Selling Your Timeshare Unit

Transfer America

Get rid of your timeshare today

When timeshare owners are looking to get rid of their timeshares, most often the first idea they have it putting them up for sale. Timeshare owners think it’s possible to recoup some of the cost that was put into the timeshare by selling their vacation property. Sadly, the reality is that most of these timeshare owners do not see successful results. The timeshare resale industry currently does not favor timeshare sellers which makes it difficult to make a timeshare sale. Currently the timeshare resale market is flooded with sellers and there are only a handful of those looking to buy.

If you are a timeshare owner unhappy with your property and you are looking to sell, you might what to take a moment to evaluating your situation and the timeshare industry. First thing to note is that timeshare resort developers are your main competitor. But how can you make a decent effort against these big corporations? They have billions of dollars and endless resources to research the market and train their expert team of representatives in their hard-hitting sales strategies and tactics. Their marketing budget allows them to offer incentives like free roundtrip airfare, hotel rooms, cruises, vacations, and other enticements that make it nearly impossible for buyers to say no. It is just not possible for a single timeshare owner to compete with resorts.

Secondly, most who buy timeshares will make their purchase after actually visiting or staying at the resort. Many sales are made at the resort when the vacationer is able to experience the real deal in the exact location with the amenities offered, and then the timeshare appears more attractive and valuable. Even though the timeshare reseller may own a beautiful unit in an amazing location, they may have a difficult time making a sale since the timeshare is in a far-off location. It is easy for the prospective buyer not to believe the seller’s description. The saying ‘seeing is believing’ endures in this situation. Furthermore, consider how many people are actually interested in purchasing a timeshare when they’re not vacationing. There’s few out there and less in this downbeat economy. So what timeshare exit solution do you really have?

Many timeshare owners who are looking to sell their unit do not think about the timeshare industry in this light when they first try to sell their timeshares. Timeshare sellers usually fell into the timeshare trap when they initially bought their unit. Typically that initial purchase was made on a whim and not much thought went into that purchase because of the timeshare sales representative’s high pressure tactics. Because this purchase was made hastily, they believe their unit should sell just as quickly. So timeshare owners get frustrated when they are not able to sell their timeshare even for as low as $1.

Timeshare owners then turn to companies that claim to specialize in timeshare resales.  Unfortunately, most of these turn out to be scams. These shady companies contact timeshares owners looking to sell their property and promise they have hot buyers lined up for your property. However, the seller must first pay an upfront fee of up to $900 to use this service, and then pay even more when the transaction is completed. The idea of any prospective buyer interested in their unit is reason enough for a timeshare seller to jump at the offer of a viable timeshare exit solution. Sadly, if the offer sounds too good to be true it probably is and when the timeshare owner falls for this scam, they end up losing even more money.

Your top timeshare exit solution is to use a company like Transfer America. This company allows timeshare owners to get their name off their timeshare contract, thereby liberating themselves of their timeshare property and all related annual fees and bills. Although this service is performed for a fee, clients should not fear that they are being taken advantage of again. Transfer America guarantees a reliable timeshare exit solution. If you are a timeshare owner looking to get rid of your timeshare let Transfer America be your first and last way to get out of your timeshare troubles.
