Re: TimeShare by Owners (by R P.):

... only a licensed broker or real estate agent can list real property (Deeded timeshares are real property) for sale. But the basic concept is that if you market timeshares for sale and rent and you are not licensed, you can only charge a listing fee for the sale and (for the most part) forward purchase inquiries to the owner.

If this is the case why aren't licensed real estate brokers the only people that CAN sell timeshares just like they sell and list houses with absolutely no upfront fee involved ... they get their commission after they sell.

Anyone can set up a timeshare sales site without any licensing whatsoever and they get away with it by calling it a listing fee or advertising fee taking millions of money from their clients with no intention of selling anything .... all they want is the upfront fee. You say that timeshares are real deeded property as are homes, so how do timeshare upfront fee resellers get away with their scams if timeshares are indeed real deeded property?
