Selling a Timeshare is Hard

What family wouldn't jump at the chance?
Unfortunately, it is much harder to sell a Worldwide Resort Resales than you think. For starters, the timeshare resale market is bloated. Browse the timeshare listings. Sorry but the average timeshare resaler has thousands of listings.
Wal-mart can sell you a T-shirt cheaply, because they have a ton of T-shirts to sell. Now apply that to your timeshare. In the recessed economy, and rising maintenance fees, many more timeshare owners are deciding their timeshare isn't cost effective, than there are people with enough excess money and desire to afford luxury vacations.

There is a surplus of people trying to sell their timeshares.
Now, think about the developers who sold you the timeshare in the first place.

An Easy How-To Selling Your Timeshare
You need to be realistic when you set out to sell your timeshare under. The market is swimming in timeshare resellers, people just like you. It's not in the developer's best interests to have you sell your timeshare.

However, even bigger timeshares that allow some flexibility generally sell for 30%-50% less than their original price. If you are in a hurry you may resort to selling low. Let's see if there are ways to help you sell your timeshare.

Seller (and buyer) beware. The timeshare market is full of self-interested scam artists trying to make a quick buck. You might be desperate to sell but don't trust anyone who promises you a quick sale.
