Get Rid of Your Timeshare in 1 Week
July 29, 2008
Odds are that you’d like to get rid of your timeshare property if you felt coerced into making the purchase. Receiving a refund may be of importance for you. You may, for a umber of reasons, be unable to utilize your assigned time as frequently as you’d wish.
Therefore, getting something back on your investment is a high priority. Timeshare resales are a market all by themselves. How exactly do you go about selling yours?
Anyone who has done any work toward reselling a timeshare has encountered companies that claim that they’ll perform all of the work for you. Many of these companies are real, but many others are not. A company that asks for payment up front, in any form, is probably a fraud.
A legitimate company can make its money once they get rid of your timeshare. Regardless of how many buyers they claim that they have lined up, don’t give them your money. Even if it sounds like a really legitimate fee like an “appraisal fee” or “processing fee” just steer clear. However, if a company doesn’t ask for any money up front and you’ve done your research on them, they might be a good alternative.
When you decide to sell your timeshare, do not expect to get what you invested into it. You should price it on comparable values, not what you think it is worth. The biggest decisions are how much you are willing to list it for and whether you sell it yourself or seek someone else as an agent.
If you made your purchase from a developer, the odds of accomplishing this are very poor. You might have to settle for as little as 30% of what you initially invested in it. Several factors might cause you to reduce the selling price.
First of all, you might have overpaid for it in the first place. If you took whatever the initial asking price was, then you paid much more than you should have. Another reason is that you can’t duplicate the high pressure sales presentation that the developer can. You can’t really afford to bring hundreds of people in for “free vacations” or employ salespeople.
When you decide to sell a timeshare, you will find that the actual price of the resale is usually less than what you paid for it. You should check out eBay or Craigslist, for example, for comparable sales prices. Then decide how much the resale value is and list your own.
An abundance of listing places exist once you’ve made your decision. A number of operating online sites list timeshare properties being sold worldwide, with some success. In addition, you may want to consider an auctioneer like e-Bay.
There are many different things you can do to get rid of your timeshare and being flexible will give you a better chance. Keep trying different incentives to discover one that works. Timeshares sell everyday and yours will sell too.
