Would you be so kind as to tell us who you used as a real estate agent to buy/sell your timeshares. Any help and direction is much appreciated.

I have no idea to whom your question is directed, nor any idea what company you refer to in your subject line, but my own recommendation is to not use any real estate agent at all in timeshare transactions. Many realtors charge 25% of the transaction amount, or a minimum of $1,500 (whichever is more), to do what timeshare buyers and sellers can easily accomplish entirely on their own, without any "middleman". Also, most owners know that they don't ever need any "middleman" involvement to sell (or to rent out) high quality weeks in places where demand consistently exceeds available supply.

I have bought and sold about 20 individual timeshare weeks (now own only 6 prime weeks, with no intentions of buying or selling any more). I have never purchased a timeshare using a real estate agent and I have never used a real estate agent to sell any of my weeks either. Instead, I have purchased only directly from advertising owners (or from owners I've met directly at the resorts where I own intervals or have rented a week) and I have sold (and / or rented) intervals only by advertising entirely on my own --- primarily right here on RedWeek.

In short, you don't need a real estate agent for timeshare transactions. Real estate agents seldom have access to the best inventory anyhow. Worse, many real estate brokers and agents are so absolutely clueless about important and relevant timeshare details that their involvement is often much more of a hindrance than a "help".

Just my own personal opinion, but based upon several decades of direct, first hand knowledge and experience in timeshare matters. YMMV.
