Re: sELLING MY TIMESHARE (by Jon S.):
My Opinion: If someone is looking to sell, ALWAYS check with your resort in-house sales dept. IF, the resort handles resales, you will always get a better deal.
The Logic: TS buyers always contact the resort for info and availability. Your fees, if any, will be lower. Info will be "more" honest
You can always list on the web, such as Redweek, but you have the advantage of also having it listed at the resort. You can still negoiate the selling price, the same as you would do if listing your residence.
Most importantly, be realistic! There are tons for TS sitting out here for sale, with greatly inflated prices. If you seriously want to sell, price it in the proper range for resales. Remember it's a TS, not a lottery ticket.
Redweek listed resales at one of my resorts, are priced considerably higher than value and they are "pool" or "courtyard" views. Someone calling the resort, will find beachfronts for less money. There is no difference in units, other than view. And while prices are negotiable, a listed high dollar price will be a turn-off to many prospects. "Fairplay" will almost always win.
