Re: I worked at a timeshare SCAM....I want to tell you about it.

Advising you on where to advertize conflicts with Redweek's goal to have you advertise on their site. I have to say though that if "Visions" is advertising on Redweek, why pay "Visions" when you can place an ad on your own for a lot less? Normally I would make a different argument but too many large up front fee fee companies make their money on the up front fee with far less effort spent on securing customers for you. If the fee is up front, the smaller fee FSBO / FRBO websites with larger internet presence are your only acceptable option. IMHO the larger fee companies are really FSBO / FRBO entities in diguise. They might hold your hand a bit to complete the deal, they might respond to inquiries. But they aren't selling your unit. Agents relying on commission are working to sell units becasue they don't get paid otherwise. I feel strongly that pretty much all other entities have not proven (regardless of what they say) they actively find/convince customers to buy/rent from owners. If your timeshare has an owner site, see if they have a forum, ask a few members (or other owners if you learn how to contact a few) who live closer to the timeshare what options they are aware of for advertising in that region. I noticed when traveling my Google results are VERY different while in international locations vs when at home. Searches appear to be regionalized/nationalized and a US Google search is not maximizing your ability to identify regional/national websites.
