Truth About Selling Timeshares
There basically two avenues for selling timeshares.
First you can sell by owner.
Or you can choose to use a real estate agent or a broker to help with the transaction.
No matter which avenue you choose, it is important to do your own research and educate yourself so that you save/make the most money possible.
There are two important parts of selling timeshares, whether by owner or through an agency.
First of all, you need to price your timeshare right.
Have an appraisal done by a reputable company.
Do research on what other timeshares are going for.
Additionally, you will need to advertise that your timeshare is for sale.
It is possible to do both these things by yourself, and you are almost guaranteed to save money this way.
However, it requires research and a time commitment.
For some, the money they save is not worth the time it takes.
I do recommend some research into selling timeshares either way.

The internet is obviously the best way to advertise that your timeshare is for sale.

You can reach a specific geographic audience and your listing will stay posted for a very long time.
Additionally, you can choose to list your timeshare for sale on eBay.
As you know, eBay is the most popular auction site in the world.
You will have to pay fees for these listings.
However, you can be assured that your listing will be exposed to thousands of potential buyers.
The funny thing is that even if you choose to use a real estate agent or a broker, they may use one of these sites themselves to market your timeshare.
So it might be a good idea just to pay an agent a one time consulting fee to get your questions answered, but then do the leg work yourself.
