Hi Parker,

There is a great market for vacation properties in Vail, there are a few different factors that come into play when selling your timeshare.

1. Location - Owning a timeshare in a high destination area, some locations have a quicker selling time-frame (more popular) than properties in obscure locations. The average sell time for a vacation property is 6 months, give or take a few.

2. Pricing - Obviously you cannot compete with the resort, buyers that shop the resale market are looking to save 20%-30% minimum from what the resort is selling them for. The lower the price, the more appealing it will be to potential buyers...this will directly reflect how many offers you receive on your timeshare.

3. Exposure - The company you list with has to have an outstanding marketing program using the most strategic techniques that are available for this industry. We do around 80% of our business directly over the internet these days, in 2005 we spent over $300k with Google alone, not mention Yahoo, Aol, Msn, Ask Jeeves and all the other search engines. To cover all aspects for this industry we also have a television commercial that Warner Brothers produced for us and use traditional advertising as well (direct mailing, news papers & travel agencies).

4. Program - Find a company that offers a great program giving the buyers incentive to shop. We are the only vacation property reseller in this industry that offers a no closing cost program, this makes the buyers decision must easier on where to purchase a timeshare from. All of our competitors charge an additional $400-$600 at the end of the sale to the buyers for closing costs, we get them where it counts...in the wallet. Our program makes your property look more attractive!
