Brief advice, to follow or ignore as you see fit... (by KC):

1. First and foremost, you need to construct and place your own ads on each individual site you choose, providing a full and accurate description (resort, week, unit, amenities, etc.) and of course your asking price. You don't need to worry about a closing company at all until you actually have a willing BUYER.
2. As far as a closing company,. LT Transfers in Georgia is honest and competent and charges a fee of around $300. They will handle all deed preparation and recording, escrow of funds, and resort notification, but finding a buyer FIRST is solely up to YOU. Independent closing companies do NOT buy or sell or advertise timeshares; they merely handle and perform the legal procedures involved in the transfer of ownership once a buyer and seller have ALREADY agreed to terms on their own.
3. To repeat once again however, you must be realistic in your expectations (and in your asking price). Unless the week you want to sell is at a desirable facility in a desirable location and a season with at least SOME demand, you might very well have to GIVE it away AND pay the closing costs yourself in order to part with the ownership. Timeshare weeks of low demand are offered every day of the week on eBay, a thousand or more listed every day, for a penny to a dollar --- with NO takers. Good luck.
