Reselling Timeshares - Relief Or Grief?
By Erick Cornwell
The credibility of selling and reselling timeshares is getting low with the advent of frauds and scams in the timeshare industry. Various up front payments such as marketing fee, appraisal fee and other kinds of "fee" have been bringing up negative impressions to potential buyers. Money-back guarantee or deposits that are refundable are some of the wise tactics that scammers are using these days. The good thing is, buyers are becoming more cautious about the unscrupulous payments being asked before signing the purchase agreement or contract.

* Reselling Preparations - Timeshare owners who are considering reselling their timeshares must make sure that they know how much they are going to get from the sale. If you are a timeshare owner seeking to sell your timeshare, make sure that you value your timeshare properly to avoid being short-charged. It is a sad reality, but nowadays, timeshare owners only get as much 10%-30% of the actual price of the property when it was bought. As in comparison to real property investments, value of timeshares devaluates over time since it is more of a luxurious investment.
* Marketing Options - One of the most effective strategies in selling timeshares is by giving accurate information about the time shared property. Avoid misleading people just to close a deal and get rid of your timeshare right away. Accurate information can be a measure of your credibility that most of the buyers are after. Be creative and comprehensive about your advertising and postings but never do exaggerations. If you consider offline and online advertisements, you may have to spend a bit. However, there are websites that offer free services for those seeking for timeshare resale. If in case prospective buyers communicate with you through emails or calls, be sure to be prompt in answering them. Always be ready for another reasonable counter offer to the buyer in case of any bargaining.
* Timeshares with Loans - Timeshares with outstanding loans, on the other hand, can still be considered for resale, as well. However, finding potential buyers for timeshares with loans on it can be quite difficult. The best option is to consider refinancing the loan. Search for financial institutions that can assist such situations. Getting a home mortgage refinancing scheme can also be another option. What is important is that the loan issue must be settled first before you place your timeshares for resale in order to increase its marketable price.
* Closing the Deal - In the event that the potential buyer is already willing to close the deal, do the necessary legal procedures. State everything in the contract or agreement before both parties sign the contract. As much as possible, seek for any legal assistance or consult timeshare experts on how to go through the whole process. This will lessen the hassles that may arise along the way.
