buy a timeshare back, Timeshare Broker Services will contact your resort on your behalf to satisfy this condition.

Selling through a real estate broker is not required, however, doing so makes the process much easier and safer for sellers. Timeshare Broker Services handles all advertising and marketing, placing your timeshare for sale before a global audience of eager buyers. Additionally, selling through a broker helps owners avoid timeshare resale scams.

No. Appraisals are not required to sell timeshare, and less reputable companies may try to require costly appraisals in order to sell your timeshare.

A CMA is a tool to help you determine your timeshare selling price. It is simply the value of your unit based on what other units are selling for at your resort at the time. You don’t need an appraisal to determine a timeshare sales value with Timeshare Broker Services. Our brokers can accurately assess your timeshare value before you sell, for no cost to you and with no obligation.

No. As part of its full-service approach to the success of your timeshare sale, Timeshare Broker Services can recommend licensed and bonded title companies that will charge far less than high-priced lawyers. For one affordable flat rate, these companies can handle the closing process from start to finish. The title work is attorney-reviewed and guaranteed to be free and clear.

Timeshare Broker Services does not charge upfront fees to assist owners in the sale of their timeshare. However, not all properties qualify for our no upfront fee service. Why? We have a limited number of licensed real estate agents on our staff, and as we strive to provide high-quality service to all our clients, we will never take on more properties than is reasonable at any one time. More importantly, if we are already working with an owner of a similar or identical property or ownership, we will not accept additional clients for that property or ownership until we have sold the listing for our active client. To find out if your property qualifies and if we have space available in our no upfront fee program, please contact us at 1-877-884-9577.
