Like I said before, try advertising your unit here on RedWeek. Other good sites are TUG, My Resort Network, Bidshares, and Craigslist. You can advertise for a lot less than with SMTN. Make sure you know all the details of what you own because one thing that really turns off potential buyers is the owner being under-informed of what he owns. As you use those sites, check what similar units are listing or selling for and price yours comparatively and competitively. Just be careful with listing prices that you see because some owners are listing with unrealistic expectations. One recommendation is to check E-Bay's completed listings for similar units. That will tell you what buyers actually paid. When you do advertise and a prospective buyer contacts you about your ad, you and he have to come to an agreement on the price and who pays transfer and closing costs. Once you and the buyer have agreed to all of that, then you probably would want to hire a professional closing company. They will charge anywhere from $150-$300 for their services. Some recommended ones are Legal Timeshare Transfers, JRA Closings, and Timeshare Transfer (among others). Once you agree on a closing company, they will send you papers for you to sign and get notarized. Then send the papers back to the closing company and they will take care of legally transferring ownership to the new buyer.
