Re: Need to find a real estate agent for contract proving attempt to sell timeshare? (by Candice and John M.):
JayJay..We have owned for many years and sure do know we won't get anywhere near what we paid. With no rush we are carefully weighing all of the pros/cons and so want to make the right decision. It is nice to not be in a big rush and do our homework.
I would be happy to share with you what Marriott offered us to buyback, but not publicly. Is there a way to reach you via email?

Yeah, we know we will take a loss on these weeks (Hawaii) if we decide to sell...we are not a rush and all are paid off and maintenance fees are paid in full each year. Marriott has emailed us offering to buy our weeks back, but we know very well they are worth more than what Marriott is offering!I agree we should try redweek first. This website is great for renting out parts of our unit when not needed. I am just so leery of the scammers and dishonest people out there scouring for another victim. If we sell we want to do it right.
I would certainly be curious to know what Marriott is offering .... of course it won't be anywhere near what you paid if you bought directly from Marriott, but then again, you're not going to get on the resale market anywhere near what you paid either.
Hawaii was once one of the most popular timeshare destinations out there, but in this economy with the cost of flying (plus all the hassles of flying), car rentals etc. Hawaii is not what is used to be as far as a destination .... you'll need to weigh all the pros and cons.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
