Re: Offer to handle and pay all closing costs ... (by R P.):
Chanell, the way I sell timeshares is by listing them on sites such as redweek, myresortnetwork, bidshares and Ebay.
I always price the week reasonably and lower than other weeks listed at the same resort (look at what weeks are selling for at your resort on Redweek and if none have been sold, the sellers are pricing them too high). I always buy weeks at reasonable prices, so when I get ready to sell I can sell them reasonably.
People are looking for bargains when buying resales. Most people list their weeks for sale far too high. You cannot go by what you paid for the week, you have to go by what the market (buyer) will pay and you may take a loss. If you get no responses when placing your ad after a couple of weeks, continue dropping the price until you start getting responses.
If you follow the guidelines above and you have a desirable week, at a desirable location/resort at a desirable time, you should not have any trouble selling your week IF it is priced right, which many times is much lower than what people think their week is actually worth and what many people are asking for.
The market is controlled by the buyer.
