Selling Your Timeshare Property - Page 2

cookiejarcollector. I have found a couple of brokers on the internet who will help you sell your timeshare, but they take a 35% commission rate(ABSURD). Also, they generally wanted to price my timeshare very, very low, I guess so they can tack-on the hefty commission rate?? They weren't that easy to find, could not provide comps for other timeshares like mine they have sold and not very optimistic about my take-home proceeds. I think I like this concept better. I pay to advertise and have my timeshare marketed until sold and I receive 100% when it sells.

How come you make the seller of the timeshare pay the closing costs instead of the buyer? Every company I have spoke with says the buyer is responsible for paying closing charges except your company asks us to upgrade to the "Platinum package" which means I would be paying for closing costs. Why is that?

You should listen to the advice of the Real Estate agent. What you should do is go to google.com and type in buyer related terms like : buy timeshare, buy (the state of the timeshare) timeshare or just type in buy and the name of the resort. That way if you working with the company that pops up most consistantly you know the buyer will likely go to that site. another recomendation is to talk to a few companies and ask them for their traffic stats, and offer stats plus check up on them with the BBB

I don't have a Westgate timeshare, but my resort is also packed and popular. My husband sells real estate in Ashville, NC and works for a nationally recognized real estate firm. He has been in contact with his company's office in Central Florida and they directed him to the internet in search of a resale company. The trouble is they all demand some kind of listing or advertising fee! So, we're stuck in this 'circle of confusion' and really don't know what to do...
