ideas for selling Bluegreen?

Mar 19, 2018

we have a bluegreen platinum membership. my husband is dealing with many health issues and we are ready to give somebody a deal on our points to travel. please send this information out and let us know if you can help us recover some of our investment.

It's almost impossible to recoup anything (more than a couple of hundred) on the investment because many of the perks are stripped upon resale. The new owner doesn't get a platinum membership. They just get points without any benefits beyond the basic membership.

Hi. How do you rent out your timeshare?

The first and most important rule is to never, ever pay anyone an upfront fee to rent out(or sell) your timeshare. Upfront fees for rentals and sales are scams.

You can advertise on reputable websites such as here on RedWeek. Others are Craigslist, My Resort Network, and Timeshare Users Group. Also, price your rental competitively. Remember, the person renting from you will not really care what you are paying in maintenance fees.

You first need to have (or make) a confirmed reservation. You can then advertise that reserved week for rent here on RedWeek or elsewhere. You should utilize a detailed rental contract once you find a tenant, to protect both parties and to clearly address payment, cancellation / refund terms, maximum unit occupancy, minimum age of the tenant signing the contract and / or occupying the unit.

It's never a good idea to rent to college Spring Breakers; I always state a minimum age of 25 for the signatory in my rental contracts, with proof of age by government issued photo i.d. required at check-in, also requiring exact match with the name of the contract signatory (said name having already been provided to the resort by me before the occupancy date). Requiring that "exact match" i.d. eliminates the possibility of Mommy and Daddy signing the contract and paying for the rental, only to have their college age progeny actually show up to occupy the unit. That just ain't ever gonna happen in my timeshare units. Good luck.

Are you still interested in a purchase? I have 10,000 points and no interest in making a profit. Due to family medical issues I need to let this go. Just let me know if you're interested. Thanks!

Hey Ben, did you ever get your points sold? If you get this message please reply one way or the other. We are also trying to get rid of our points. Thanks, Jim

We have had a buyer and Blue Green says we can't sell. What in the world?? We just don't want this timeshare any longer. We never use it. How in the world can we get it sold? We're not even wanting to profit, just want out! HELP

Is it paid off? If so Bluegreen can either buy/take it from you at the same price as the buyer (ROFR) or let you sell. Either way you are off the hook.

It's been paid off since 2014. They won't let us sell it. If there is a way to get out that anyone knows about, I would love to hear it!

Does Blue Green exercise Right of First Refusal (ROFR)? Are the maintenance fees up to date?

Maintenance fees are current. So...if we go to do the transaction online, they have to either let us sell it or take it themselves with the right of refusal?

I don't know if doing the transaction online has anything to do with it. However, with ROFR, yes, if Blue Green nixes a sale that you have in place, then Blue Green must buy it from you for the price on which you agreed with the other potential buyer. Either way, someone is buying it from you.

I lost my husband 4 years ago and not planning on using my Bluegreen much in the future. So I am looking into selling my points and wanting to know what the value is and what or how you can help.
