Re: Getting rid of a time share.

[Q=suzannes77] Who pays for the closing costs? The seller or the buyer? I'm thinking of posting my listing on RedWeek and using their closing company....[/Q] Traditionally, it's been the buyer who pays the closing costs. However, recently, because many people are desperately trying to unload their timeshares, they've been offering to pay the closing costs as an incentive. Remember, there are way more sellers than buyers right now so look at it this way. If I were in the market to buy a timeshare like yours and I saw half a dozen other ads for a similar timeshare, what would you offer to make me choose yours over the others? If others are offering to pay the costs while you insist that the buyer for your timeshare pay the closing costs, which do you think I would choose? In your ad, it would be best if you made it clear who will be responsible for the closing costs as well as resort transfer fee (if there is one).
